 PART
I
  ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
 
 Overview
 
 We were
incorporated as a Washington corporation in 1996 and reincorporated in Delaware
in 2001. Our principal executive offices are located at 250 Williams Street,
Suite E-100, Atlanta, Georgia 30303, and our telephone number at that location
is (404) 302-9700. Our common stock trades on the NASDAQ Global Market under the
symbol “INAP.”
 
 We market
products and services that optimize the performance and reliability of strategic
business Internet applications for e-commerce, customer relationship management,
or CRM, multimedia streaming, Voice-over Internet-Protocol, or VoIP, virtual
private networks, or VPNs, and supply chain management. Our product and service
offerings are complemented by value-added services such as colocation and data
center services and managed security services. We also provide products and
services for storing and delivering audio and video digital media to large
audiences over the Internet through a subsidiary, VitalStream Holdings, Inc., or
VitalStream. Our content delivery network, or CDN, was purpose-built for
streaming digital media and enables content owners to monetize their digital
media assets via both subscription and advertising-based business models. Our
VitalStream subsidiary also offers: proprietary advertising selection and
advertising insertion capabilities, enabling customers to turn existing
streaming traffic into content packaged with advertising; Internet Protocol
Television, or IPTV; professional services; and small business services.
Additionally, we offer high levels of pre- and post- installation service and
consulting.
 
 As of
December 31, 2007, we delivered services through our 50 service points across
North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, which feature direct high-speed
connections to multiple major Internet backbones such as AT&T Inc., Sprint
Nextel Corporation, Verizon Communications Inc., Savvis, Inc., Global Crossing
Limited, Level 3 Communications, Inc., and Verio, an NTT Communications Company.
Our proprietary route optimization technology monitors the performance of
Internet networks allowing our customer traffic to be “intelligently” routed
over the optimal path in a way that maximizes performance and reliability of the
transactions by minimizing loss and delays inherent across the Internet. We
believe our unique managed multi-network approach provides better performance,
control and reliability compared to conventional Internet connectivity
alternatives. Our service level agreements, or SLAs, guarantee performance
across the entire Internet, excluding local connections, whereas providers of
conventional Internet connectivity typically only guarantee performance on their
own network. Internap serves customers in a variety of industries including
financial services, entertainment and media, travel, e-commerce, retail, and
technology. As of December 31, 2007, we provided our services
to approximately 3,800 customers in the United States and
abroad.

 Developments
in 2007
 
 VitalStream
Acquisition.On February 20, 2007, we completed our acquisition of
VitalStream pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated October 12,
2006. As a result, we issued approximately 12.2 million shares of common
stock to VitalStream stockholders, which represented approximately 25% of
our outstanding shares.  We also assumed outstanding options for the
purchase of shares of VitalStream common stock, which we converted into options
to purchase approximately 1.5 million shares of Internap common stock. 
VitalStream is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Internap.
 
 Restructuring
Liability. 
On March 31, 2007, we incurred a restructuring and impairment charge totaling
$10.3 million. The charge was the result of a review of our business,
particularly in light of our acquisition of VitalStream, and the finalization of
our overall integration and implementation plan during the  first
quarter. The charge to expense included $7.8 million for leased facilities,
representing both the net present value of costs less anticipated sublease
recoveries that will continue to be incurred without economic benefit to us and
costs to terminate leases before the end of their term. The charge also included
severance payments of $1.1 million for the termination of certain Internap
employees and $1.4 million for impairment of assets. Related expenditures are
estimated to be $10.7 million, of which $2.8 million has been paid during the
year ended December 31, 2007, and the balance continuing through December 2016,
the last date of the longest lease term. The impairment charge of $1.3 million
was related to the leases referenced above and less than $0.1 million for other
assets.
  We also
incurred a $1.1 million impairment recorded for a sales order-through-billing
system, which was a result of an evaluation of the existing infrastructure
relative to our new financial accounting system and the acquisition of
VitalStream.
  Write-Off
of Investment. In connection with the preparation of our quarterly report for the
quarter ended June 30, 2007, we wrote-off an investment, totaling $1.2 million,
representing the remaining carrying value of our investment in series D
preferred stock of Aventail Corporation, or Aventail. We made an initial cash
investment of $6.0 million in Aventail series D preferred stock pursuant to an
investment agreement in February 2000. In connection with a subsequent round of
financing by Aventail, we recognized an initial impairment loss on our
investment of $4.8 million in 2001. On June 12, 2007, SonicWall, Inc. announced
that it had entered into an agreement to acquire Aventail for approximately
$25.0 million in cash. The transaction closed on July 11, 2007, and all shares
of series D preferred stock were cancelled and the holders of series D preferred
stock did not receive any consideration for such
shares.  Consequently, we recorded a write-off of our investment in
Aventail to reduce our carrying value to $0.
  Rights Agreement.On March 15, 2007, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of one
preferred share purchase right, or a Right, for each outstanding share of common
stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company. The dividend was payable on
March 23, 2007 to the stockholders of record on that date. Each Right entitles
the registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share
of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share, or the
Preferred Shares, at a price of $100.00 per one one-thousandth of a Preferred
Share, subject to adjustment. The description and terms of the Rights are set
forth in a Rights Agreement between the Company and American Stock
Transfer & Trust Company, as Rights Agent dated April 11,
2007.
  Data Center
Expansion.On June 12, 2007, we announced that we approved an investment of up to
$40.0 million to fund the expansion of our data center facilities in several key
markets. We anticipate implementing the expansion over the next several calendar
quarters, with at least a portion of the funding to be provided under our credit
agreement, discussed below.  As of December 31, 2007, we have incurred
costs of less than $10.0 million pursuant to this expansion.
 
 5
 Credit Agreement.On September 14, 2007, we entered into a $35.0 million credit agreement.
We discuss this agreement in note 10 to the consolidated financial statements
and the section captioned “Liquidity and Capital Resources” under “Item 2.
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations.”
 
 Industry
Background
 
 The
emergence of multiple Internet networks
 
 The
Internet originated as a restricted network designed to provide efficient and
reliable long distance data communications among the disparate computer systems
used by government-funded researchers and organizations. As the Internet
evolved, businesses began to use the Internet for functions critical to their
core business and communications. Telecommunications companies established
additional networks to supplement the original public infrastructure and satisfy
increasing demand. Currently, the Internet is a global collection of multitudes
of interconnected computer networks, forming a network of networks. These
networks were developed at great expense but are nonetheless constrained by the
fundamental limitations of the Internet’s architecture. Each network must
connect to one another, or peer, to permit its users to communicate with each
other. Consequently, many Internet network service providers, or ISPs, have
agreed to exchange large volumes of data traffic through a limited number of
public network access points and a growing number of private connections called
peering.
 
 Peering
network access points are not centrally managed. We believe that no single
entity has the economic incentive or ability to facilitate problem resolution or
to optimize peering within the public network access points, nor the authority
to bring about centralized routing administration. Additionally, since these
arrangements are based on non-regulated agreements, disagreements between
carriers impact performance. As a consequence of the lack of coordination among
networks at these public peering points, and in order to avoid the increasing
congestion and the potential for resulting data loss at the public network
access points, a number of the ISPs have established private interfaces
connecting with their peers for the exchange of traffic. Although private
peering arrangements are helpful for exchanging traffic, they do not solve all
of the structural and economic shortcomings of the Internet.
 
 The
problem of inefficient routing of data traffic on the Internet
 
 An
individual ISP only controls the routing of data within its network, and its
routing practices tend to compound the inefficiencies of the Internet. When an
ISP receives a packet that is not destined for one of its own customers, it must
route that packet to another ISP to complete the delivery of the packet on the
Internet. Since the use of a public network access point or a private peering
point typically involves no economic settlement, an ISP will often route the
data to the nearest point of traffic exchange, in an effort to get the packet
off its network and onto a competitor’s network as quickly as possible to reduce
capacity and management burdens on its transport network. Once the origination
traffic leaves the network of an ISP, service level agreements with that ISP
typically do not apply since that carrier cannot control the quality of service
on another ISPs network. Consequently, in order to complete a communication,
data ordinarily passes through multiple networks and peering points without
consideration for congestion or other factors that inhibit performance. For
customers of conventional Internet connectivity providers, this transfer can
result in lost data, slower and more erratic transmission speeds, and an overall
lower quality of service, especially where the ISP is not familiar with the
performance of the destination network. Equally important, these customers have
no control over the transmission arrangements and have no single point of
contact that they can hold accountable for degradation in service levels, such
as poor data transmission performance, or service failures. As a result, it is
virtually impossible for a single ISP to offer a high quality of service across
disparate networks.
  6
  The
problem of poor application performance over distant network paths
 
 The major
protocols often utilized over data networks perform poorly when network latency
is large or network paths are subject to packet and data loss. Network latency
is a measure of the time it takes data to travel between two network points. In
networks, network latency often depends on physical distance but may also depend
on conditions such as congestion. One measure of performance is effective
throughput. Throughput is defined as the rate of data transfer, typically
expressed in bits per second or megabits per second, or Mbps. It can be limited
by the size of the network connection, for example, 1.5Mbps for a standard T1
data connection, or it can be limited by the protocols reacting to certain
network conditions such as latency or packet loss. Typically, throughput is
inversely proportional to network latency. Network latency is a significant
factor when communicating over vast distances such as the global network paths
between two continents. The more distant the communicating parties are from each
other, the higher the network latency will be resulting in lower effective
throughput. This throughput may be lower than the available network capacity and
often results in poor utilization of purchased network capacity. Additionally,
many network protocols react to packet loss by requesting a retransmission of
the missing data. This retransmission is often interpreted as intermediate
network congestion by the protocol that then responds with more conservative
network usage and a further reduction of effective throughput. As a result,
business applications that must communicate over the vast distances common in
the global economy are subject to these limitations, which result in poor
application performance and poor utilization of network assets. Network
conditions vary significantly in many parts of the developing world and may also
result in poor application performance. Yet the global economy is a factor in
many businesses operating in these parts of the developing world where distances
are vast and network conditions are poor.
 
 The
growing importance of the Internet for business-critical Internet-based
applications
 
 Once
primarily used for e-mail and basic information retrieval, the Internet is now
used as a communications platform for an increasing number of business-critical
Internet-based applications, such as those relating to electronic commerce,
VoIP, supply chain management, customer relationship management, project
coordination, streaming media, and video conferencing and
collaboration.
 
 Businesses
are unable to benefit from the full potential of the Internet primarily because
of performance issues discussed above. The emergence of technologies and
applications that rely on network quality and require consistent, high-speed
data transfer, such as VoIP, multimedia document distribution and streaming, and
audio and video conferencing and collaboration, are hindered by inconsistent
performance. We believe that providers who provide a consistently high quality
of service that enables businesses to successfully and cost effectively execute
their business-critical Internet-based applications over the public network
infrastructure through superior performance Internet routing services will drive
the market for Internet services.
 
 The
growing demand for delivery of rich media content over the Internet
 
 The
proliferation of Internet-connected devices and broadband Internet connections
coupled with increased consumption of media over the Internet including
personalized media content have created a demand for delivery of rich media
content. Increasingly, as the volume and quality of dynamic content progresses,
viewers of all ages are spending more and more time using the
Internet.  Viewers now expect to be able to watch a movie or
television show online, view the latest news clips, take a virtual walk-through
of a home, hear a podcast, watch a live sporting event or concert, or
participate in an educational course just to name a few
examples.  Companies that need to deliver rich media content can
either deliver the content using basic Internet connectivity or utilize a
content distribution network, or CDN.  Because of the inherit
weaknesses of the Internet, delivery of rich media content is not
reliable.  To overcome this problem, companies can either invest
substantial capital to build the infrastructure to bypass the public Internet or
utilize a third party’s CDN.
  Our
Market Opportunity
 
 Historically,
network service providers, or NSPs, have maintained at-will agreements to
deliver Internet traffic on a “best efforts” basis without guaranteeing various
levels of quality of service. This best efforts delivery is sub-optimal for
time-sensitive and real-time applications that require uninterrupted streams of
data such as voice and video. For companies that rely on the Internet as a
medium for commerce or relationship management, this unpredictable performance
often translates into lost revenue, decreased productivity and dissatisfied
customers.
  7
  The
Internet serves as a core component of many direct sales, supply chain and
collaboration strategies and has extended our customers’ ability to reach global
partners, suppliers and customers. This changing landscape, combined with an
increasingly dispersed workforce and the adoption of emerging technologies like
VoIP and streaming media, has increased the need for fast, reliable connectivity
and delivery of content rich media. We believe Internap meets this requirement
and is well positioned to help businesses leverage the Internet to attain
improved productivity, decreased transactional costs and new revenue
streams.
 
 Services
and Technology
 
 We offer
the following managed services and premise-based products:
 
 High Performance Internet
Protocol, or IP
 
 Our
managed intelligent routing service provides fast, reliable connectivity to all
major backbones and dynamically identifies the optimal path for our customers’
traffic. The service is also supported by industry leading service level
agreements with 100 percent network availability, excluding local connections.
Our team of certified network engineers supports our customers 24 hours a day,
every day of the year. We charge for these services based on a fixed-fee, usage
or a combination of both fixed fee and usage basis.
 
 Data Center Services
 
 We
operate data centers where customers can host their applications directly on our
network to eliminate issues associated with the quality of local connections.
Data center services also enable us to have a more flexible product offering,
such as bundling our high performance IP connectivity and managed services such
as content delivery along with hosting customers’ applications. We charge
monthly fees for data center services based on the amount of square footage that
the customer leases in our facilities. We also have relationships with various
providers to extend our Private Network Access Point, or P-NAP, model into
markets with high demand.
  Our data center services allow us to expand the reach of our high
performance IP services to customers who wish to take advantage of locating
their network and application assets in secure, high performance facilities. To
maximize this footprint, we use a combination of facilities owned by third
parties and facilities we own to our best strategic and financial advantage. We
also leverage this unique product combination position to create a
differentiated offering that has proven to be competitive.
 
