Akamai in Italy
Akamai is generally considered to be the largest CDN with edge servers in the most countries. However, the content delivery network company never publishes details about how many POPs they have in a country or where their CDN edge servers are located. The Akamai website has a public PDF with all countries where Akamai maintains Server Points of Presence and Italy is listed in that document, but specifics are not mentioned. It remains unknown how many POPs or edge servers Akamai has in Italy.
