Buck, thanks for your ongoing contributions to Project Hunt. I'm interested in your conclusion that,

Akamai should be an Application Gorilla, by virtue of their development of the standard, and early-mover status

Being the originator of the ICAP protocol would only have primate potential if it were to remain under Akamai's control and became an open proprietary standard. This is the very issue that caused Goeff Moore to label Qualcomm incorrectly last summer, as he was under the impression that the Ericsson settlement involved ceding control of the cdma standard to an international standards group.

Is "early mover status" a metric you found in the rfm, or was it borrowed from some other evaluation model? I've seen it used several times, but don't recollect encountering it in the fm.