 Flow Control Platform, or
FCP
 
 Our FCP
is a premise-based intelligent routing hardware product for customers who
run their own multiple network architectures, known as multi-homing. The
prevalence of multi-homed networks is increasing. To operate each network at the
highest performance level, a significant amount of expertise is required to
monitor and adjust to global Internet routing, which is very dynamic in nature.
The FCP functions similarly to our P-NAP, monitoring the global Internet and
automatically adjusting routing real-time to balance the traffic across multiple
links to optimize performance. FCP can be tuned to manage network traffic on two
dimensions: cost and performance. The user can set thresholds that balance
performance against cost, for example routing all traffic across low cost
providers while specific minimum performance thresholds are met. If the
performance deteriorates, then the traffic can be routed over a better
performing but more costly provider to maintain minimum specified performance.
This option allows the customer to enjoy service with the optimized performance
and economics. Another key feature is minute-by-minute visibility reports and
logs on the performance and operation of the customer’s network. Our customers
find this information to be very useful for carrier SLA verification, monitoring
and overall network management.

  FCP is
one of only a few of the industry’s route control appliances that analyzes and
re-routes Internet traffic flows in real-time. We offer FCP as either a one-time
hardware purchase or as a monthly subscription service. Sales of FCP also
generate annual maintenance fees and professional service fees for installation
and ongoing network configuration. Since the FCP emulates our P-NAP service in
many ways, this product affords us the opportunity to serve customers outside of
our P-NAP market footprint.
 
 Other Products &
Services
 
 To
complement our existing portfolio, we also offer managed Internet services via
third parties. These services include virtual private networking and managed
security services, including VeriSign, Inc. intrusion detection/prevention and
managed firewall services to more broadly support our clients’
Internet applications. These also include a continuation of Akamai Technologies,
Inc., or Akamai, CDN services through September 30, 2007.
 
 We offer
the following products and services based on our CDN:
  Next Generation Cluster
Architecture Content Delivery Network
  Our CDN
is designed to optimize delivery of streaming media content. The network
incorporates high performance equipment with unparalleled 10 Gigabit uplinks to
multiple tier-1 network providers and geographic diversity. The network is
comprised of multiple data centers containing distributed server clusters. This
multi-homed network helps minimize exposure at congested peers. Our close
proximity to other backbone providers ensures we can quickly add bandwidth when
needed. Distributed clustering technology for streaming and hosting services
allows us to scale the network based on customer demand.
  Our
network is protected by advanced security systems, including firewalls, proxies
and private networking to protect critical systems from intruders. We
continuously monitor for security vulnerabilities and malicious activity and
employ a staff of security experts to respond to security-related incidents.
Additionally, we provide various encryption and digital rights management
services that allow our customers to protect their content on our
network.
  Streaming Service for
Flash
  We worked
hand-in-hand with Adobe, which was formerly known as Macromedia, to develop a
Flash streaming platform, and are an experienced Flash video streaming service
provider. This method of delivering video on demand is reliable, interactive and
easy to use, giving our customers the opportunity to utilize their existing
Flash development environment, and streamlining their workflow. Our Flash video
streaming service permits our customers to upload files to our streaming network
without having to set up and maintain video servers.
  As an
Adobe Flash Video Streaming Service provider, we can support Flash 8 and Flash
Media Server 2.0. The new video features found in the Flash Platform with the
announcement of Flash Player 8 offer enhanced capabilities for interactive
video, enabling our customers to deliver high-quality video at the smallest file
sizes while ensuring faster and smoother video playback. These enhancements
significantly improve the overall viewing experience of streaming
video.
  Streaming Service for
Windows Media
  Our
streaming service for windows media is ideal for businesses seeking to
distribute or sell their high-quality video online with maximum control of their
content. Windows Media is a flexible platform that enables content providers to
protect and deliver live events, corporate presentations, news, sports, music,
entertainment events, or movies with the confidence that digital media files
will stay protected, no matter how they are distributed. We have been a
Microsoft Premier Certified Hosting Service provider since October
2002.
  Content Delivery
Service
  Our
streaming customers often need to utilize download services as part of their
business solution. In response to this customer demand, we provide file download
services to enable our customers to download critical content including HTML,
graphics, media files, software, and podcasts to their customers.
  9
  Professional
Services
  This
division assists our customers in building the unique solutions required for
their specialized business models. Through internal and external resources,
these services design, build and deploy custom solutions, such as video players,
graphical userinterfaces, or GUIs, advertising components, control
panels for content management and reporting, authentication web services, and
Flash Communication Server applications. These solutions are fully integrated
into our CDN. We also architect, design, build, and deploy web applications that
feature video or audio streaming and interface with existing customer systems.
Fees for these services vary by project.
  Authentication
  Our
authentication service provides token-based authentication services. This
service protects and delivers customers’ offerings by allowing only authorized
viewers to access content, which enables customers to take greater advantage of
the Internet as a reliable and cost-effective distribution channel.
  Managed
Servers
  Our
managed servers are an outsourced hosting service for our customers. We provide
server hardware, bandwidth and continuous system administration, including
server and network monitoring, reporting, ongoing maintenance, security, and
backup. We charge a fixed monthly fee for standard hosting
services.
  Advertising
  Internap
advertising services provides customers with a one-stop solution for delivering
integrated streaming and digital advertising content on the Internet. The
solution inserts in-stream advertisements into “live” and “on-demand” Internet
streaming broadcasts to target specific listener demographics, enabling
advertisers to reach the most engaged opt-in audio and video audiences with a
seamless, in-stream advertising experience. Campaign management and advertising
results reporting complete the comprehensive solution.
  Network
Access Points, Points of Presence and Data Centers
 
 We
provide our services through our network access points across North America, and
in Europe, Asia, and Australia. Our network access points and data centers
feature direct high speed connections to multiple major ISPs, including AT&T
Inc., Sprint Nextel Corporation, Verizon Communications Inc., Savvis, Inc.,
Global Crossing Limited, Level 3 Communications, and Verio, an NTT
Communications Company, as well as Internet Initiative Japan, Inc. and KDDI
Corp. in Asia. Through our CDN points of presence, or POPs, we provide access to
the Internet for our CDN customers. As of December 31, 2007, we provided
services worldwide through 50 IP service points, 42 data center locations and 12
POPs. We directly operate eight of these sites and have operating agreements
with third parties for the remaining locations in the following
markets:

  We are
dependent upon the ISPs noted above as well as other ISPs, telecommunications
carriers and other vendors in the United States, Europe and the Asia-Pacific
region, some of whom have experienced significant system failures and electrical
outages in the past. Users of our services may experience difficulties due to
system failures unrelated to our systems and services. If for any reason, our
vendors and providers fail to provide the required services, our business,
consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be
materially adversely impacted.
 
 Segments
 
 As
discussed in note 5 to the consolidated financial statements included in
this annual report on Form 10-K, we operate in three business segments: IP
services, data center services and CDN services.
 
 The
following is a brief description of each of our reportable business
segments.
 
 IP
Services
  Our
patented and patent-pending network performance optimization technologies
address the inherent weaknesses of the Internet, allowing enterprises to take
advantage of the convenience, flexibility and reach of the Internet to connect
to customers, suppliers and partners. Our solutions take into account the unique
performance requirements of each business application to ensure performance as
designed, without unnecessary cost. Prior to recommending appropriate network
solutions for our customers’ applications, we consider key performance
objectives including (1) performance and cost optimization, (2) application
control and speed and (3) delivery and reach. Our charges for IP services are
based on a fixed-fee, usage or a combination of both fixed fee and
usage.
  Our IP
services segment also includes our flow control platform, or FCP. The FCP
provides network performance management and monitoring for companies with
multi-homed networks and redundant Internet connections.  The FCP
proactively reviews customer networks for the best performing route or the most
cost-effective and routes according to our customers’ requirements.  We
offer FCP as either a one-time hardware purchase or as a monthly subscription
service. Sales of FCP also generate annual maintenance fees and professional
service fees for installation and ongoing network configuration. Since the FCP
emulates our private network access points, or P-NAP, service in many ways, this
product affords us the opportunity to serve customers outside of our P-NAP
market footprint. This product represents approximately 4% of our IP services
revenue and approximately 2% of our consolidated revenue for the year ended
December 31, 2007.
  Data
Center Services
  Our data
center services provide a single source for network infrastructure, IP and
security, all of which are designed to maximize solution performance while
providing a more stable, dependable infrastructure, and are backed by guaranteed
service levels and our team of dedicated support professionals. We offer a
comprehensive solution at 42 service points, including eight locations managed
by us and 34 locations managed by third parties.
 
 Data
center services also enable us to have a more flexible product offering,
including bundling our high performance IP connectivity and managed services,
such as content delivery, along with hosting customers' applications. We charge
monthly fees for data center services based on the amount of square footage that
the customer leases in our facilities. We also have relationships with various
providers to extend our P-NAP model into markets with high demand.
 
 CDN
Services
  Our CDN
services enable our customers to quickly and securely stream and distribute
video, audio, advertising, and software to audiences across the globe through
strategically located data centers. Providing capacity-on-demand to handle large
events and unanticipated traffic spikes, content is delivered with high quality
regardless of audience size or geographic location. Our MediaConsole® content
management tool provides our customers the benefit of a single, easy to navigate
system featuring Media Asset Management, Digital Rights Management, or DRM,
support, and detailed reporting tools. With MediaConsole, our customers can use
one application to manage and control access to their digital assets, deliver
advertising campaigns, view network conditions, and gain insight into habits of
their viewing audience.
  11
  Our CDN
and monetization services provide a complete turnkey solution for the
monetization of online media. These multi-faceted “live” and “on-demand”
advertising insertion and advertising placement solutions include a full
campaign management suite, inventory prediction tools, audience research and
metrics, and extensive reporting features to effectively track advertising
campaigns in real-time. Online advertising solutions enable our customers to
offset the costs associated with the creation, transformation, licensing, and
management of online content. Prior to our acquisition of VitalStream on
February 20, 2007, we did not offer proprietary CDN services, but instead, we
were a reseller of third party CDN services for which the results of
operations are included in Other revenues and direct costs of network, sales and
services, discussed below.
  Other
  Other
revenues and direct costs of network, sales and services include our
non-segmented results of operations, including certain reseller and
miscellaneous services such as third party CDN services, termination fee
revenue, other hardware sales, and consulting services.
 
 Financial
Information about Geographic Areas
 
 For each
of the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, less than 10% of our total
revenues was derived from our operations outside the United States.
 
 Sales
and Marketing
 
 Our sales
and marketing objective is to achieve market penetration and increase brand
recognition among business customers in key industries that use the Internet for
strategic and business-critical operations. We employ a direct sales team with
extensive and relevant sales experience with our target market. Our sales
offices are located in key cities across North America, as well as one office
each in the United Kingdom and Singapore.
 
 Our sales
and service organization includes 116 employees in direct and channel sales,
professional services, account management, and technical
consulting.  As of December 31, 2007, we had approximately 45 direct
sales representatives whose performance is measured on the basis of achievement
of quota objectives.
 
 To
support our sales efforts and promote the Internap brand, we conduct
comprehensive marketing programs.  Our marketing strategies include
on-line advertisements, participation at trade shows, an active public relations
campaign, and continuing customer communications.  As of December 31,
2007, we had seven employees in our marketing department.
 
 Research
and Development
 
 Product
development costs are primarily related to network engineering costs associated
with changes to the functionality of our proprietary services and network
architecture. Such costs that do not qualify for capitalization as software
development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs,
which are included in product development cost and are expensed as incurred,
primarily consist of compensation related to our development
and enhancement of IProuting technology, progressive download and
streaming technology for our CDN, and acceleration technologies. Research and
development costs were $3.1 million, $2.4 million and $2.9 million for the years
ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. These costs do not
include $1.6 million and $0.9 million in internal software development costs
capitalized during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. We
did not capitalize any software development costs during the year ended December
31, 2005.
 
 12
  Customers
 
 As of
December 31, 2007, we had approximately 3,800 customers. We provide
services to customers in multiple vertical industry segments including financial
services, media and communications, travel, e-commerce and retail, and
technology. However, our customer base is not concentrated in any particular
industry. In each of the past three fiscal years, no single customer has
accounted for 10 percent or more of our net sales. No significant amounts of
revenue for any of the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 were derived
from contracts or subcontracts terminable or renegotiation at the election of
the federal government, and we do not expect such contracts to be a significant
percentage of our total revenue in 2008.
 
 Competition
 
 The
market for managed services, premise-based products and content delivery is
intensely competitive and is characterized by technological change, the
introduction of new products and services, and price erosion. We believe that
the principal factors of competition for service providers in our target markets
include: speed and reliability of connectivity, quality of facilities, level of
customer service and technical support, price, and brand recognition. We believe
that we compete favorably on the basis of these factors.
 
