Akamai To Announce New Strategic Company Direction For Video Delivery Tomorrow

Dan Rayburn | Monday September 28, 2009 | 12:01 AM | Comments (1)

Last Friday, Akamai announced via an email to members of the media that the company will "Announce a New Strategic Company Direction for Video Delivery", via a live webcast on Tuesday. Over the weekend, I got a lot of calls and inquiries asking me for more details on the announcement. While I don't know what Akamai plans to announce, a lot of industry folks are speculating that the new Akamai offering would be something around P2P-assisted delivery, but I have no evidence to show that's accurate. Guess we'll have to wait until Tuesday to find out and I'll blog the details of the announcement as soon as they come out.

Dan, sounds like it is time for a social experiment on how quickly media learns lessons. Pick something outrageous and throw it up on your twitter account. See how long before CNN is covering it. "Akamai to announce cache-accelerated smoke signals" or something. Be sure to mention that the info came from "somebody close to akamai" or other vague source.
