Digital Island is a key player in the Cisco Content Alliance, so the recent agreement of EXCA with Digital Island SURE SOUNDS GOOD TO ME. The mission of the Content Alliance is to provide productive ways of delivering content at the edge of the network ( in my own words).
The next _new_ new_ wave in this revolution is providing value add at the EDGE OF THE NETWORK.
wired: the edge of the network tired: the long haul
