Episode 11: Interview with Limelight’s CEO Bob Lyons on Their Acquisition of Edgecast, Plans to Rebrand as Edgio and Current State of The CDN Market

For this special edition of my podcast, I sit down with Limelight’s CEO, Bob Lyons, to discuss the details of their acquisition of Edgecast from Apollo Funds in an all-stock deal valued at approximately $300 million (1x Edgecast revenue) and rebranding the combined companies as Edgio. We also discuss the current state of the CDN market, including the competitive landscape, pricing trends, the expected mix of Limelight's revenue between CDN and security, and what Limelight’s product strategy looks like going forward. Note: The podcast was recorded the night before the news was announced, so any impact on Limelight's stock price on Monday, March 6th is not covered. The new website for the combined companies will be www.edg.ioPodcast produced by Security Halt Media
