LOL - that's silly. Akamai has done a number of large events and continues to perform. If you need proof look at their event this week. They're streaming ALL of the March Madness games? They did Apple's Keynote announcements, Microsoft's Live Earth, and countless other large volume, flash crowd type events.</p> <p>For not having a clue Brian seems awfully educated. I like LimeLight but sold after their loss on the patent infringement announcement. A good story that never materialized.</p> LimeLight says Akamai couldn’t have handled the Oprah event?

After banging our heads against the wall with them on some ongoing tech problems we were having, they finally came back and said "we can't help you." This was for a major corporate entity whose name anyone would recognize. We had top drop them and go with someone else.</p> Limelight seriously dropped the ball on our account with them recently.
