RE: "Why would ISLD be working with Inktomi given ISLD's acquisition of Sandpiper?"

One of the press releases answers the question:

"Inktomi already has a stake in Sandpiper Networks, which Digital Island agreed in October to acquire in a reported $630.5 million stock swap."

The beauty of this is that it still looks cheap compared to the overpriced, overhyped AKAM (with its ads in the New Yorker magazine and public radio sponsorships).
