Internet World, Stand 762, London -- Mirror Image Internet, an innovative leader in Internet
acceleration services, today announced that connections to its London Content Access Point (CAP)
facility in London by service providers are continuing to grow at a phenomenal rate. The CAP, located
at Telecity in the heart of London's Docklands, speeds the delivery of Internet and streaming content
for over one million UK users.
The growing community of service providers with direct connections to the Mirror Image London
CAP has helped make it one of the largest content delivery networks in Europe, offering 800 Mbps of
connectivity in London alone.
The newest members of the London CAP include major ISPs Cable & Wireless, Carrier 1, Nildram and
PSINet as well as seven members of the London Network Access Point (LoNAP), London's alternative
Internet Exchange for smaller independent ISPs. Each of these members has selected Mirror Image
to provide Internet services from its instaDeliverySM content delivery suite.
"The almost exponential growth of Internet penetration in Europe has seen an unprecedented demand
for content. Mirror Image's CAPs are helping us to meet this demand by ensuring that Europe's most
popular Internet content is never more than milliseconds away for our users. Mirror Images CAP is a
key component of the Carrier1 Content Delivery Strategy.", said Dominic McGlinchey, Director Internet
Strategic Development at Carrier 1.
The London CAP is part of Mirror Image's open network of robust and intelligent CAPs located at key
Internet exchange locations around the world. Designed to speed the delivery of Internet content, the
CAP network stores content closer to the end user and powers the Mirror Image suite of
instaDelivery Internet Services. This suite of services includes leading global content distribution,
streaming and caching offerings.
About the Mirror Image Internet Content Access Point (CAP) Network
The concept behind the Mirror Image Content Access Point (CAP) network is based on the principle
that content distribution, content management and Web transactions are best handled from a network
position closer to end users, where the networks of a geographical region converge. At these key
Internet exchange points, the massive, intelligent CAPs store content and aggregate traffic to deliver
up to 75 percent of cacheable Internet content directly into the networks of that region. This approach
eliminates the need to route requests to other servers in distant locations and enables end-to-end
traffic control from origin server to CAP to user, anywhere in the world.
Powered by the CAPs, the Mirror Image Internet family of instaDeliverySM Internet Services speeds
the delivery of high-quality content to end users worldwide. The result is a dramatically faster Internet
at a lower cost, enabling service providers, content providers and enterprises to deliver maximum
speed performance, scalability and end-user experience.

Mirror Image Internet is an innovative leader in Internet acceleration services, singularly able to
consistently deliver requested content faster than other methods, regardless of location or volume
demand. This is accomplished using globally deployed patented technology that employs open
standards and offers unmatched scalability and reliability. The foundation for this uniquely
cost-effective approach is the secure and intelligent Content Access Point (CAP) architecture, which
powers the suite of instaDeliverySM Internet Services and enables Mirror Image to provide content
providers, service providers, enterprises and end users with an increasingly superior and satisfying