 Our
current and potential competition primarily consists of:
  ·
              network
      service providers that provide connectivity services, including AT&T
      Inc., Sprint Nextel Corporation, Verizon Communications Inc., Level 3
      Communications, Inc., Global Crossing Limited, and Verio, an NTT
      Communications Company.;·
              regional
      Bell operating companies that offer Internet access and managed
      services;·
              global,
      national and regional ISPs such as Orange Business Services (formerly
      Equant), BT Infonet and Savvis, Inc.;·
              providers
      of specific applications or solutions, such as content delivery, security
      or storage such as Akamai Technologies, Inc., Limelight Networks, Inc.,
      Mirror Image Internet, Inc., Symantec Corporation, Network Appliance,
      Inc., and Virtela Communications, Inc.;·
              software-based,
      Internet infrastructure companies focused on IP route control and wide
      area network optimization products such as Riverbed Technology, Inc., F5
      Networks, Inc. and Radware Ltd.; and·
              colocation
      and data center providers, including Equinix, Inc., Terremark Worldwide,
      Inc., Navisite, Inc., 365 Main Inc., Savvis, Inc., and Neon Communications
      Group, Inc., formerly known as The Globix
  Corporation.
  Competition
has resulted, and will continue to result, in declining prices for our
services.
  Many of
our competitors have longer operating histories and presence in key markets,
greater name recognition, larger customer bases and significantly greater
financial, sales and marketing, distribution, technical, and other resources
than we have. As a result, these competitors may be able to adapt more quickly
to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements or to
devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of their products. In all of
our target markets, we also may face competition from newly established
competitors, suppliers of products or services based on new or emerging
technologies, and customers that choose to develop their own network solutions.
We also may encounter further consolidation in the markets in which we compete.
In addition, competitors may develop technologies that more effectively address
our markets with services that offer enhanced features or lower costs. Increased
competition could result in pricing pressures, decreased gross margins and loss
of market share, which may materially and adversely affect our business,
consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows.
  13
  See “Risk Factors--We may not be able to compete successfully
against current and future competitors” below.
  Intellectual
Property
 
 We rely
on a combination of copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, and other
intellectual property law, nondisclosure agreements, and other protective
measures to protect our proprietary rights. We also utilize unpatented
proprietary know-how and trade secrets and employ various methods to protect
such intellectual property. As of December 31, 2007, we have five patents that
extend to various dates between approximately 2019 and 2026, and eight
registered trademarks.  Taken as a whole, we believe our intellectual
property rights are significant and that the loss of all or a substantial
portion of such rights could have a material adverse effect on our results of
operations. We can offer no assurancesthat our intellectual
property protection measures will be sufficient to prevent misappropriation of
our technology. In addition, the laws of many foreign countries do not protect
our intellectual properties to the same extent as the laws of the United States.
From time to time, third parties have or may assert infringement claims against
us or against our customers in connection with their use of our products or
services. In addition, we may desire or be required to renew or to obtain
licenses from others in order to further develop and market commercially viable
products or services effectively. We can offer no assurances that any necessary
licenses will be available on reasonable terms.
 
 Employees
 
 As of
December 31, 2007, we had approximately 420 full-time employees. None of our
employees are represented by a labor union, and we have not experienced any work
stoppages to date. We consider the relationships with our employees to be good.
Competition for technical personnel in the industry in which we compete is
intense. We believe that our future success depends in part on our continued
ability to hire, assimilate and retain qualified personnel. To date, we believe
that we have been successful in recruiting and retaining qualified employees,
but we can offer no assurances that we will continue to be successful in the
future.
 
 Other
Matters
 
 While we
are dependent upon our proprietary technology and vendors, including ISPs,
telecommunications carriers and others, we are not dependent upon raw materials.
Our business is generally not seasonal.  We do not have significant
backlog orders, nor do we have any practices relating to required working
capital items.

  ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
 
 You
should carefully consider the risks described below. These risks are not the
only ones that we may face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are
unaware of, or that we currently deem immaterial, also may become important
factors that affect us. If any of the following risks occurs, our business,consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash
flows could be materially and adversely affected.
  14
  Risks Related to Our Business
 
 We
have a history of losses and may not sustain profitability.
  We
incurred net losses in each quarterly and annual period since we began
operations in May 1996 through the year ended December 31, 2005. For the
years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, we recognized net loss of$5.6 million, net income of $3.7 million and net loss of $5.0 million,
respectively. As of December 31, 2007, our accumulated deficit was
$862.0 million. Considering the competitive and evolving nature of the
industry in which we operate, we may not be able to achieve or sustain
profitability on a quarterly or annual basis, and our failure to do so could
materially and adversely affect our business, including our ability to raise
additional funds.
  Our
operations have historically been cash flow negative, and we have depended on
equity and debt financings to meet our cash requirements, which may not be
available to us in the future on favorable terms.
  Historically,
we have experienced negative operating cash flows and have depended upon equity
and debt financings, as well as borrowings under our credit facilities, to meet
our cash requirements in most quarterly and annual periods since we began our
operations in May 1996. We expect to meet our cash requirements for 2008 through
a combination of cash flows from operations, existing cash, cash equivalents and
investments in marketable securities, and borrowings under our credit
facilities. Our capital requirements depend on several factors, including the
rate of market acceptance of our services, the ability to expand and retain our
customer base and other factors. If our cash requirements vary materially from
those currently planned, if our cost reduction initiatives are unsuccessful or
have unanticipated adverse effects on our business or if we fail to generate
sufficient cash flows from the sales of our services, we may require additional
financing sooner than anticipated. We can offer no assurances that we will be
able to obtain additional financing on commercially favorable terms, or at all.
In addition, provisions in our credit agreement limit our ability to incur
additional indebtedness.  Our business could be materially and
adversely affected by our failure to obtain such funding.  We might
also be required to take other actions that could lessen the value of our stock
in order to obtain such funding, such as issuing securities with greater rights
than our common stock or borrowing money on terms that are not favorable to
us.
  We
have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial
reporting that may prevent us from accurately reporting our financial results in
a timely manner.
  We must
maintain effective internal controls in order to provide reliable and accurate
financial reports and prevent fraud. In addition, Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires that we assess the design and operating
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. In
connection with our evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, we
identified a material weakness related to effective controls over the analysis
of requests for sales credits and billing adjustments to provide timely
information for management to assess the completeness, accuracy, valuation
and disclosure of sales adjustments. We may also discover additional areas
of our internal controls that need improvement. We discuss our efforts regarding
internal controls in detail in this report under Item 9A, “Controls and
Procedures.” We cannot be certain that any remedial measures we take will
sufficiently address and eliminate this material weakness. Remedying this
material weakness, any additional deficiencies, significant deficiencies, or
material weaknesses that we may identify in the future, could require us to
incur significant costs, expend significant time and management resources or
make other changes. We have not yet remediated this material weakness. As a
result, we may be required to report in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
the first quarter of 2008 or in subsequent reports filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission that a material weakness in our internal control over
financial reporting continues to exist. Any delay or failure to design and
implement new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their
implementation or operation may cause us to fail to meet our financial reporting
obligations or prevent us from providing reliable and accurate financial reports
or avoiding or detecting fraud. Disclosure of this material weakness, any
failure to remediate such material weakness in a timely fashion or having or
maintaining ineffective internal controls could cause investors to lose
confidence in our reported financial information.
 We
may not be able to compete successfully against current and future
competitors.
  The
Internet connectivity and IP services market is highly competitive, as evidenced
by recent declines in pricing for Internet connectivity services. The content
delivery market is also intensely competitive and rapidly
changing.  We expect competition from existing competitors to continue
to intensify in the future, and we may not have the financial resources,
technical expertise, sales and marketing abilities, or support capabilities to
compete successfully. Our competitors currently include: regional Bell operating
companies that offer Internet access; global, national and regional ISPs;
providers of specific applications or solutions such as content delivery,
security or storage; software-based and other Internet infrastructure providers
and manufacturers; and colocation and data center providers. In addition, ISPs
may make technological advancements, such as the introduction of improved
routing protocols to enhance the quality of their services, which could
negatively impact the demand for our products and services.
  In addition, we will face additional competition as we expand our
managed services product offerings, including competition from technology and
telecommunications companies. A number of telecommunications companies and ISPs
have offered or expanded their network services. Further, the ability of some of
these potential competitors to bundle other services and products with their
network services could place us at a competitive disadvantage. Various companies
also are exploring the possibility of providing, or are currently providing,
high-speed, intelligent data services that use connections to more than one
network or use alternative delivery methods including the cable television
infrastructure, direct broadcast satellites and wireless local loop. Many of our
existing and future competitors may have greater market presence, engineering
and marketing capabilities, and financial, technological and personnel resources
than we have. As a result, our competitors may have significant advantages over
us and may be able to respond more quickly to emerging technologies and ensuing
customer demands. Increased competition and technological advancements by our
competitors could materially and adversely affect our business, consolidated
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
  15
  In
addition, more and more businesses are deciding to develop their own solutions
rather than outsource such solutions to providers like us.  If we are
unable to provide services that are competitive with such in-sourced solutions,
we will lose customers and our business and financial results will
suffer.
  Failure to develop new products and
services, as well as enhancements to our existing services, may cause our
operating results to suffer.
  Our
industry is constantly evolving.  The process of developing new
services and the technologies that support them is expensive, time and labor
intensive and uncertain.  We may fail to understand the market demand
for new services or not be able to overcome technical problems with new
services.  In addition, our customers’ needs may change in ways that
we do not anticipate and these changes could eliminate our customers’ needs for
our services and render our products and services obsolete. If we fail to
develop new products and services before our competitors, we may lose market
share, resulting in a decrease in our revenues and earnings.
  Many
of our current and potential customers are pursuing emerging or unproven
business models and the demand for our services and products may decline if such
models are unsuccessful.
  The need
for a content delivery network is a recent technological advancement and our
customers’ business models that rely on the delivery of streaming video and
other content remain unproven.  These customers will not continue to
purchase our products and services if their investment does not generate a
sufficient return.  A reduction in spending on CDN services by such
customers could materially and adversely affect our financial
condition.
  Pricing
pressure could decrease our revenue and threaten the attractiveness of our
premium priced services.
  Pricing
for Internet connectivity services has declined significantly in recent years
and may decline in the future. An economic downturn could further contribute to
this effect. We currently charge, and expect to continue to charge, higher
prices for our high performance IP services than prices charged by our
competitors for their connectivity services. By bundling their services and
reducing the overall cost of their solutions, certain of our competitors may be
able to provide customers with reduced communications costs in connection with
their Internet connectivity services or private network services, thereby
significantly increasing the pressure on us to decrease our prices. Increased
price competition, significant price deflation and other related competitive
pressures could erode our revenueand could materially and adversely
affect our results of operations if we are unable to control or reduce our
costs. Because we rely on ISPs to deliver our services and have agreed with some
of these providers to purchase minimum amounts of service at predetermined
prices, our profitability could be adversely affected by competitive price
reductions to our customers even if accompanied with an increased number of
customers.
  In
addition, in light of economic factors and technological advances, companies
that require Internet connectivity have evaluated and will continue to evaluate
the cost of such services, particularly high performance connectivity services
such as those we currently offer. Consequently, existing and potential customers
may be less willing to pay premium prices for high performance Internet
connectivity services and may choose to purchase lower quality services at lower
prices, which could materially and adversely affect our business, consolidated
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
 Failure
to increase our revenues may cause our business and financial results to
suffer.
 
 We have
considerable fixed expenses and we plan to continue to incur significant
expenses with the expansion of our colocation facilities.  We must,
therefore, generate higher revenues to maintain
profitability.  Numerous factors could affect our ability to increase
revenue, either alone or in combination with other factors,
including:
 ·
              failure
      to increase sales of our products and services;·
              pricing
      pressures;·
              failure
      of our services or software to operate as expected;
  16
  ·
              loss
      of customers and inability to attract new customers;·
              inability
      of a customer to pay our fees; or·
              network
      failures and any breach or unauthorized access to our
    network.
 
 We
depend on a number of ISPs to provide Internet connectivity to our network
access points. If we are unable to obtain required connectivity services on a
cost-effective basis, or at all, or if such services are interrupted or
terminated, our growth prospects and business, consolidated financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows may be adversely affected.
  In
delivering our services, we rely on a number of Internet networks, many of which
are built and operated by others. In order to provide high performance
connectivity services to our customers through our network access points, we
purchase connections from several ISPs. We can offer no assurances that these
ISPs will continue to provide service to us on a cost-effective basis or on
otherwise competitive terms, if at all, or that these providers will provide us
with additional capacity to adequately meet customer demand or to expand our
business. Consolidation among ISPs limits the number of vendors from which we
obtain service, possibly resulting in higher network costs to us. We may be
unable to establish and maintain relationships with other ISPs that may emerge
or that are significant in geographic areas, such as Asia and Europe, in which
we may locate our future network access points. Any of these situations could
limit our growth prospects and materially and adversely affect our business,
consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows.
 
 We
depend on third party suppliers for services and key elements of our network
infrastructure. If we are unable to obtain products or services, such as network
access loops or local loops, on favorable terms, or at all, or in the event of a
failure of these suppliers to deliver their products and services as agreed, our
ability to provide our services on a competitive and timely basis may be
impaired and our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and
cash flows could be adversely affected.
  In
addition to depending on services from third party ISPs, we depend on other
companies to supply various key elements of our infrastructure, including the
network access loops between our network access points and our ISPs and the
local loops between our network access points and our customers’ networks.
Pricing for such network access loops and local loops has risen significantly
over time, and we generally bill these charges to our customers at low or no
margin. Some of our competitors have their own network access loops and local
loops and are, therefore, not subject to similar availability and pricing
issues. In addition, we currently purchase routers and switches from a limited
number of vendors. Furthermore, we do not carry significant inventories of the
products we purchase, and we have no guaranteed supply arrangements with our
vendors. A loss of a significant vendor could delay any build-out of our
infrastructure and increase our costs. If our limited source of suppliers fails
to provide products or services that comply with evolving Internet standards or
that interoperate with other products or services we use in our network
infrastructure, we may be unable to meet all or a portion of our customer
service commitments, which could materially and adversely affect our business,
consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows.
 
