“Over this year, we’ve streamed a lot of major events across the globe including the 56th Grammy Awards, the Super Bowl and the Sochi 2014 Olympics. And we’ve been seeing a continuous increase in everything from traffic, usage and consumption,” says Nakul Srinivas, product marketing manager for media in Asia Pacific and Japan at Akamai.
“The World Cup is the largest live event that Akamai has helped to deliver so far. Our customers included 50 World Cup rights holders and 25 different broadcasters across 80 countries.”
