Akamai Sues Limelight Networks
<http://gigaom.com/2006/07/11/akamai-sues-limelight-networks/>
	In the words of Yogi Berra, its like déjà vu all over again. Back in  
the first Internet bubble, we were all entertained and amused by  
legal wranglings of various content delivery networks. For a while it  
was all quiet, but the fireworks are starting again. Limelight  
Networks, a Tempe, AZ.-based start-up that is quite the buzz amongst  
digital content players has been sued by old dog, Akamai Technologies  
and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for patent infringements.

	Chief executives of both companies, Paul Sagan Akamai and Bill  
Rinehart of Limelight have been contacted and we are waiting to hear  
from them about these lawsuits. Nevertheless, court documents show  
that, the lawsuit was filed in the US District Court in the State of  
Massachusetts in late June 2006. MIT and Akamai allege that Limelight  
is infringing on Patent # 6,108,703 and patent # 6,553,413. Both  
patents were issued to MIT and are licensed exclusively to Akamai.
