AT&T Scales Up Its Content Delivery Ambitions

AT&T has been in the content delivery business, broadly speaking, for a long time. Even when one refers to the nerdy niche business of “content delivery networks,” AT&T has still been doing that for quite a while. But now the carrier is apparently getting serious. Ma Bell is announcing an initiative to greatly expand the services it offers in this area. AT&T is hoping to take on folks like Akamai and Limelight Networks by offering what it claims will be a combination of faster speeds and lower prices.
