>>before equity-related non-cash compensation charges<< read, transfer of wealth from barefoot, crayon carrying shareholders. i wonder if this stock compensation is determined by # of shares or a straight dollar value. if the latter then someone is making a killing and diluting the heck out of akam. va linux was great at fleecing their shareholders like this...

After the market closed, Cambridge, Mass.-based Akamai said it posted a normalized net loss of $52.5 million, or 53 cents a share, Analysts, on average, were looking for Akamai to post a net loss of 55 cents a share, according to research firm Thomson Financial/First Call. James, It is a new world. You have to know how to read these reports. Look they beat expectations and they actually did say how much they really lost<VVBG> Have you ever seen a release from Amazon that read like this? "- Akamai Technologies Inc. on Wednesday reported a first-quarter operating loss of $2.2 billion mostly due to a non-cash impairment charge as it works to overcome slowing demand for its services that speed the delivery of Internet Web pages." I believe they may fold once they have lost a trillion dollars<G> Seriously, I am staying long. Their stuff works. Just no one wants to buy it:-)
