Just yesterday VeriSign, which is getting in the CDN business in a big way, announced a deal to distribute BBC video.
Level 3, a big backbone broadband carrier, launched during the telecom boom year of 1998, is making a number acquistions in the space. Just a few moments ago, the company announced the $45 mllion purchase of Dublin-based Servcast.
Above is my interview with Level 3's Lisa Guillaume.
