<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B>Item&nbsp;9. Regulation&nbsp;FD
Disclosure</B></FONT>

<P><FONT size="2">In a press release issued on August&nbsp;22, 2002,
Akamai Technologies, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (&#147;Akamai&#148; or &#147;we&#148;), announced the following:
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">In an order dated August&nbsp;21, 2002, the Federal District Court in Boston
enjoined Cable &#038; Wireless Internet Services, Inc. from making, using, selling,
offering for sale, or importing into the United States, the patented inventions
of Claims 1, 3, 5, and 9 of Akamai&#146;s U.S. Patent No.&nbsp;6,108,703, and from active
inducement of infringement of these claims. The Court&#146;s Order enjoined Cable &#038;
Wireless&#146;s Footprint 2.0 service as configured and described at trial. That
service was recently rebranded under the Exodus name.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">Akamai intends to seek damages for the infringement of this patent. No
damages trial date has been set and there can be no certainty when, or if, such
trial will occur. If and when the Court schedules a damages trial, we expect
that each party will retain a damages expert and undertake detailed fact
discovery concerning the nature and amount of the damages. Given the
complexity of proving patent damages, it is not possible to predict the
outcome of any damages trial. Based on our preliminary and internal analysis
for the two-year period since the patent issued, we believe that we may seek to
prove a nine-figure damages amount.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">A copy of the press release issued by Akamai is included as Exhibit&nbsp;99.1 to
this Form&nbsp;8-K.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">This Form&nbsp;8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including our
expectations with respect to a damages trial and any damages we may seek to
prove. Actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these
forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors including,
but not limited to, the inability of Akamai to accurately assess potential
damages in the damages trial, the complexity of intellectual property matters
and our ability to protect our intellectual property rights and inventions from
third party challenges and other factors that are discussed in the Company&#146;s
Annual Report on Form&nbsp;10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form&nbsp;10-Q and other documents
periodically filed with the SEC.

AGAINST CABLE &#038; WIRELESS</B>
</FONT>

<P align="center"><FONT size="2"><B><I>Cable &#038; Wireless ordered to immediately and permanently shut down<BR>
Digital Island Footprint 2.0 service</I></B></FONT>

<P><FONT size="2"><B>CAMBRIDGE, Mass. &#150; August&nbsp;22, 2002 &#150; </B>Akamai Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AKAM)
today announced that the Federal District Court in Boston has enjoined Cable &#038;
Wireless Internet Services, Inc. from making, using, selling, offering for
sale, or importing into the United States, the patented inventions of Claims 1,
3, 5, and 9 of U.S. Patent No.&nbsp;6,108,703, and from active inducement of
infringement of these claims. The Court&#146;s Order requires Cable &#038; Wireless to
shut down Digital Island&#146;s Footprint 2.0 service as configured and described at
trial. That service was recently rebranded under the Exodus name.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&#147;This major victory vindicates our patent rights and the value of Akamai&#146;s
industry-leading technology,&#148; said George Conrades, chairman and CEO of Akamai.
&#147;We will now turn our attention to seeking full compensation from Cable &#038;
Wireless for the long-standing infringement of this patent.&#148;
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&#147;The injunction is very broad, and we do not believe that Cable &#038; Wireless&#146;s
post-trial attempts to design around these claims have succeeded,&#148; added David
Judson, Akamai&#146;s patent counsel. &#147;If Cable &#038; Wireless continues to operate its
infringing content delivery service, we will seek to hold them in contempt of
the Court&#146;s Order.&#148;
