Interview with John Edwards, President & CEO Move Networks
Recently I spoke to John Edwards, President and CEO of Move Networks. We spoke about a variety of topics including the companies business focus, why he considers their delivery network superior to tradition open networks, why the company is not a tradition CDN or P2P company, but a vertical in the end too end content delivery space, plus other topics.
Some of the areas that might be of concern for the future in their space, include:
Since they use adaptive rate technology - Microsoft may want to bake it into their own platform at some point, which could offset the deal with Silverlight.
As I understand, analytics is a big draw for media brands who want easy to use, shrink-wrapped platforms, these technologies may not be IP protected and could be replicated by other players. Of course first mover advantage usually is a plus so these may offset.
