Deutsche Telekom Enters CDN Market, Partnering with Edgecast

Dan Rayburn submits:

This morning, Deutsche Telekom (DT) announced that it would enter the content delivery market by reselling the content delivery services of EdgeCast. For months, the two companies have been quietly working to put the solution in place and Deutsche Telekom is already actively selling the service, and launching it with customers, primarily focusing on the European market.

Deutsche Telekom is now the fifth telco to have entered the content delivery market in the past 18 months. Reliance Globalcom is reselling Internap (INAP), Tata Communications (TCL) licensed BitGravity, Level 3 (LVLT) acquired the CDN assets of SAVVIS and AT&T (T) is building out its own CDN from scratch. It’s interesting to note that of the five companies, four of them have taken completely different approaches to enter the market.
