Nearly every major CDN or web host was involved with the inauguration
in some manner, with no reported issues to speak of.

Some "facilities-based" providers even placed infrastructure with
their competitors to be extra certain they could handle the traffic

With so many involved, and in the interests of full disclosure, do you
or Comcast have any fiscal interest in BitGravity's streaming of this
event? ;)
