Danny, yes I am thinking akam is very attractive here. My problem is that I am already so heavily invested in inet infrastructure. The other company I am loving is insp. Do you have any opinion on it??

Danny, have you ever read the Gilder report? Here's an excerpt from it. >By contrast, Akamai, for example, does not readily accommodate the dynamic portions of web pages. For a small number of objects in great demand, the Akamai system is highly effective. But the web consists of a billion pages mostly in limited demand. Even a popular site under heavy demand, such as a catalog or an encyclopedia, may have thousands of objects. Akamai can do relatively little for such a customer.