 A
failure in the redundancies in our network operations centers, network access
points or computer systems could cause a significant disruption in our IP
services, and we may experience significant disruptions in our ability to
service our customers.
  Our
business depends on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of our network
operations centers, our network access points and our computer and
communications hardware systems and infrastructure. Interruptions could result
from natural or human-caused disasters, power loss, telecommunications failure,
and similar events. If we experience a problem at our network operations
centers, including the failure of redundant systems, we may be unable to provide
IP services to our customers, provide customer service and support or monitor
our network infrastructure or network access points, any of which would
seriously harm our business and operating results. Also, because we provide
continuous Internet availability under our service level agreements, we may be
required to issue a significant amount of customer credits as a result of such
interruptions in service. These credits could negatively affect ourrevenues and results of
operations. In addition, interruptions in serviceto our customers could
harm our customer relations, expose us to potential lawsuits and require
additional capital expenditures.
  17
  A
significant number of our network access points are located in facilities owned
and operated by third parties. In many of those arrangements, we do not have
property rights similar to those customarily possessed by a lessee or subtenant
but instead have lesser rights of occupancy. In certain situations, the
financial condition of those parties providing occupancy to us could have an
adverse impact on the continued occupancy arrangement or the level of service
delivered to us under such arrangements.
  The
increased use of high power density equipment may limit our ability to fully
utilize our data centers.
  Customers
continue to increase their use of high-density equipment, such as blade servers,
in our data centers, which has significantly increased the demand for power on a
per cabinet basis. The current demand for electrical power may exceed our
designed capacity in these facilities. As electrical power, not space, is
typically the primary factor limiting capacity in our data centers, our ability
to fully utilize our data centers may be limited in these
facilities.  If we are unable to adequately utilize our data centers,
our ability to grow our business cost-effectively could be materially and
adversely affected.
 
 Our
business could be harmed by prolonged electrical power outages or shortages,
increased costs of energy or general availability of electrical
resources.
 
 Our data
centers and P-NAPs are susceptible to regional costs of power, electrical power
shortages, planned or unplanned power outages or natural disasters, and
limitations, especially internationally, on availability of adequate power
resources. Power outages could harm our customers and our business. We attempt
to limit exposure to system downtime by using backup generators anduninterruptible power systems. We may not be able to limit our exposure
entirely, however, even with these protections in place, as has been the case
with power outages we have experienced in the past and may experience in the
future. In addition, we may not be able to pass on to our customers the
increased cost of energy caused by power shortages.
  In each
of our markets, we rely on utility companies to provide a sufficient amount of
power for current and future customers. At the same time, power and cooling
requirements are growing on a per unit basis. As a result, some customers are
consuming an increasing amount of power per cabinet. We do not have long-term
power agreements in all our markets for long-term guarantees of provisioned
amounts and may face power limitations in our centers. This limitation could
have a negative impact on the effective available capacity of a given center and
limit our ability to grow our business, which could have a negative impact on
our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows.
 
 Any
failure of our physical infrastructure or services could lead to significant
costs and disruptions that could reduce our revenue and harm our business
reputation, consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows.
 
 Our
business depends on providing customers with highly reliable service. We must
protect our infrastructure and our customers’ data and their equipment located
in our data centers. The services we provide in each of our data centers are
subject to failure resulting from numerous factors, including:
 ·
              human
      error;·
              physical
      or electronic security breaches;·
              fire,
      earthquake, flood, and other natural disasters;·
              water
      damage;
  18
  ·
              fiber
      cuts;·
              power
      loss;·
              sabotage
      and vandalism; and·
              failure
      of business partners who provide our resale products.
 
 Problems
at one or more of the data centers operated by us or any of our colocation
providers, whether or not within our control, could result in service
interruptions or significant equipment damage, which could result in difficulty
maintaining our service level commitments to these customers. If we incur
significant financial commitments to our customers in connection with a loss of
power or we fail to meet other service level commitment obligations, our revenue
reserves may not be adequate. In addition, any loss of services, equipment
damage or inability to meet our service level commitment obligations could
reduce the confidence of our customers and could consequently impair our ability
to obtain and retain customers, which would adversely affect both our ability to
generate revenues and our operating results.
 
 Furthermore,
we are dependent upon ISPs and telecommunications carriers in the United States,
Europe and the Asia-Pacific region, some of whom have experienced significant
system failures and electrical outages in the past. Users of our services may
experience difficulties due to system failures unrelated to our systems and
services. If for any reason, these providers fail to provide the required
services, our business, consolidated financial condition, results of operations
and cash flows could be materially adversely impacted.
 
 No
prevention or defense against denial of service attacks exists. During a
prolonged denial of service attack, Internet service may not be available for
several hours, thus negatively impacting hosted customers’ on-line business
transactions. Affected customers might file claims against us under such
circumstances, and our property and liability insurance may not be adequate to
cover these claims.
 
 Our
results of operations have fluctuated in the past and may continue to fluctuate,
which could have a negative impact on the price of our common
stock.
  We have
experienced fluctuations in our results of operations on a quarterly and annual
basis. The fluctuation in our operating results may cause the market price of
our common stock to decline. We expect to experience significant fluctuations in
our operating results in the foreseeable future due to a variety of factors,
including:
 ·
              competition
      and the introduction of new services by our competitors;·
              continued
      pricing pressures resulting from competitors’ strategies or excess
      bandwidth supply;·
              fluctuations
      in the demand and sales cycle for our services;·
              fluctuations
      in the market for qualified sales and other personnel;·
              changes
      in the prices for Internet connectivity we pay to ISPs;·
              the
      cost and availability of adequate public utilities, including
      power;·
              our
      ability to obtain local loop connections to our network access points at
      favorable prices;·
              integration
      of people, operations, products, and technologies of acquired
      businesses; and·
              general
      economic conditions.
   19
  In
addition, fluctuations in our results of operations may arise from strategic
decisions we have made or may make with respect to the timing and magnitude of
capital expenditures such as those associated with the expansion of our
colocation facilities, the deployment of additional network access points and
the terms of our network connectivity purchase agreements. These and other
factors discussed in this annual report on Form 10-K could have a material
adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows. In addition, a relatively large portion of our
expenses are fixed in the short-term, particularly with respect to lease and
personnel expense, depreciation and amortization and interest expense. Our
results of operations, therefore, are particularly sensitive to fluctuations in
revenue. Because our results of operations have fluctuated in the past and are
expected to continue to fluctuate in the future, we can offer no assurance that
the results of any particular period are an indication of future performance in
our business operations. Fluctuations in our results of operations could have a
negative impact on our ability to raise additional capital and execute our
business plan. Our operating results in one or more future quarters may fail to
meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors, which could cause an
immediate and significant decline in the trading price of our
stock.
 
 We
have acquired and may acquire other businesses, and these acquisitions involve
numerous risks.
  We may
pursue acquisitions of complementary businesses, products, services, and
technologies to expand our geographic footprint, enhance our existing services,
expand our service offerings, and enlarge our customer base. If we complete
future acquisitions, we may be required to incur or assume additional debt, make
capital expenditures or issue additional shares of our common stock or
securities convertible into our common stock as consideration, which would
dilute our existing stockholders’ ownership interest and may adversely affect
our results of operations. Our ability to grow through acquisitions involves a
number of additional risks, including the following:
  ·
              the
      ability to identify and consummate complementary
    acquisitions;·
              the
      possibility that we may not be able to integrate the operations,
      personnel, technologies, products, and services of the acquired companies
      in a timely and efficient manner;·
              diversion
      of management’s attention from other ongoing business
      concerns;·
              insufficient
      revenue to offset significant unforeseen costs and increased expenses
      associated with the acquisitions;·
              challenges
      in completing projects associated with in-process research and development
      being conducted by the acquired businesses;·
              risks
      associated with our entrance into markets in which we have little or no
      prior experience and where competitors have a stronger market
      presence;·
              deferral
      of purchasing decisions by current and potential customers as they
      evaluate the likelihood of success of our acquisitions;·
              incurring
      or assuming contingent liabilities and amortization expense for acquired
      intangible assets;·
              incurring
      acquisition liabilities as a result of integrating acquired
      businesses;·
              difficulties
      in successfully integrating the management teams and employees of both
      companies; and·
              loss
      of key employees of the acquired companies.
  Failure
to effectively manage our growth through acquisitions could adversely affect our
growth prospects, business, consolidated financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows.
 
 20
  The
terms of our existing credit agreement impose restrictions upon us.
  The terms
of our existing credit agreement impose operating and financial restrictions on
us and require us to meet certain financial tests. These restrictions may also
have a negative impact on our business, consolidated financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows by significantly limiting or prohibiting us
from engaging in certain transactions. The credit agreement contains certain
covenants, including covenants that restrict our ability to incur further
indebtedness.
  The
failure to comply with any of these covenants would cause a default under the
credit agreement. Any defaults, if not waived, could result in the lender
ceasing to make loans or extending credit to us, accelerating or declaring all
or any obligations immediately due, or taking possession of or liquidating
collateral. If any of these events occur, we may not be able to borrow
sufficient funds to refinance the credit agreement on terms that are acceptable
to us, which could materially and adversely impact our business, consolidated
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
  As of
December 31, 2007, we were in compliance with the various loan covenants
required by the credit agreement.
  Our
investments in auction rate securities are subject to risks that may cause
losses and affect the liquidity of these investments.
  As of
December 31, 2007, we held $7.2 million of auction rate securities classified as
short-term investments. Auction rate securities are variable rate bonds tied to
short-term interest rates with maturities on the face of the securities in
excess of 90 days and have interest rate resets through a modified Dutch
auction, at predetermined short-term intervals, usually every 7, 28 or 35
days.  Although these securities are issued and rated as long term
bonds, they are priced and traded as short-term instruments because of the
liquidity provided through the interest rate resets.  The underlying
assets of our auction rate securities are state-issued student and educational
loans that are substantially backed by the federal government and carried
AAA/Aaa ratings as of December 31, 2007.  The Dutch auctions have in
the past provided a liquid market for these types of securities. With the
liquidity issues experienced in global credit and capital markets, auctions of
each of the auction rate securities that we hold failed subsequent to December
31, 2007, as the amount of securities submitted for sale exceeded the amount of
purchase orders. If the uncertainties in the credit and capital market continue,
these markets deteriorate further or the various rating agencies downgrade any
of the auction rare securities that we hold, we may be required to adjust the
value of these investments through an impairment charge to earnings if the fair
value of these securities has declined to below their cost and such decline is
assessed to be “other than temporary” under SFAS No. 115. Further, we may not be
able to liquidate these investments until successful auctions occur, a buyer
outside the auction process is found, the issuer calls these debt securities, or
the securities mature.
  Continued
overcapacity in the Internet connectivity and IP services market may result in
our recording additional significant restructuring charges and goodwill
impairment.
 
 We have
undertaken significant operational restructurings and have taken restructuring
and impairment charges and recorded total restructuring costs of $11.3 million
for the year ended December 31, 2007 and less than $1.0 million for the
years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. We may incur additional restructuring
charges or adjustments in the future. Such additional restructuring charges or
adjustments could materially and adversely affect our business, net profit and
stockholders’ equity.
 
 Adverse
experience in the CDN services market may result in our recording additional
goodwill impairment charges.
 
 Upon
completion of our acquisition of VitalStream, we recorded $154.8 million in
goodwill.  We tested this goodwill in August of 2007 as part of our
annual testing, and concluded that such goodwill had not been
impaired.  We can offer no assurances, however, that this goodwill
will remain unimpaired.  We may incur impairment charges in the
future, which could materially and adversely affect our net profit and
stockholders’ equity.
 
 21
  If
we are unable to deploy new network access points or do not adequately control
expense associated with the deployment of new network access points, our results
of operations could be adversely affected.
 
 As part
of our strategy, we intend to continue to expand our network access points,
particularly into new geographic markets. We will face various risks associated
with identifying, obtaining and integrating attractive network access point
sites, negotiating leases for centers on competitive terms, cost estimation
errors or overruns, delays in connecting with local exchanges, equipment and
material delays or shortages, the inability to obtain necessary permits on a
timely basis, if at all, and other factors, many of which are beyond our control
and all of which could delay the deployment of a new network access point. We
can offer no assurance that we will be able to open and operate new network
access points on a timely or profitable basis. Deployment of new network access
points will increase operating expense, including expense associated with
hiring, training, retaining, and managing new employees, provisioning capacity
from ISPs, purchasing new equipment, implementing new systems, leasing
additional real estate, and incurring additional depreciation expense. If we are
unable to control our costs as we expand in geographically dispersed locations,
our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could
be materially and adversely affected.
  Our
international operations may not be successful.
 
 We have
limited experience operating internationally and have only recently begun to
achieve successful international experiences. We currently have network access
points in London, England, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Sydney, Australia. Wealso participate in a joint venture with NTT-ME Corporation and Nippon
Telegraph and Telephone Corporation, or NTT Holdings, that operates a network
access point in Tokyo and Osaka, Japan and maintain a marketing agreement with
Telefonica USA, which provides us with further access in Europe and access to
the Latin American market. As part of our strategy to expand our geographic
markets, we may develop or acquire network access points or complementary
businesses in additional international markets. The risks associated with
expansion of our international business operations include:
  ·
              challenges
      in establishing and maintaining relationships with foreign customers as
      well as foreign ISPs and local vendors, including data center and local
      network operators;·
              challenges
      in staffing and managing network operations centers and network access
      points across disparate geographic areas;·
              limited
      protection for intellectual property rights in some
    countries;·
              challenges
      in reducing operating expense or other costs required by local
      laws;·
              exposure
      to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;·
              costs
      of customizing network access points for foreign countries and
      customers;·
              protectionist
      laws and practices favoring local competition;·
              political
      and economic instability; and·
              compliance
      with governmental regulations.
  We may be
unsuccessful in our efforts to address the risks associated with our
international operations, which may limit our international sales growth and
materially and adversely affect our business and results of
operations.
  22
  Disputes
with vendors regarding the delivery of services may materially impact our
results of operations and cash flows.
  In
delivering our services, we rely on a number of Internet network,
telecommunication and other vendors. We work directly with these vendors to
provide services such as establishing, modifying or discontinuing services for
our customers. Because of the volume of activity, billing disputes inevitably
arise. These disputes typically stem from disagreements concerning the starting
and ending dates of service, quoted rates, usage, and various other factors. We
research and discuss disputed costs, both in the vendors’ favor and our favor,
with vendors on an ongoing basis until ultimately resolved. We record the cost
and a liability based on our estimate of the most likely outcome of the dispute.
These estimates are periodically reviewed by management and modified in light of
new information or developments, if any. Because estimates regarding disputed
costs include assessments of uncertain outcomes, such estimates are inherently
vulnerable to changes due to unforeseen circumstances that could materially and
adversely affect our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and
cash flows.
  We
depend upon our key employees and may be unable to attract or retain sufficient
numbers of qualified personnel.
  Our
future performance depends to a significant degree upon the continued
contributions of our executive management team and other key employees. To the
extent we are able to expand our operations and deploy additional network access
points, we may need to increase our workforce. Accordingly, our future success
depends on our ability to attract, hire, train, and retain highly skilled
management, technical, sales, marketing, and customer support personnel.
Competition for qualified employees is intense, and we compete for qualified
employees with companies that may have greater financial resources than we have.
Our employment security plan with our executive officers provide that either
party may terminate their employment at any time. Consequently, we may not be
successful in attracting, hiring, training, and retaining the people we need,
which would seriously impede our ability to implement our business
strategy.
 
