I came to know recently that Google had plans to use services of Akamai. When agreement could not be reached on the pricing, Google came up with its own content delivery network. Now this acquisition. Puzzling.

I do not believe this to be factually correct. Unfortunately, just as this guy can't list his sources, I can't explain why I believe this to be factually incorrect (in the letter and spirit).

My source is one of my professors. He told this to the class while talking about CDN.
