In the studio here, I was tasked at one point to find an 
alternative to Akamai, who presented all sorts of 
patience-bending problems to us. I took a look at VitalStream 
and presented them as an option, in part based on your 
involvement and track-record on this list. We looked at several 
providers, and were eventually given a good offer by Limelight, 
and they satisfied several other criteria that were of concern 
to the powers here who made the final decision. So we ended up 
with them - so far, so good, from what I've heard
