Not neccessarily. I did a live streaming job just before Christmas 07
for a site in Germany that had Akamai as its back end for both Live
and on-demand. We were live for about 10 days. The feed point
(ingest) was Sydney (via 2 different ISPs). The closest server was
also Sydney from memory. The on-demand we uploaded to Germany each night.
Peering used to be a dirty word at Akamai. Their business
model/architecure didn't encourage it. So it would have been a "very
large customer" (tm) who got it changed.
It means on-line.skytv.co.nz will work now.
Good work by CallPlus.
