In an ideal world, they would not cave... but someone has to pay the giant bill. Who would chip in? The site must be constantly under attack, and it must cost Akamai a fortune in real $$ all year long. And, when their service is performing well, nobody is talking about it, so there must be very little positive PR. If someone is ready to foot a 620 Gbps bandwith bill all year long, I am pretty sure Akamai will be more than happy and able to scale up further. Too bad there is no always a cleaner/smarter solution than pure bandwidth and $$ to fight those attacks.
