I=B9m pretty sure I didn=B9t say specifically that DT and China Telecom wer=
e
options. I probably pointed out the lack of delivery problems prior to
using delivery partners like Cogent (such as via Akamai or Limelight) and
that delivery alternatives existed. But that=B9s in the past - we=B9re in a
pretty good spot w/Netflix traffic right now, though we continue to add
capacity as you=B9d expect.