 Our
senior management team has had limited time to develop a working relationship
with each other and may not be able to manage our business
effectively.
 
 Our Chief
Operating Officer, General Counsel, Chief Technology Officer, and Chief Strategy
Officer have been hired since March 2007, and we are currently seeking a Chief
Financial Officer.  This limited experience working together could
harm our management team’s ability to quickly and efficiently respond to
problems and effectively manage our business.
  If
we fail to adequately protect our intellectual property, we may lose rights to
some of our most valuable assets.
  We rely
on a combination of copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, and other
intellectual property law, nondisclosure agreements, and other protective
measures to protect our proprietary rights. We also utilize unpatented
proprietary know-how and trade secrets and employ various methods to protect
such intellectual property. Taken as a whole, we believe our intellectual
property rights are significant and that the loss of all or a substantial
portion of such rights could have a material adverse effect on our results of
operations. We can offer no assurance that our intellectual property protection
measures will be sufficient to prevent misappropriation of our technology. In
addition, the laws of many foreign countries do not protect our intellectual
property to the same extent as the laws of the United States. From time to time,
third parties have or may assert infringement claims against us or against our
customers in connection with their use of our products or services.
 
 In
addition, we rely on the intellectual property of others. We may desire or be
required to renew or to obtain licenses from these other parties in order to
further develop and market commercially viable products or services effectively.
We can offer no assurance that any necessary licenses will be available on
reasonable terms.
  We
may face litigation and liability due to claims of infringement of third party
intellectual property rights.
  The
Internet services industry is characterized by the existence of a large number
of patents and frequent litigation based on allegations of patent infringement.
From time to time, third parties may assert patent, copyright, trademark, trade
secret, and other intellectual property rights to technologies that are
important to our business. Any claims that our products or services infringe or
may infringe proprietary rights of third parties, with or without merit, could
be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, divert the efforts of our
technical and management personnel, or require us to enter into royalty or
licensing agreements, any of which could significantly harm our operating
results. In addition, our customer agreements generally provide for us to
indemnify our customers for expenses and liabilities resulting from claimed
infringement of patents or copyrights of third parties, subject to certain
limitations. If an infringement claim against us were to be successful, and we
were not able to obtain a license to the relevant technology or a substitute
technology on acceptable terms or redesign our products or services to avoid
infringement, our ability to compete successfully in our competitive market
would be materially impaired.
 
 23
  We may become involved in other
litigation that may adversely affect us.
 
 In the
ordinary course of business, we are or may become involved in litigation,
administrative proceedings and governmental proceedings.  Such matters
can be time-consuming, divert management’s attention and resources and cause us
to incur significant expenses.  Furthermore, the results of any such
actions could have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated
financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
 
 Risks
Related to Our Industry
 
 We
cannot predict with certainty the future evolution of the high performance
Internet connectivity market, and therefore the role of our products and
services.
  We face
the risk that the market for high performance Internet connectivity services
might develop more slowly or differently than currently projected, or that our
services may not achieve continued widespread market acceptance. Furthermore, we
may be unable to market and sell our services successfully and cost-effectively
to a sufficiently large number of customers. We typically charge a premium for
our services, which may affect market acceptance of our services or adversely
impact the rate of market acceptance. We believe the danger of non-acceptance is
particularly acute during economic slowdowns, which exert significant pricing
pressure on ISPs. If the Internet becomes subject to a form of central
management, or if ISPs establish an economic settlement arrangement regarding
the exchange of traffic between Internet networks, the demand for our IP
services could be materially and adversely affected.
  If
we are unable to respond effectively and on a timely basis to rapid
technological change, we may lose or fail to establish a competitive advantage
in our market.
  Our
industry is characterized by rapidly changing technology, industry standards and
customer needs, as well as by frequent new product and service introductions.
New technologies and industry standards have the potential to replace or provide
lower cost alternatives to our services. The adoption of such new technologies
or industry standards could render our existing services obsolete and
unmarketable. Our failure to anticipate the prevailing standard, to adapt our
technology to any changes in the prevailing standard or the failure of a common
standard to emerge could materially and adversely affect our business. Our
pursuit of necessary technological advances may require substantial time and
expense, and we may be unable to successfully adapt our network and services to
alternative access devices and technologies.
 
 Our
network and software are subject to potential security breaches and similar
threats that could result in our liability for damages and harm our
reputation.
  A number
of widespread and disabling attacks on public and private networks have occurred
recently. The number and severity of these attacks may increase in the future as
network assailants take advantage of outdated software, security breaches or
incompatibility between or among networks. Computer viruses, intrusions and
similar disruptive problems could cause us to be liable for damages under
agreements with our customers, and our reputation could suffer, thereby
deterring potential customers from working with us. Security problems or other
attacks caused by third parties could lead to interruptions and delays, or to
the cessation of service to our customers. Furthermore, inappropriate use of the
network by third parties could also jeopardize the security of confidential
information stored in our computer systems and in those of our customers and
could expose us to liability under unsolicited commercial e-mail, or “spam,”
regulations. In the past, third parties have occasionally circumvented some of
these industry-standard measures. We can offer no assurance that the measures we
implement will not be circumvented. Our efforts to eliminate computer viruses
and alleviate other security problems, or any circumvention of those efforts,
may result in increased costs, interruptions, delays or cessation of service to
our customers, which could hurt our business, consolidated financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows.
 
 24
  Terrorist
activity throughout the world and military action to counter terrorism could
adversely impact our business.
  The
continued threat of terrorist activity and other acts of war or hostility may
have an adverse effect on business, financial and general economic conditions
internationally. Effects from any future terrorist activity, including cyber
terrorism, may, in turn, increase our costs due to the need to provide enhanced
security, which would adversely affect our business, consolidated financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows. These circumstances may also
damage or destroy the Internet infrastructure and may materially and adversely
affect our ability to attract and retain customers, our ability to raise capital
and the operation and maintenance of our network access points.
 
 If
governments modify or increase regulation of the Internet, the provision of our
services could become more costly.
  International
bodies and federal, state and local governments have adopted a number of laws
and regulations that affect the Internet and are likely to continue to seek to
implement additional laws and regulations. For example, a federal law regulating
spam was enacted in 2003. In addition, federal and state agencies are actively
considering regulation of various aspects of the Internet, including taxation of
transactions, and imposing access fees for voice over IP, or VoIP. The Federal
Communications Commission and state agencies also review the regulatory
requirements, if any, that should be applicable to VoIP. If we seek to offer
additional products and services, we could be required to obtain certain,
additional authorizations from regulatory agencies. We may not be able to obtain
such authorizations in a timely manner, or at all, and conditions could be
imposed upon such authorization that may not be favorable to us.
  Congress
recently extended the Internet Tax Freedom Act, which placed a moratorium
against certain state and local taxation of Internet access, until
November 1, 2014. Pursuant to this moratorium, most of our services are not
subject to state and local taxation.
 In
addition, laws relating to the liability of private network operators and
information carried on or disseminated through their networks are unsettled,
both in the United States and abroad.  Network operators have been
sued in the past based on the content of material disseminated through their
networks.  We may become subject to legal claims such as defamation,
invasion of privacy and copyright infringement in connection with content stored
on or distributed through our network.  Also, our reputation could
suffer as a result of our perceived association with the type of content that
some of our customers deliver.
 
 The
adoption of any future laws or regulations might decrease the growth of the
Internet, decrease demand for our services, impose taxes or other costly
technical requirements, regulate the Internet similar to the regulation of
traditional telecommunications services, or otherwise increase the cost of doing
business on the Internet in some other manner. Any of these actions could have a
significantly harmful effect on our customers or us. Moreover, the nature of any
new laws and regulations and the interpretation of applicability to the Internet
of existing laws governing intellectual property ownership and infringement,
copyright, trademark, trade secret, obscenity, libel, employment, personal
privacy, and other issues is uncertain and developing. We cannot predict the
impact, if any, that future regulation or regulatory changes may have on our
business.
 
 If our ability to deliver media
files in certain formats is restricted or becomes cost-prohibitive, demand for
our services would decline and our financial results would
suffer.
 
 Our CDN
products and services depend on our ability to deliver media content in all
major formats.  If our legal right to store and deliver content in
certain formats, like Adobe Flash or Windows Media, for example, was limited, we
could not serve our customers and the demand for our services would
decline.  Owners of proprietary content formats may be able to block,
restrict or impose fees or other costs on our use of such formats, leading to
additional expenses or prevent our delivery of this type of content, which could
materially and adversely affect our operating results.

  Risks
Related to Our Capital Stock
  Our
common stockholders may experience significant dilution, which could depress the
market price of our common stock.
  Holders
of our stock options and warrants to purchase common stock may exercise their
options or warrants to purchase our common stock, which would increase the
number of outstanding shares of common stock in the future. As of December 31,
2007, options to purchase an aggregate of 3.2 million shares of our common
stock at a weighted average exercise price of $13.29 were outstanding, and
warrants to purchase approximately 34,000 shares of our common stock
at an exercise price of $9.50 per share were outstanding. Also, the vesting
of 0.7 million outstanding restricted stock awards will increase the weighted
average number of shares used for calculating diluted net income per share. We
issued approximately 12.2 million shares of our common stock to VitalStream’s
stockholders in connection with the acquisition in February of 2007. We also
assumed outstanding options for the purchase of shares of VitalStream
common stock, converted into options to purchase approximately 1.5 million
shares of Internap common stock. Furthermore, greater than expected capital
requirements could require us to obtain additional financing through the
issuance of securities, which could be in the form of common stock or preferred
stock or other securities having greater rights than our common stock. The
issuance of our common stock or other securities, whether upon the exercise of
options and warrants, the futurevesting and issuance of stock awards to
our executives and employees, or in financing transactions, could depress the
market price of the common stock by increasing the number of shares of common
stock or other securities outstanding on an absolute basis or as a result of the
timing of additional shares of common stock becoming available on the market.
 
 Provisions
of our charter documents, our stockholder rights plan and Delaware law may have
anti-takeover effects that could prevent a change in control even if the change
in control would be beneficial to our stockholders.
 
 Provisions
of our certificate of incorporation, as amended, amended and restated bylaws and
Delaware law could make an acquisition more difficult, even if doing so would be
beneficial to our stockholders.  In addition, our Board of Directors
recently adopted a stockholder rights plan that renders the consummation of an
acquisition without the approval of the Board of Directors more
difficult.
  Our
stock price may be volatile.
  The
market for our equity securities has been extremely volatile. Our stock price
could suffer in the future as a result of any failure to meet the expectations
of public market analysts and investors about our results of operations from
quarter to quarter. The following factors could cause the price of our common
stock in the public market to fluctuate significantly:
 
 ·
              actual
      or anticipated variations in our quarterly and annual results of
      operations;·
              changes
      in market valuations of companies in the Internet connectivity and
      services industry;·
              changes
      in expectations of future financial performance or changes in estimates of
      securities analysts;·
              fluctuations
      in stock market prices and volumes;
   26
  ·
              future
      issuances of common stock or other securities;·
              the
      addition or departure of key personnel; and·
              announcements
      by us or our competitors of acquisitions, investments or strategic
      alliances.
 
 Changes in financial accounting
standards may adversely affect our reported results of
operations.
 
 New
accounting pronouncements and interpretations have occurred and may occur in the
future that adversely affect on our reported results.  For example,
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) “Share Based
Payment,” or SFAS No. 123R, required us to account for our stock-based awards as
a compensation expense and, as a result, our net income and net income per share
in subsequent periods has been significantly reduced.

  ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES.
  Our
principal executive offices are located in Atlanta, Georgia adjacent to our
network operations center, one of our P-NAPs and data center facilities. The
Atlanta facility consists of 120,298 square feet under a lease agreement that
expires in 2020. We lease other facilities to fulfill our real estate
requirements in metropolitan areas and specific cities where ourservice
points are located. We believe our existing facilities are adequate for our
current needs and that suitable additional or alternative space will be
available in the future on commercially reasonable terms as needed.
  ITEM 3.  LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS.
  We
currently, and from time to time, are involved in litigation incidental to the
conduct of our business. Although the amount of liability that may result from
these matters cannot be ascertained, we do not currently believe that, in the
aggregate, such matters will result in liabilities material to our consolidated
financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

approximately 24,600.
 
 We have
never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock, and we do not
anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We are prohibited
from paying cash dividends under covenants contained in our current credit
agreement. We currently intend to retain our earnings, if any, for future
growth. Future dividends on our common stock, if any, will be at the discretion
of our board of directors and will depend on, among other things, our
operations, capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition,
contractual restrictions, and such other factors as our board of directors may
deem relevant.

