MasterT:
For a few years I observed, that my connection to aliexpress does not reach china marketing monster itself, but getting 

14.|-- ae4.sentinel-ewr2.netarch.akamai.com                   0.0%    10   32.9  59.8  21.8 324.0  93.0
 15.|-- a23-10-91-241.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com     0.0%    10  144.5  72.6  20.5 157.9  62.0

as end point of communication.
Have no idea what akamai is it, and how price policy would be modified by unknown proxy-mafia.
Same issue apply to:
  768  mtr --report-wide --report-cycles 10 www.aliexpress.com > a_ali.txt
  769  mtr --report-wide --report-cycles 10 www.amazon.ca > a_amazon.txt
  770  mtr --report-wide --report-cycles 10 www.arrow.com > a_arrow.txt
  771  mtr --report-wide --report-cycles 10 www.digikey.ca > a_digikey.txt
  772  mtr --report-wide --report-cycles 10 www.ebay.ca > a_ebay.txt
  773  mtr --report-wide --report-cycles 10 www.mouser.ca > a_mouser.txt

So, the question is, how do you know that actually you are getting electronics components from authorize dealer like Mouser or Digikey?   
Is it country specific reality (Canada in this case) or world-wide scale scam?

So whats wrong with that? Even this forum I think uses some cloud for fast providing of cached content.

You know that it makes zero sense for a businesses selling electronic components to specialize on information technology architecture?

It's obvious such services are outsourced.

ISPs also outsource services.

A quick googling would reveal what Akamai Technologies Inc. does.

I'm too lazy to google. I want a print notice on the mouser / digikey / arrow web site about third party involvement into businesses. And their legal responsibility.
