An article mentioned BAMTech's platform which is what NHL, MLB, and HBO GO are built on. The bits from the first two 
come from Akamai and Level3 CDNs. I haven't looked into where HBO Go comes from. 



Yep, they decided to buy BAMTech and build their own:

Anyone know what Disney is planning on doing for streaming content distribution once they leave Netflix? Would be nice 
if they'd provide an on-prem cache server.
