- Support for 2GB and larger files
- Support for VC-1 and MPEG-4 video
- Support for 720i/1080i/1080p
- Support 100 Tb/sec bandwidth
That’s pretty impressive. So while AT&T and Comcast sit around declaring the crash of the internet, to justify rate-spikes in the next 5-10 years, Akamai is just building out an insanely huge network… bravo!
