Verizon Wireless, Carl Eberling, Vice President of IT, Verizon Wireless

"Verizon Wireless owns and operates one of the largest wireless telecommunications network in the United States for both voice and data."

"Our V CAST service was developed in 2004 for streaming of video and music. With V CAST, customers can watch the latest news, sports and celebrity interviews, directly from their handsets."

"We planned a huge launch of the new service to coincide with the Superbowl, and needed to feel confident that our web site could deliver a rich web experience and at the same time handle massive spikes in traffic."

"That's why we turned to Akamai -- their global platform helps us give customers the highest quality multimedia streaming, download-to-play, and viewing experience over mobile devices."
