Over the last month, the stock has plummeted to about $33 a share, wiping out over $3 billion in market capitalization.

It was able to charge a lot of money for delivering bits more reliably. Their dominant position meant that investors plowed a lot of money into their stock, pushing it to nosebleed levels. Akamai got priced for perfection, where even a slight burp could send the stock tumbling. That burp has come with the increase in the number of competitors, each one trying to cash in on the boom in online video and other digital content. Limelig...
