Time to buy Akamai?

Shares of Akamai (NASDAQ:AKAM) rose this week after the company reported a 73% increase in third-quarter profits. Akamai delivers digital media for the likes of Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), XM (NASDAQ:XMSR), and Google's (NASDAQ:GOOG) YouTube. Will Akamai continue to deliver for investors, or is rival Limelight (NASDAQ:LLNW) the better bet? In this installment of "Fool Video," I ask Motley Fool senior analyst Rick Munarriz.