              On
      February 20, 2007 we completed our acquisition of VitalStream, whereby
      VitalStream became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Internap. Prior to our
      acquisition of VitalStream, we did not offer proprietary CDN services, but
      instead, we were a reseller of third party CDN services. Under the
      purchase method of accounting, we allocated the total estimated purchase
      price to VitalStream’s net tangible and intangible assets based on their
      estimated fair values as of February 20, 2007. We recorded the excess
      purchase price over the value of the net tangible and identifiable
      intangible assets as goodwill. Also, as a result of the acquisition we
      issued approximately 12.2 million shares of Internap common
      stock.
  (2)
              Effective
      January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004),
      “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS No. 123R) and related
      interpretations, using the modified prospective transition method and
      therefore have not restated prior periods’ results. Prior to the adoption
      of SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006, we accounted for
      stock-based compensation plans under the recognition and measurement
      provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25,
      “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations.
      We also provided disclosures in accordance with SFAS No. 123,
      “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” as amended by
      SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation —
      Transition and Disclosures — an Amendment of FASB Statement
      No. 123.” Accordingly, no expense was recognized for options to
      purchase our common stock that we granted with an exercise price equal to
      fair market value at the date of grant and no expense was recognized in
      connection with purchases under employee stock purchase plans for any
      periods prior to January 1,
2006.

              Prior
      to 2007, direct costs of amortization of acquired technologies were
      included in the caption direct costs of network, sales and services,
      exclusive of depreciation and amortization.  In 2007, we
      reclassified these costs to a separate caption.  These
      reclassifications had no effect on previously reported operating loss
      (income) or net loss (income).
 
 (4)
              In
      August 2003, we completed a private placement of our common stock, which
      resulted in a decrease of the conversion price of our series A preferred
      stock to $9.50 per share and an increase in the number of shares of common
      stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of series A preferred stock
      by 3.5 million shares. We recorded a deemed dividend of $34.6 million in
      connection with the conversion price adjustment, which is attributable to
      the additional incremental number of shares of common stock was issuable
      upon conversion of our series A preferred
stock.

  ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
  The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and accompanying notes provided under Part II, Item 8 of
this annual report on Form 10-K.
 
 Overview
 
 We
deliver high performance and reliable Internet solutions through a suite of
network optimization and delivery products and services. These solutions,
combined with progressive and proactive technical support, enable companies to
confidently migrate business-critical applications, including audio and video
streaming and monetization services, to the Internet. Our suite of products and
services support a broad range of Internet applications. We currently
have approximately 3,800 customers, serving financial services, healthcare,
technology, retail, travel, and media/entertainment markets. Our customers are
located in the United States and abroad and include several Fortune 1000 and
mid-tier enterprises. Our product and service offerings are complemented by
Internet protocol, or IP, access solutions such as data center services, content
delivery networks, or CDN, and managed security. We deliver services through our
50 service points across North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. Our
Private Network Access Points, or P-NAPs, feature multiple direct high-speed
connections to major Internet networks including AT&T Inc., Sprint
Nextel Corporation, Verizon CommunicationsInc., Savvis, Inc., Global
Crossing Limited, and Level 3 Communications, Inc.
  The key
characteristic that differentiates us from our competition is our portfolio of
patented and patent-pending route optimization solutions that address the
inherent weaknesses of the Internet and overcome the inefficiencies of
traditional IP connectivity options. Our intelligent routing technology can
facilitate traffic over multiple carriers, as opposed to just one carrier's
network, to ensure highly reliable performance over the Internet.
  We
believe our unique managed multi-network approach provides better performance,
control and reliability compared to conventional Internet connectivity
alternatives. Our service level agreements guarantee performance across the
entire Internet in the United States, excluding local connections, whereas
providers of conventional Internet connectivity typically only guarantee
performance on their own network.
 
 On
October 12, 2006, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire VitalStream
Holdings, Inc., or VitalStream, in an all-stock transaction accounted for using
the purchase method of accounting for business combinations. The transaction
closed on February 20, 2007. Our results of operations include the activities of
VitalStream from February 21, 2007 through December 31, 2007.
  As
discussed in note 18 to our consolidated financial statements, we revised our
quarterly statement of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 to
appropriately record (1) $0.5 million for sales adjustments, which reduced net
accounts receivable and revenue, and (2) $0.1 million for accretion of interest
income that we initially included as unrealized gain in accumulated other
comprehensive income within stockholders’ equity.  The effect of these
revisions had no impact on our consolidated statement of cash
flows.  We have determined that these adjustments are not material to
our consolidated financial statements for any of the affected quarterly
periods.  Accordingly, we have not revised the 2007 quarterly
financial statements included in our previously filed Forms 10-Q for the
quarterly periods ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2007, for these
adjustments.
 We
operate in three business segments: IP services, data center services and CDN
services. For additional information about these segments, see note 5 to the
consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8.
  The
following is a brief description of each of our reportable business
segments.
 
 IP
Services
  Our
patented and patent-pending network performance optimization technologies
address the inherent weaknesses of the Internet, allowing enterprises to take
advantage of the convenience, flexibility and reach of the Internet to connect
to customers, suppliers and partners. Our solutions take into account the unique
performance requirements of each business application to ensure performance as
designed, without unnecessary cost. Prior to recommending appropriate network
solutions for our customers’ applications, we consider key performance
objectives including (1) performance and cost optimization, (2) application
control and speed and (3) delivery and reach. Our charges for IP services are
based on a fixed-fee, usage or a combination of both fixed fee and
usage.
  32
  Our IP
services segment also includes our flow control platform, or FCP. The FCP
provides network performance management and monitoring for companies with
multi-homed networks and redundant Internet connections.  The FCP
proactively reviews customer networks for the best performing route or the most
cost-effective and routes according to our customers’ requirements.  We
offer FCP as either a one-time hardware purchase or as a monthly subscription
service. Sales of FCP also generate annual maintenance fees and professional
service fees for installation and ongoing network configuration. Since the FCP
emulates our P-NAP service in many ways, this product affords us the opportunity
to serve customers outside of our P-NAP market footprint. This product
represents approximately 4% of our IP services revenue and approximately 2% of
our consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, 2007.
 
 Data
Center Services
  Our data
center services provide a single source for network infrastructure, IP and
security, all of which are designed to maximize solution performance while
providing a more stable, dependable infrastructure, and are backed by guaranteed
service levels and our team of dedicated support professionals. We offer a
comprehensive solution at 42 service points, including eight locations managed
by us and 34 locations managed by third parties.
 
 Data
center services also enable us to have a more flexible product offering,
including bundling our high performance IP connectivity and managed services,
such as content delivery, along with hosting customers' applications. We charge
monthly fees for data center services based on the amount of square footage that
the customer leases in our facilities. We also have relationships with various
providers to extend our P-NAP model into markets with high demand.
 
 CDN
Services
  Our CDN
services enable our customers to quickly and securely stream and distribute
video, audio, advertising, and software to audiences across the globe through
strategically located data centers. Providing capacity-on-demand to handle large
events and unanticipated traffic spikes, content is delivered with high quality
regardless of audience size or geographic location. Our MediaConsole® content
management tool provides our customers the benefit of a single, easy to navigate
system featuring Media Asset Management, Digital Rights Management, or DRM,
support, and detailed reporting tools. With MediaConsole, our customers can use
one application to manage and control access to their digital assets, deliver
advertising campaigns, view network conditions, and gain insight into habits of
their viewing audience.
 
 Our CDN
and monetization services provide a complete turnkey solution for the
monetization of online media. These multi-faceted “live” and “on-demand”
advertisement insertion and advertising placement solutions include a full
campaign management suite, inventory prediction tools, audience research and
metrics, and extensive reporting features to effectively track advertising
campaigns in real-time. Online advertising solutions enable our customers to
offset the costs associated with the creation, transformation, licensing, and
management of online content. Prior to our acquisition of VitalStream on
February 20, 2007, we did not offer proprietary CDN services, but instead, we
were a reseller of third party CDN services for which results of operations
are included in Other revenues and direct costs of network, sales and services,
discussed below.
 
 Other
  Other
revenues and direct costs of network, sales and services include our
non-segmented results of operations, including certain reseller and
miscellaneous services such as third party CDN services, termination fee
revenue, other hardware sales, and consulting services.
 
 Highlights
and Outlook
 ·
                Due to the nature of the
      services we provide, we generally price our IP services at a premium
      compared to the services offered by conventional Internet connectivity
      service providers. We believe customers with business-critical
      Internet applications will continue to demand the highest quality of
      service as their Internet connectivity needs grow and become even more
      complex and, as such, will continue to pay a premium for our high
      performance managed IP
services.
 
  33
  ·
              Our success in executing our
      premium pricing strategy depends, to a significant degree, on our ability
      to differentiate our connectivity solutions from lower cost
      alternatives. The key measures of our success in achieving this
      differentiation are revenue and customer growth. During 2007, we
      added approximately 1,500 net customers (including
      approximately 900 VitalStream customers that we added as part of the
      VitalStream acquisition), bringing our total to approximately 3,800
      enterprise customers as of December 31, 2007. Revenue for the year ended
      December 31, 2007 increased 29% to $234.1 million, compared to revenue of
      $181.4 million for the year ended December 31,
  2006.
 ·
              We intend to increase revenue
      by leveraging the capabilities of our existing network access
      points. In our existing markets, we realize incremental margins as
      new customers are added. Additional volume in an existing market allows
      improved utilization of existing facilities and an improved ability to
      cost-effectively predict and acquire additional network capacity. We
      experienced a net increase in customers from 2006 to 2007. Conversely,
      decreases in the number of customers in an established market lead to
      decreased facility utilization and increase the possibility that direct
      network resources are not cost-efficiently employed. These factors have a
      direct bearing on our financial position and results of
      operations.·
              We offer a 100% operational
      uptime guarantee for our network performance
      management. Coupled with the lowest packet loss and latency in
      the industry, we provide our customers with a proactive industry-leading
      Service Level Agreement (SLA) that covers the entire Internet - not just
      one single network. Unlike our competitors, we believe so strongly in
      the consistent performance of our network that we offer proactive SLA
      notification and automatic bill credits
      if we ever break our SLAs.  We believe that this commitment
      allows us to provide the best network performance
    available.
 
 Developments
in 2007
 
 VitalStream
Acquisition. On February 20, 2007, we completed the previously announced
acquisition of VitalStream Holdings, Inc., or VitalStream, for approximately
$214.0 million, whereby VitalStream became a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Internap. VitalStream provides products and services for storing and delivering
digital media to large audiences over the Internet and advertisement insertion
and related advertising services to companies that stream digital media over the
Internet. VitalStream enhances our position as a leading provider of high
performance route control products and services by adding complementary service
offerings in the rapidly growing content delivery and on-line advertising
markets. Integrating VitalStream's digital media delivery platform into our
portfolio of products and services enables us to provide customers with one of
the most complete product lines in content delivery solutions, content
monetization and on-line advertising, while supporting the significant long-term
growth opportunities in the network services market. We also considered the
following:
 
 ·
              VitalStream’s
      services were a logical extension and complement to our high performance
      route control products and
services.
 ·
              We
      evaluated demand for CDN services within our customer base and determined
      that a market for proprietary CDN services
  existed.
 ·
              VitalStream’s
      services offered our legacy customers additional high growth and high
      margin revenue streams.
 ·
              We
      believed that large audio and video files are more effectively delivered
      over the Internet with a combination of VitalStream’s platform and our
      route management network.
 ·
              VitalStream’s
      initiatives in the rich media advertising services business present an
      entirely new set of opportunities and potential customer relationships for
      us, as advertisers seek to access a large and growing base of Internet
      users that watch increasing amounts of video
  online.
  34
  We
accounted for the acquisition using the purchase method of accounting in
accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” Our results of
operations include the activities of VitalStream from February 21, 2007 through
December 31, 2007.
  RestructuringLiability.  On March 31, 2007, we incurred a restructuring and impairment
charge totaling $10.3 million. The charge was the result of a review of our
business, particularly in light of our acquisition of VitalStream, and our plan
to finalize the overall integration and implementation plan before the end of
the first quarter. The charge to expense included $7.8 million for leased
facilities, representing both the net present value of costs less anticipated
sublease recoveries that will continue to be incurred without economic benefit
to us and costs to terminate leases before the end of their term. The charge
also included severance payments of $1.1 million for the termination of certain
Internap employees and $1.4 million for impairment of assets. Related
expenditures are estimated to be $10.7 million, of which $3.7 million has been
paid during the year ended December 31, 2007, and the balance continuing through
December 2016, the last date of the longest lease term. The impairment charge of
$1.3 million was related to the leases referenced above and less than $0.1
million for other assets.
  We also
incurred a $1.1 million impairment recorded for a sales order-through-billing
system, which was a result of an evaluation of the existing infrastructure
relative to our new financial accounting system and the acquisition of
VitalStream.
  Write-Off
of Investment. In connection with the preparation of our quarterly report for the
quarter ended June 30, 2007, we wrote-off an investment, totaling $1.2 million,
representing the remaining carrying value of our investment in series D
preferred stock of Aventail Corporation, or Aventail. We made an initial cash
investment of $6.0 million in Aventail series D preferred stock pursuant to an
investment agreement in February 2000. In connection with a subsequent round of
financing by Aventail, we recognized an initial impairment loss on our
investment of $4.8 million in 2001. On June 12, 2007, SonicWall, Inc. announced
that it had entered into an agreement to acquire Aventail for approximately
$25.0 million in cash. The transaction closed on July 11, 2007, all shares of
series D preferred stock were cancelled and the holders of series D preferred
stock did not receive any consideration for such
shares.  Consequently, we recorded a write-off of our investment in
Aventail to reduce our carrying value to $0.
  Rights
Agreement.On March 15, 2007, the Board of Directors declared a dividend
of one preferred share purchase right, or a Right, for each outstanding share of
common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company. The dividend was
payable on March 23, 2007 to the stockholders of record on that date. Each Right
entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth
of a share of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per
share, or the Preferred Shares, at a price of $100.00 per one one-thousandth of
a Preferred Share, subject to adjustment. The description and terms of the
Rights are set forth in a Rights Agreement between the Company and American
Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as Rights Agent dated April 11, 2007.
  Data Center
Expansion.On June 12, 2007, we announced that we approved an investment of up to
$40.0 million to fund the expansion of our data center facilities in several key
markets. We anticipate implementing the expansion over the next several calendar
quarters, with at least a portion of the funding to be provided under our credit
agreement, discussed below. Through December 31, 2007, we have spent less than
$10.0 million.
  Credit Agreement.On September 14, 2007, we entered into a $35.0 million credit agreement.
We discuss this agreement in note 10 to the consolidated financial statements
and the section captioned “Liquidity and Capital Resources” under “Item 2.
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations.”  At December 31, 2007, the outstanding balance was $19.8
million, of which we used $4.4 million to repay prior debt, approximately $7.8
million for capital expenditures and the balance for general corporate and other
purposes.  The availability under the revolving credit facility and
term loan was $1.1 million and $10.0 million, respectively at December 31,
2007.
 
