Keep in mind that Akamai Streaming != Akamai Static content
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.
