A snippet from the exodus.net web site:
[[BOSTON, Mass. - July 16, 2002 - Cable & Wireless (NYSE:
CWP) today filed a suit in U.S. District Court charging that
Akamai Technologies, Inc. infringes on a newly issued
content-delivery-network (CDN) patent, which covers ways to
ensure that only the freshest information is served to Web
sites and ways to optimize content storage by avoiding
duplication of information in a CDN.]]

Cable & Wireless owns exodus.net. For several hours today I
have not been able to access anything that crosses Exodus'
network, like google.com for instance. Has Akamai stopped
content distribution for anything that crosses Exodus.
Wouldn't that be a hoot.

Cheers,
