	Telephony: Content with an edge - Akamai Technologies, content delivery networks - Company Business and Marketing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Akamai's response was to install servers at the edges of public networks that would cache frequently accessed Web elements, refreshing them occasionally so the most desired content on the Web was that much closer to the users who wanted it.
		Akamai also is contributing to the development of XSLT, an ESI interface to XML that will allow ESI-treated pages to be easily rendered in HTML, WAP or whatever other language needed to reach wireline and wireless users on different kinds of networks.
		Typically, Akamai has co-located its servers in carrier networks, meaning its servers have occupied carrier resources; by selling services to end users who were also likely to be customers of the carrier, Akamai effectively undermined the potential for the carrier to provide those services itself.

		While Akamai is still a young company with plenty of risk, its positive direction is noteworthy.
