Speaking at Capacity Asia 2014 in Bangkok this morning, Okamoto said that US regulation is starting to adopt a more hands-off approach.
“Regulation is lessening and creating more competition, which is a great thing given the small space and very specialised industry where everybody knows everybody. I love to see new entrants in the market. Innovation is great and we can all learn from each other,” said Okamoto.
Okamoto's comments formed part of this morning's quick-fire presentations, which also included a speech from Remi Lang, economic affairs officer at ESCAP, focussing on improving pan-regional connectivity.
In June this year, Verizon EdgeCast CDN announced the addition of 20 PoPs across the globe.
