The Net (According To Akamai)

The Installer quotes a gizmag story saying "Akamai might not be a household name but between 15 to 30 percent of the world's Web traffic is carried on the Cambridge, Massachusetts-based company's internet platform at any given time. Using data gathered by software constantly monitoring internet conditions via the company's nearly 100,000 servers deployed in 72 countries and spanning most of the networks within the internet, Akamai creates its quarterly State of the internet report. The report provides some interesting facts and figures, such as regions with the slowest and fastest connection speeds, broadband adoption rates and the origins of attack traffic."

Most people here also weren't born when Admiral Ackbar muttered his famous, "It's a Trap!" line in Return of the Jedi, either, but that doesn't stop them from turning it into the Greatest Internet Meme Ever! ;-)
