[e2e] Google Web Accelerator ....

[Amr A. Awadallah]

Very interested to hear what folks think about this product from Google. 
As the network becomes faster, and most web servers support compression, 
is there still value in doing this ? I mean, there is Akamai for 
embedded objects, etc, but do we need it for the html pages too ?
