What does this mean? That Akamai commonly provide free services to high profile, high traffic sites that need their levels of throughput? Or..?

It really just means Akamai's expensive and you should find someone else to do CDN stuff. :)
VPS.net resells Akamai at shockingly low prices.
Their Wiki says it's Highwinds: http://www.vps.net/wiki/cdn-more-info
VPS.net sells both highwinds and Akamai. Akamai is $100 for 1 TB. However, they only offer origin pull, so performance will be slightly degraded versus using their NetStorage.
