What does that mean for the CDN world if it manifests?

They have every right to sue copycat companies who infringe their patents.
The YouTube and other growing businesses will, as they grow further, give up the value added offerings of Limelight for the stability and security of Akamai’s network.

Take a look at Digital Island, Sandpiper and Speedera. Lastly, $100 million of the 130 raised went to the management team and existing shareholders. So LL is screwed, not Akamai. Stay tuned, If we see a temporary injunction at the forthcoming hearing Limelight is for the most part, over.

They only brought it to try to disrupt the Limelight financing that was recently announced. Now that Limelight has the money, Akamai is screwed.
