Poor Al-Jazeera , it seems Akamai won't help them handle their loading and denial-of-service issues.

Although apparently Akamai was polite and advised them about what was going on, they declined to help.

Akamai was co-founded by September 11th victim Danny Lewin, and Lewin was a professor at MIT's Laboratory for Computer Science in their algorithms group.
