Dan Rayburn, Executive Vice President, StreamingMedia.com spoke with Beet.TV about the inevitable shakeout of the CDN Industry in this Streaming Media East interview, Beet.TV: There Will Be Blood: Shakeout Inevitable in Crowded CDN Industry, Dan Rayburn.Rayburn has been running the conference the last 5 years of it's 11 year history. When the show started in 2002, Streamingmedia.com focused on the enterprise market and business of video delivery but in the last few years it has opened up to content creators and producers. He says people are talking about business within the larger video ecosystem. He told Andy Plesser he's been hearing a lot about syndication and how best to target and monetize it.
"It's another bubble that will burst. The number of companies and entering the content delivery network space is not sustainable, says Dan Rayburn, director of Streaming Media and an authority on the content delivery network business. According to Dan's reckoning, some $282 million in venture funding has been raised over the past 12 months for CDN players in an industry that has total revenue of $410 million in the U.S. He says a dramatic consolidation is inevitable within the next 18 months." - Beet.TV

The session will also cover some of the variables that determine the final price and how you should accurately compare the delivery services of one CDN to another, and it will give you a list of providers in the market today." - Streaming Media East Conference Program
