Digital Island Streams More Than 700 Gigabytes of Content for FOXNEWS.com and Other Major Online News Providers

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 22, 2000-- As the Election 2000 U.S. Presidential race continues to unfold, voters are increasingly turning to online media for real-time news and updates. For example, one of the leading providers of Internet content delivery, Digital Island (Nasdaq:ISLD - news), reports that more than 700 gigabytes of streamed video election coverage have been downloaded from its customers' online news sites, including FOXNEWS.com, NPR, and Reuters.

According to Nielsen/NetRatings, during and after Election Day, more than one million unique visitors turned to FOXNEWS.com, eclipsing previous records for the site, as Americans hit the Internet for breaking news about the tight presidential race. Digital Island provided the streaming for the exclusive Election 2000 coverage on FOXNEWS.com, which included an instantly updated Electoral College map available on the site's homepage, live streaming video of complete FOX News Channel election reporting and up-to-the minute developments for all congressional districts in the country.

Traffic on the site spiked by approximately 462% over the previous Tuesday, to more than 61.5 gigabytes of streaming content, with more than two thirds of visitors coming to the site for election coverage. The site also reported more than 7.7 million page views for the day, almost double its previous record. FOXNEWS.com received more unique users for the day than nytimes.com, washingtonpost.com, usatoday.com and cbs.com.

``Digital Island gave FOXNEWS.com the ability to flawlessly support the massive volume of streams required for Election 2000,'' said James Budrow, director of technical operations, News Digital Media. ``Their team worked seamlessly with our internal staff to deliver the best experience for FOXNEWS.com users.''

By utilizing Digital Island's services, FOXNEWS.com was able to deliver content in step with demand, and handle large-scale one-time events that caused spikes in Web traffic. Usage of the site has risen substantially -- especially among broadband users who will become an increasingly important audience.
