NBA Competing on Global Delivery with Akamai OS Streaming

I just watched a video about Akamai Technologies and what they do. I find it amazing that thanks to technology, you can live across the world and still get updates on media. You do not have to wait the next day to find out who won the basketball game you, can view the game straight from the internet no matter how far away you are or what time zone your in. Akamai partnered with NBA to globally stream videos to customers thought-out the world. The NBA is not televised in 212 nations in 42 languages. Akamai Technologies has servers in 70 counties and means smart or intelligent in Hawaiian. It is amazing that the world is so big however at the same time it is so small thanks to technology. I could be in China and watch an NBA game and feel as if I was in the United States.
