To illustrate his point, Kenny said that a few years ago, Akamai was relaying content at six gigabytes per second, which he said was "not quite enough to make the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show work quite right" – online, anyway.
Since then, he said Akamai's backbone has grown "3,000 times," and it's continuing to grow.
Right now, for example, Akamai could distribute the "entire content of the Library of Congress in 45-seconds." By next year, he said that transmission time will have been reduced to "20- to 25-seconds."
