    “The worst stab wound is the one to the heart. Sure, most people survive it, but the heart is never quite the same. There's always a scar. Which is meant, I guess, to remind you that - even for a little while - someone made your heart beat faster.”

    Augustus Hill, Oz (HBO Series)

    Posted by Yuval Shukroon on Wednesday, October 10, 2012 at 12PM

    As I started the 3rd and final year of a computer science program, I found myself alongside my classmates in a search for student positions in the development field – in order to gain the prized real-life work experience and learn as much as I can about the software industry.

    “There is something to be learned from a rainstorm. When meeting with a sudden shower, you try not to get wet and run quickly along the road. But doing such things as passing under the eaves of houses, you still get wet. When you are resolved from the beginning, you will not be perplexed, though you still get the same soaking. This understanding extends to everything. ”

    The video delivery value chain can resemble a symbiotic system comprised of Online Video Content Providers, Content Delivery Networks, Network Operators and Consumers. Content Providers need a reliable network infrastructure to deliver content to their customers, who in turn subscribe to and consume their services. A reliable network infrastructure is provided by leveraging the combined offerings of network operators and CDNs. Thus all four parties benefit from each other’s participation, a positive sum game.
