Pasted From Post by DOUGH on AKAM thread: IMO AKAM and ISLD's Sandpiper look pretty much equal when one profiles investors as well as revenue and customer base, both of which have been reported in threads this week. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Impressed with the technology, Microsoft last month agreed to invest $15 million in Akamai, giving it about a 1 percent stake. Cisco also purchased Akamai's Series E convertible preferred stock for roughly $49 million, worth about 4 percent of the company. Apple invested $12.5 million in the firm in June. Meanwhile, Thousand Oaks, California-based Sandpiper Networks, founded in 1996, reported more than $28.1 million in investments over the past year, from companies including America Online, Inktomi, Eagle New Media Investment (an investment arm of the Times-Mirror Company), Hambrecht & Quist's Access Technology Partners, and Bayview Investors (an affiliate of BancBoston Robertson Stephens). -------------------------------------------------------------------
