Defining Wall Street's Role In The Online Video Industry

While most folks know what a venture capitalist (VC) is and the role they play in helping to fund companies in the industry, many don't know the differences between private equity (PE) firms, investment banks (IB), buy and sell-side institutional investors and money managers. To help clear up some of these terms, we've got a short article on StreamingMedia.com that many will find useful, describing the role each plays in the industry. The article was written by Colby Synesael, who yesterday announced his new job at Kaufman Brothers as SVP of Equity Research.

Colby has done a great job tracking the CDN market from a financial perspective. His research is clearly presented and exhibits a depth of thought and understanding that we have appreciated at Highwinds.

Colby, I wish you well in your new role at Kaufman Brothers and hope that your future responsibilities there include tracking the CDN industry.
