" summary

EdgeCast explains how the CDN focuses on practical fixes: building an end‑to‑end delivery platform around a core HTTP cache/proxy engine, absorbing Verizon investments to speed rollout after being joined Verizon Digital Media Services (600 people), and shipping infrastructure growth — already 20 new POPs this year. The team balances functionality, performance and reliability, fights cruft by simplifying legacy fixes, and plugs gaps (including live video via Uplink) so customers don’t manage the web‑performance complexity.
