akamai yesterday - what in the world was that

The wheels of bureaucracy are certainly a problem. The largest peer on 
our local exchange couldn't even get Akamai to complete a peering turn 
up because whoever was working on the ticket on the Akamai side got 
stuck on trying to set up the wrong location. And then months pass, it 
never got resolved, and then they decided to pull the cache. Akamai had 
one hand failing to set up new peers and the other hand saying why 
aren't there more peers, and the two hands never know what the other is 
doing.
