"The Feature-Focused Up-and-Comer: EdgeCast. Many players could fit in this category…but EdgeCast has established itself as one key player that Yankee Group sees rising above the mist and differentiating itself in the marketplace. The reason for this is the company’s dedicated focus on additional features and services for content owners interested in a premium CDN. Learn more."

"EdgeCast emphasizes giving more usability and more control to the customer...Perhaps more important, EdgeCast has an experienced management team with financing, a good business plan and some of its own technology."

"EdgeCast's different take on CDN pricing: EdgeCast wants to mine a vein of frustration with existing CDNs over contract terms. The company is seeking to offer shorter-term contracts, while providing more options for how content gets delivered…EdgeCast claims to offer better performance from its 14 POPs compared to its competitors, but the main differentiating point in our mind is that EdgeCast promises to offer lower bandwidth prices as its own prices fall."
