Akamai has no "users".  So not really sure what you mean by that.

There are a /lot/ of hostnames on *.akamai.net.  That may have something to do with the 1000s of companies that use Akamai to deliver approximately 20% of all the traffic going down broadband modems.  Which fits nicely in your DNS lookup percentage.