 35
  Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
 The
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are
based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make
estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
revenue, and expense, and related disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those
summarized below. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various
other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances,
the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying
values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other
sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under
different assumptions or conditions.
 
 Management
believes the following critical accounting policies affect the judgments and
estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial
statements.
 
 Revenue
recognition. The
majority of our revenue is derived from high performance IP services, related
data center services, CDN services, and other ancillary products and services
throughout the United States. Our IP services revenue is derived from the sale
of high performance Internet connectivity services at fixed rates or usage-based
pricing to our customers that desire a DS-3 or faster
connection.  Slower T-1 and fractional DS-3 connections are provided
at fixed rates.  Data center revenue includes both physical space for
hosting customers’ network and other equipment plus associated services such as
redundant power and network connectivity, environmental controls and
security.  Data center revenue is based on occupied square feet and
both allocated and variable-based usage.  CDN revenue includes three
components, none of which are sold separately: (1) data storage; (2)
streaming/delivery and (3) a user interface/reporting tool.  We
provide the CDN service components via internally developed and acquired
technology that resides on our network.  CDN revenue is based on
either fixed rates or usage-based pricing.  All of the foregoing
revenue arrangements have contractual terms and in many instances, include
minimum usage commitments.  Other ancillary products and services
include our Flow Control Platform, or FCP, product, server management and
installation, virtual private networking, managed security, data backup, remote storage and
restoration.
  We
recognize revenue in accordance with the Securities
and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104,Revenue Recognition,or
SAB No. 104,and
the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s,
orFASB,Emerging
Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-21,Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,
or EITF No. 00-21.Revenue
is recognizedwhen persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the
product or service has been delivered, the fees are fixed or determinable and
collectibility is probable. For most of our IP, data center and CDN
revenue, services are delivered ratably over the contract term. Contracts and
sales or purchase orders are used to determine the existence of an arrangement.
We test for availability or connectivity to verify delivery of our services. We
assess whether the fee is fixed or determinable based on the payment terms
associated with the transaction and whether the sales price is subject to refund
or adjustment.  Because the software component of our FCP is more than
incidental to the product as a whole, we recognize associated FCP revenue in
accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ (AICPA)
Statement of Position 97-2, Software
Revenue Recognition.
  We
derive revenue from the sale ofIP services, data center services andCDN services to customers
under contracts that generally commit the customer to a minimum monthly level of
usage on a calendar month basis and provide the rate at which the customer must
pay for actual usage above the monthly minimum. For these services, we recognize
the monthly minimum as revenue each month provided that an enforceable contract
has been signed by both parties, the service has been delivered to the customer,
the fee for the service is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably
assured. Should a customer’s usage of our services exceed the monthly minimum,
we recognize revenue for such excess in the period of the usage. We record the
installation fees as deferred revenue and recognize as revenue ratably over the
estimated life of the customer arrangement. We also derive revenue from services
sold as discrete, non-recurring events or based solely on usage. For these
services, we recognize revenue after both parties have signed an enforceable
contract, the fee is fixed or determinable, the event or usage has occurred and
collection is reasonably assured.
 
 36
  Wealsoenter into multiple-element arrangements
or bundled services, such as combiningIP serviceswith data center,CDN servicesor both.  When we enter into such arrangements,
we account for each element
separately over its respective service period or at the time of delivery,
provided that there is objective evidence of fair value for the separate
elements. Objective evidence of fair value includes the price charged for the
element when sold separately. If we cannot objectively determine the fair value
of each element, we recognize the total value of the arrangement ratably over
the entire service period to the extent that we have begun to provide the
services, and other revenue recognition criteria have been
satisfied.
  Deferred
revenue consists of revenue for services to be delivered in the future and
consist primarily of advance billings, which are amortized over the respective
service period. Revenue associated with billings for installation of customer
network equipment are deferred and amortized over the estimated life of the
customer relationship, which was two to three years for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31, 2007.  Revenue for installation
services is deferred and amortized because the installation service is integral
to our primary service offering and does not have value to a customer on a
stand-alone basis. Deferred post-contract customer support associated with sales
of our FCP solution and similar products are amortized ratably over the contract
period, which is generally one year.
  Customer
credit risk.
We routinely review the creditworthiness of our customers. If we determine that
collection of service revenue is uncertain, we do not recognize revenue
until collection  is probable. Additionally, we maintain allowances
for doubtful accounts resulting from the inability of our customers to make
required payments on accounts receivable. The allowance for doubtful accounts is
based upon specific and general customer information, which also includes
estimates based on management's best understanding of the customer’s ability to
pay. A customer’s ability to pay takes into consideration payment history, legal
status (i.e., bankruptcy) and the status of services we are
providing.  Once we have exhausted all collection efforts, we write the
uncollectible balance off against the allowance for doubtful accounts.
  We record
an amount for sales adjustments, which reduces net accounts receivable and
revenue. The amount for sales adjustments is based upon specific and general
customer information, including outstanding promotional credits, customer
disputes, credit adjustments not yet processed through the billing system, and
historical activity.
  Accounting
for leases and leasehold improvements.
We record leases as capital or operating leases and account for leasehold
improvements in accordance with SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases” and related
literature. We record rent expense for operating leases in accordance with FASB
Technical Bulletin (FTB) No. 88-1, “Issues Relating to Accounting
for Leases.” This FTB requires lease agreements that include periods of free
rent or other incentives, specific escalating lease payments, or both, to be
recorded on a straight-line or other systematic basis over the initial lease
term and those renewal periods that are reasonably assured. The difference
between rent expense and rent paid is recorded as deferred rent in non-current
liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.
 
 Investments. We account for investments
without readily determinable fair values at historical cost, as determined by
our initial investment. The recorded value of cost-basis investments is
periodically reviewed to determine the propriety of the recorded basis. When a
decline in the value that is judged to be other than temporary has occurred,
based on available data, the cost basis is reduced and an investment loss is
recorded. We incurred a charge during the three months ended June 30, 2007,
totaling $1.2 million, representing the write-off of the remaining carrying
value of our investment in series D preferred stock of Aventail Corporation, or
Aventail. See note 6 to the consolidated financial statements for further
discussion of this investment and the recorded loss.
 
 37
  We
account for investments that provide us with the ability to exercise significant
influence, but not control, over an investee using the equity method of
accounting. Significant influence, but not control, is generally deemed to exist
if we have an ownership interest in the voting stock of the investee of between
20% and 50%, although other factors, such as minority interest protections, are
considered in determining whether the equity method of accounting is
appropriate. As of December 31, 2007, Internap Japan Co, Ltd. (Internap Japan),
our joint venture with NTT-ME Corporation of Japan and NTT Holdings, qualifies
for equity method accounting. We record our proportional share of the income and
losses of Internap Japan one month in arrears on the consolidated balance sheets
as a component of non-current investments and asa separate caption on
the consolidated statement of operations.
 
 Pursuant
to our formal investment policy, investments in marketable securities include
high credit quality corporate debt securities, auction rate securities,
commercial paper, and U.S. Government Agency debt securities. Auction rate
securities are variable rate bonds tied to short-term interest rates with
maturities on the face of the securities in excess of 90 days and have interest
rate resets through a modified Dutch auction, at predetermined short-term
intervals, usually every 7, 28 or 35 days.  Auction rate securities
generally trade at par and are callable at par on any interest payment date at
the option of the issuer.  Interest received during a given period is
based upon the interest rate determined through the auction
process.  Although these securities are issued and rated as long term
bonds, they are priced and traded as short-term instruments because of the
liquidity provided through the interest rate reset. All of our marketable
securities are classified as available for sale and are recorded at fair value
with changes in fair value reflected in other comprehensive income.
 
 Goodwill.
We account for goodwill under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets.” This statement requires an impairment-only approach to accounting for
goodwill. The SFAS No. 142 goodwill impairment model is a two-step process. As a
first step, it requires a comparison of the book value of net assets to the fair
value of the related operations that have goodwill assigned to them. If the fair
value is determined to be less than book value, a second step is performed to
compute the amount of the impairment. In this process, a fair value for goodwill
is estimated, based in part on the fair value of the operations used in the
first step, and is compared to the carrying value for goodwill. Any shortfall of
the fair value below carrying value represents the amount of goodwill
impairment. SFAS No. 142 requires goodwill to be tested for impairment annually
at the same time every year and when an event occurs or circumstances change
such that it is reasonably possible that impairment may exist. We selected
August 1 as our annual testing date. We also assess on a quarterly basis whether
any events have occurred or circumstances have changed that would indicate an
impairment could exist.
  Accruals for
disputed telecommunication costs. In delivering our services,
we rely on a number of Internet network, telecommunication and other vendors. We
work directly with these vendors to provision services such as establishing,
modifying or discontinuing services for our customers. Because of the volume of
activity, billing disputes inevitably arise. These disputes typically stem from
disagreements concerning the starting and ending dates of service, quoted rates,
usage, and various other factors. For potential billing errors made in the
vendor’s favor, for example a duplicate billing, we initiate a formal dispute
with the vendor and record the related cost and liability on a range of 5% to
100% of the disputed amount, depending on our assessment of the likely outcome
of the dispute. Conversely, for billing errors in our favor, such as the
vendor’s failure to invoice us for new service, we record an estimate for the
related cost and liability based on the full amount that we should have been
invoiced. Disputed costs, both in the vendors’ favor and our favor, are
researched and discussed with vendors on an ongoing basis until ultimately
resolved. Estimates are periodically reviewed by management and modified in
light of new information or developments, if any. Conversely, any resolved
disputes that will result in a credit over the disputed amounts are recognized
in the appropriate month when the resolution has been determined. Because
estimates regarding disputed costs include assessments of uncertain outcomes,
such estimates are inherently vulnerable to changes due to unforeseen
circumstances that could materially and adversely affect our consolidated
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
 Accrued
liabilities.
Similar to accruals for disputed telecommunications costs above, it is necessary
for us to estimate other significant costs such as utilities and sales, use,
telecommunications, and other taxes. These estimates are often necessary either
because invoices for services are not received on a timely basis from our
vendors or by virtue of the complexity surrounding the costs. In every instance
in which an estimate is necessary, we record the related cost and liability
based on all available facts and circumstances, including but not limited to
historical trends, related usage, forecasts, and quotes. Management periodically
reviews and modifies estimates in light of new information or developments, if
any. Because estimates regarding accrued liabilities include assessments of
uncertain outcomes, such estimates are inherently vulnerable to changes due to
unforeseen circumstances that could materially and adversely affect our results
of operations and cash flows.
 
 38
  Restructuring
liability. When
circumstances warrant, we may elect to exit certain business activities or
change the manner in which we conduct ongoing operations. When we make such a
change, management will estimate the costs to exit a business or restructure
ongoing operations. The components of the estimates may include estimates and
assumptions regarding the timing and costs of future events and activities that
represent management's best expectations based on known facts and circumstances
at the time of estimation. Management periodically reviews its restructuring
estimates and assumptions relative to new information, if any, of which it
becomes aware. Should circumstances warrant, management will adjust its previous
estimates to reflect what it then believes to be a more accurate representation
of expected future costs. Because management's estimates and assumptions
regarding restructuring costs include probabilities of future events, such
estimates are inherently vulnerable to changes due to unforeseen circumstances,
changes in market conditions, regulatory changes, changes in existing business
practices, and other circumstances that could materially and adversely affect
our results of operations. A 10% change in our restructuring estimates in a
future period, compared to the $10.1 million restructuring liability at December
31, 2007 would result in an $1.0 million expense or benefit in the statement of
operations during the period in which the change in estimate
occurred.
 
 Deferred
taxes.
We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount
that is more likely than not to be realized. Historically, we have
recorded a valuation allowance equal to our net deferred tax assets. Although we
consider the potential for future taxable income and ongoing prudent and
feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation
allowance, in the event we determine we would be able to realize our deferred
tax assets in the future in excess of our net recorded amount, an adjustment to
reduce the valuation allowance would increase income in the period such
determination was made.
 
 Forthe year ended December 31, 2007,the tax provision includes
a net benefit of $3.5 million related to the release ofthe valuation allowance associated withU.K.deferred taxassets. The gross amount ofU.K.deferred tax assets was $4.4 million,
which was offset by a reserve of $0.9 million. The net tax provision benefit of
$3.5 million reduced our loss for the year ended December 31,
2007.
 
