Ericsson is the latest CDN network provider to have developed a partnership with a telco. They will be deploying their Media Delivery Network solution with Telstra, one of Australia’s most 
popular telecom providers. This means that Telstra will be the first telco in the world to deploy the Ericsson CDN network.
