We're only three weeks away from the Content Delivery Summit, taking place May 9th in conjunction with the Streaming Media East show, and I'm pleased to announce that Barry Tishgart, VP of Comcast Cable will be the second keynote speaker at the event. As everyone knows, Comcast plays a major role in video distribution and Barry's presentation will take a look at the market from varying perspectives – as an ISP, content provider and CDN operator.
