"The Canadian Broadcast Corporation is Canada's national public broadcaster and the largest journalism organization in the country. In an ever changing media environment, our approach is to ensure that all of our content is available how, where, and when Canadians want it," explains Martin Delisle, Director, Production & Operations at CBC.

"With over one million pages, our Web site is considered a content distribution vehicle on equal footing with radio and TV. The CBC is producing more and more streaming content in order to reach engaged audiences everywhere. For example, during the 2007 NHL playoffs, we'll be streaming exclusive pre- and post-game coverage."

"We started our relationship with Akamai on 9/11. At the time, our existing infrastructure was not built to withstand the large volume of traffic we saw during this large-scale news event. By quickly leveraging Akamai’s services, we were back online within hours."
