Dear Valued Customer,

Akamai is very excited to announce that on March 13, 2007 we completed our acquisition of Netli, a California-based global service provider for accelerating applications over the Internet.

We believe that the acquisition of Netli will enhance Akamai's application acceleration solutions, which improve the performance of Web- and other Internet-based applications. By combining Netli's high performance communications protocol with Akamai's worldwide network of servers and unique capabilities to route Internet traffic around points of congestion, Akamai expects to offer businesses the most comprehensive and effective managed services for accelerating applications.

We believe the majority of today's successful enterprises doing business online require both content and application acceleration. With our acquisition of Netli now complete, we expect to add further functionality and value to our leading managed services offerings, enabling enterprises to improve application performance while reducing cost and complexity often associated with hardware alternatives.

We are delighted to start working with a talented group of new employees, and to add leading technology and a great set of new customers to our global network.

While we'll be working on integration plans over the coming months, we remain committed as ever to the success of your business, and look forward to sharing with you the benefits of our combined offerings. Should you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact your Akamai account manager or sales representative.

Sincerely,

Paul Sagan
President and CEO, Akamai Technologies
