Data Reporting
2012
January 25, 2013, Akamai recently released the latest development of the Internet report, data (collected by Akamai partially responsible partner Ericsson) display mobile data traffic generated in the third quarter of 2012 and second quarter, an increase of 16 %, compared to the same period in 2011 and more directly than doubled. And in the choice of mobile browser, if you are using a mobile network, then 37.6% of visits is done by Webkit browser on the Android platform, the mobile version of Safari accounted for 35.7%, Opera Mini share of less than 20%, BlackBerry and Windows platform is not more than 10%. But after removing the "use only the mobile network" restrictions (can be used in any manner networking), the mobile version of Safari will share jumped to a 60.1%, Android Webkit browser is down to 23.1% directly.

Akamai history
In 1995,
MIT
professor, Internet inventor
Tim Berners-Lee
launched the challenge created Akamai. The father of the World Wide Web at that time foresaw today's Internet users have become accustomed to the network congestion problem. So he challenged colleagues to invent a new method of distributing Internet content to address fundamentally. He may not have thought to make such an academic problem will eventually be born out of an innovative new Internet service.
In the next office of Dr. Berners-Lee, he is a professor of Applied Mathematics Tom Leighton, MIT. Berners-Lee, he was intrigued by the challenge. Tom Leighton was a famous professor of research in parallel algorithms and architectures. Since the beginning of 1996 MIT Laboratory for Computer Science Algorithms Group was established, he was a leader of the group. Dr. Leighton recognized that you can use applied mathematics and algorithms to solve the problem of network congestion. So he asked graduate Danny Lewin and several other top researchers to join him crack this problem.
In addition scientific data networks and several computer scientists Dr. Leighton and Lewin added to the ranks. They developed a mathematical algorithm to handle dynamic content routing arrangements, and ultimately solve the problem plagued Internet users. Later, MBA Sloan School of Management students Jonathan Seelig Leighton joined the ranks ever since they started their own business plans and ultimately founded Akamai.
Set up a company
These world-class scientists to develop a set of breakthrough algorithms for intelligent routing arrangements and copy the contents of a large network consisting of a network server, and does not rely on a central server now used by site owners.
In 1998, the famous R & D team to participate in the annual MIT $ 50K Entrepreneurship Competition, to be one hundred race teams in the top six. Akamai's content distribution business success shows that the Internet has huge market potential. Akamai authorized to use the intellectual resources of MIT, and from September 1998, became operational.
Late 1998 to early 1999, a rich Internet experience in business operations team of experts to join the founding team in the past. Most noteworthy is that Paul Sagan and George Conrades, Paul Sagan is a former president of Time Inc. New Media, is also provided cable modem services Road Runner one of the founders of the company, he helped create the NY 1 News.Paul Sagan became Akamai's COO, and eventually served as president of Akamai Technologies. George Conrades is the former CEO and Chairman of BBN, IBM vice president of US operations center, a few months later, he became Akamai Technologies' CEO.
Business Services
Through the joint efforts of these top computer scientists and experienced Internet professional managers set up Akamai, Akamai is committed to intelligent distributed through the Internet (CDN) end of the
"World Wide Wait" (wait for world together)
embarrassing situation. In 1999 the company began offering commercial services, network traffic and announced the world's largest Internet company
Yahoo!
to become their own contract customers.
