According to Erik Gabler, Vice President of Business Development at Limelight, "There is a large and growing demand in Europe for the Internet distribution of video, music, games and downloads enabled by our high-bandwidth content delivery network. Our current CDN expansion into Europe is going extremely well. To support demand we have tuned up 10 Gig connections at both the London Internet Exchange (LINX) and the Amsterdam Internet Exchange (AMS-IX).
