In March, Highwinds announced it had raised $55 million from General Catalyst Partners and Alta Communications. Highwinds plans to use the capital to do additional build out of their network named "RollingThunder" which includes a CDN offering.

Of all the calls I do with analysts, money managers and others tracking the content delivery market, rarely do those I speak with ask about video birates. For me, the growth of the content delivery market and the very success of the CDNs relies heavily on the trend we see developing for increased bitrates....

About six months ago, I was really convinced that P2P might start to get some traction in the new year and that we would see some content owners commit to the technology.

While I expect a few thousand respondents over the course of a month, after a few days we already have over five hundred customers who have filled it...

In October of last year, Level 3 announced that it would offer their content delivery services for video for the same price that it was charging for transit. Many in the industry incorrectly saw this as Level 3 saying they were undercutting other CDNs in the market and entering the industry as the low-cost...
