Broadwing will add Akamai's EdgeSuite, a set of content delivery services bundling many of Akamai's offerings, to the company's managed hosting and collocation services. Internap signed a similar deal to sell Akamai services along with its own. Internap works to improve the speed data moves within the Internet for its customers, while Akamai works to move that data out of the Internet to the edge of the network.