 Thereduction invaluation allowance was due tothe existence ofsufficient positive
evidenceas of December 31,
2007to indicate thatournet operating lossesin theU.K.wouldmore likely than not be realized in the
future.Theevidenceprimarilyconsistsof the results of prior performancein theU.K.and the expectation of future
performance based on historical results.  Wewillcontinue to assessin the future the recoverability ofU.S.andother deferred tax assets, and whether or not the valuation
allowance should be reduced relative to theU.S.and other deferred tax assets outside
theU.K.
 
 Stock-based
compensation. We account for stock-based instruments issued to employees
in exchange for their services under the fair value recognition provisions of
SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” or SFAS No. 123R, and
related interpretations. Under SFAS No. 123R, share-based compensation cost is
measured at the grant date based on the calculated fair value of the award. The
expense is recognized over the employee’s requisite service period, generally
the vesting period of the award. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R on
January 1, 2006, we utilized the disclosure only provisions of SFAS No. 123,
“Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and accounted for stock-based
compensation plans under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB
Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related
interpretations. Accordingly, we did not recognize any expense for options to
purchase our common stock granted with an exercise price equal to fair market
value at the date of grant and did not recognize any expense in connection with
purchases under our employee stock purchase plans for any periods prior to
January 1, 2006.
 
 We
elected to adopt SFASNo.123R
using the modified prospectiveapplicationmethod.
Under thismethod, compensationcost
recognized during the period includes:(1) compensation cost for all
share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1,
2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the
original provisions of SFAS No.123
amortized over the awards’ vesting period, and (2) compensation cost
for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based
on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS
No.123R
amortized on a straight-line basis over the awards’ vesting period. The fair
value of stock options is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model with weighted average assumptions for the activity under
our stock plans. Option pricing model input assumptions such as expected term,
expected volatility, and risk-free interest rate, impact the fair value
estimate. Further, the forfeiture rate impacts the amount of aggregate
compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant
analysis and judgment to develop.
  39
  The
expected term represents the weighted average period of time that granted
options are expected to be outstanding, giving consideration to the vesting
schedules and our historical exercise patterns. Because our options are not
publicly traded, assumed volatility is based on the historical volatility of our
stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in
effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding to the expected life of
the options. We have also used historical data to estimate option exercises,
employee termination and stock option forfeiture rates. Changes in any of these
assumptions could materially impact our results of operations in the period the
change is made.
 
 Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
 
 In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS
No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,”or SFAS No. 157.SFAS No. 157 defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value undergenerally accepted accounting
principles, orGAAP, and
expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. In February
2008, the FASB issuedStaff
Position, or FSP,FAS
157-1, which provides supplemental guidance on the application of SFAS
No. 157, and FSP FAS 157-2, which delays the effective date of SFAS
No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities. We are
currently in the process of evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS
No. 157 will have on our financial position, results of operations and cash
flows.
 
 In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS
No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities,”or SFAS NO. 159.SFAS No. 159 permits companies to
choose to measure, on an instrument-by-instrument basis, many financial
instruments and certain other assets and liabilities at fair value that are not
currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 159 is effective
as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007.
While we will not elect to adopt fair value accounting to any assets or
liabilities allowed by SFAS No. 159, we are currently in the process of
evaluating SFAS No. 159 and its potential impact to us.
 
 In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS
No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations,”orSFAS No. 141R. SFAS No. 141R
replaces SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” SFASNo.141R establishes principles and
requirements for how an acquiror recognizes and measures in its
financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed,
any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree,and the goodwill acquired or a gain
from a bargain purchase. SFAS No. 141R also determines disclosure
requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the
business combination. SFAS
No. 141Rapplies
prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or
after the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or after December 15,
2008 andhasimplications for acquisitions that occur
prior to this date. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact
that the adoption of SFASNo. 141Rwill have on
our financial position, results of operations and cash
flows.
 
 In December 2007, the FASB issued
SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements,” or SFAS No.
160.SFAS No. 160
amendsAccounting Research
Bulletin51,“Consolidated Financial
Statements,”or ARB 51,and requires all entities to report
noncontrolling (minority) interests in subsidiaries within equity in the
consolidated financial statements, but separate from the parent shareholders’
equity. SFAS No. 160 also requires any acquisitions or dispositions of
noncontrolling interests that do not result in a change of control to be
accounted for as equity transactions. Further, SFAS No. 160 requires that a
parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is
deconsolidated. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or
after December 15, 2008. Wedo not expectthe adoption of SFAS No. 160 will
havea significant, if any,
impact onour financial
position, results of
operations and cash flows.

  Results of Operations
 
 Revenues.
Revenues are generated primarily from the sale of IP services, data center
services and CDN services. Our revenues typically consist of monthly recurring
revenues from contracts with terms of one year or more. These contracts usually
have fixed minimum commitments based on a certain level of usage with additional
charges for any usage over a specified limit. We also provide premise-based
route optimization products and other ancillary services, such as server
management and installation services, virtual private networking services,
managed security services, data back-up, remote
storage, restoration services, and professional services.
 
 Direct costs of
network, sales and services.Direct costs of network, sales and services
are comprised primarily of:
 
 ·
              
              costs
      for connecting to and accessing Internet network service providers, or
      ISPs, and competitive local exchangeproviders;·
              
              facility
      and occupancy costs for housing and operating our and our customers’
      network equipment;·
              
              costs
      of license fees for operating systems software, advertising royalties to
      content rights owners and advertisingdistribution
      costs;·
              
              costs
      incurred for providing additional third party services to our customers;
      and·
              
              costs
      of FCP solutions sold.
 To the
extent a network access point is located a distance from the respective ISP, we
may incur additional local loop charges on a recurring basis. Connectivity costs
vary depending on customer demands and pricing variables while network access
point facility costs are generally fixed in nature. Direct costs of network,
sales and services do not include compensation, depreciation or
amortization.
 
 Direct costs of
amortization of acquired technologies. Direct costs of amortization of
acquired technologies are for technologies acquired through business
combinations that are an integral part of the services and products we sell. The
cost of the acquired technologies is amortized over original lives of three to
eight years.
 
 Direct costs of
customer support. Direct costs of customer support consist primarily of
compensation and other personnel costs for employees engaged in connecting
customers to our network, installing customer equipment into network access
point facilities, and servicing customers through our network operations
centers. In addition, facilities costs associated with the network operations
center are included in direct costs of customer support.
 
 Product
development costs.Product development costs consist principally of
compensation and other personnel costs, consultant fees and prototype costs
related to the design, development and testing of our proprietary technology,
enhancement of our network management software and development of internal
systems. Costs for software to be sold, leased or otherwise marketed are
capitalized upon establishing technological feasibility and ending when the
software is available for general release to customers. Costs associated with
internal use software are capitalized when the software enters the application
development stage until the software is ready for its intended use. All other
product development costs are expensed as incurred.
 
 Sales and
marketing costs.Sales and marketing costs consist of compensation,
commissions and other costs for personnel engaged in marketing, sales and field
service support functions, as well as advertising, tradeshows, direct response
programs, new service point launch events, management of our web site, and other
promotional costs.
 
 General and
administrative costs.General and administrative costs consist primarily
of compensation and other expense for executive, finance, human resources and
administrative personnel, professional fees, and other general corporate
costs.

 Segment
information. We have three business segments: IP services, data center
services and CDN services. IP services include managed and premise-based high
performance IP and route optimization technologies. Data center services include
hosting of customer applications directly on our network to eliminate issues
associated with the quality of local connections. Data center services are
increasingly bundled with our high performance IP connectivity services. CDN
services include products and services for storing, delivering and monetizing
digital media to large global audiences over the Internet. Prior to our
acquisition of VitalStream on February 20, 2007, we did not offer proprietary
CDN services, but instead, we were a reseller of third party CDN services
for which revenues and direct costs are included in other revenues and direct
costs of network, sales and services, discussed below.
 
 42
  Our
reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products
and services. As of December 31, 2007, our customer base
totaled approximately 3,800 customers across more than 20 metropolitan
markets.
 
 IP
services. Revenue for IP services increased $10.1 million, or 9%, to
$119.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to $109.7 million
for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase in IP revenue is driven by an
increase in demand, partially offset by a decline in pricing, and an increase in
sales of our premise-based FCP products and other large hardware sales. We
continue to experience increasing demand for our traditional IP services, with
IP traffic for the year ended December 31, 2007 increasing approximately 35%
from the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase in IP traffic has resulted
from both existing and new customers requiring greater overall capacity due to
growth in the usage of their applications, as well as in the nature of
applications consuming greater amounts of bandwidth. In particular, we have
continued to add high-traffic customers through competitive IP pricing and
minimum commitments during the year ended December 31, 2007. New IP services
customers added approximately $1.7 million of revenue. Ongoing industry-wide
pricing declines over the last 12 months, however, offset a portion of our gains
in customers and IP traffic. The blended rate in megabits per second, orMbps, decreased
approximately 23% annually from December 31, 2006 to December 31, 2007. We
recorded approximately $0.5 million of sales adjustments in the fourth quarter
of 2007 related predominantly to disputes over contractual service
periods.
 Revenue
for IP services increased $4.7 million, or 5%, to $109.7 million for the year
ended December 31, 2006, compared to $105.0 million for the year ended December
31, 2005. This change is due to the increase in demand for IP traffic, partially
offset by declining prices. During the year ended December 31, 2006, IP traffic
over our networks increased approximately 83% from the year ended December 31,
2005. The increase in IP traffic has come as both existing and new customers
require greater overall capacity due to growth in the usage of their
applications as well as in the nature of applications consuming greater amounts
of bandwidth. In particular, we added a number of high-traffic customers through
competitive IP pricing and minimum commitments during the year ended December
31, 2006.
 
 Data center
services. Data center services are a significant source of revenue growth
for our business. Revenue for data center services increased $26.9 million, or
48%, to $83.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to $56.2
million for the year ended December 31, 2006. During the year ended December 31,
2007, we (1) implemented a broad-based rate increase, generating additional
revenue of approximately $8.0 million, (2) began executing a data center growth
initiative and (3) completed the build-out of our Seattle
facility.  The overall increase in revenue has resulted from both new
and existing customers, with new customers adding approximately $1.7 million of
revenue during 2007. The remaining increase is largely due to existing customers
using more space within our facilities, and the design and installation revenue
from new customers.We
have also structured our data center business to accommodate larger, global
customers and ensure a platform for robust traffic growth.
 
 Revenue
for data center services increased $19.2 million, or 52%, to $56.2 million for
the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $37.0 million for the year ended
December 31, 2005. The revenue increase is primarily attributable to growth in
new and existing data center customers. Revenue growth is facilitated in part by
the continued expansion of our available data center space and our continued
efforts to bundle our IP and data center services. The demand for data center
services has outpaced industry-wide supply, which has allowed us to increase the
overall pricing for the data center component of our pricing
models.
 
 CDN
services. Revenue for our CDN services segment was $17.7 million for the
year ended December 31, 2007. This activity represents the operations from our
acquisition of VitalStream, which we completed on February 20,
2007. Revenue for the year was slightly lower than originally anticipated as we
completed the integration of the VitalStream business with and into our network
and infrastructure.  As previously noted, we did not offer proprietary
CDN services prior to our acquisition of VitalStream, but instead, we were a
reseller of third party CDN services, which is included in Other revenue,
below. We expect CDN to be an area of significant growth and have upgraded and
expanded related infrastructure, including in Europe and Asia, to serve the
expected industry-wide demand, particularly in those regions. In December 2007,
we extended our 100% uptime SLA to CDN services. I n the
second half of 2007, the Company experienced platform instability in its CDN
business, which caused an increase in customer dissatisfaction and a higher than
historical amount of customer disputes over service billings. In the fourth
quarter of 2007, we recorded a total of appoximately $1.4 million in sales and
billing adjustments related to both service interruptions and disputes over
contractual service periods. These sales and  billing adjustments have been
recorded against revenue. We have substantially completed integrating our
combined networks through technological improvements and systems integration
with operational stability achieved late in the year and expect this integration
to result in a decrease in performance-related adjustments in 2008.
  43
  Other.
Otherrevenues primarily include reseller and miscellaneous services such
as third party CDN services, termination fee revenue, referral fees for other
hardware sales, and consulting services. Other revenues decreased substantially
as the revenue streams from our acquisition of VitalStream replaced the activity
of the former third party CDN service provider.
  Direct
Costs of Network, Sales and Services (exclusive of depreciation and
amortization)
  IP
services. Direct costs of IP network, sales and services, exclusive of
depreciation and amortization, increased $3.9 million, or 10%, to $43.7 million
for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to $39.7 million for the year
ended December 31, 2006. For the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the
year ended December 31, 2005, the related direct costs increased $1.4 million,
or 4%, to $39.7 million as of December 31, 2006, compared to $38.4 million as of
December 31, 2005. While IP services revenue has increased, the
direct costs of IP network, sales and services has continued to be approximately
36% of IP services revenue for each of the last three years, even as we have had
a change in the mix of revenue with traditionally higher margin IP services,
lower margin high volume customers, and FCP and other hardware
sales.  Connectivity costs vary based upon customer traffic and other
demand-based pricing variables. Costs for IP services are especially subject to
ongoing negotiations for pricing and minimum commitments. As our IP traffic
continues to grow, we expect to have greater bargaining power for lower
bandwidth rates and more opportunities to proactively manage network costs, such
as utilization and traffic optimization among network service
providers.
  Data
center services. The direct costs of data center services, exclusive of
depreciation and amortization, increased $13.0 million, or 28%, to $59.4 million
for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to $46.5 million for the year
ended December 31, 2006. For the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the
year ended December 31, 2005, the related direct costs increased $11.2 million,
or 32%, to $46.5 million as of December 31, 2006, compared to $35.2 million as
of December 31, 2005. As data center services revenue has increased, direct
costs of data center services as a percentage of corresponding revenue have
decreased to approximately 72%, 83% and 95% for the year ended December 31,
2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. This trend is the result of an increase in
total occupancy at higher rates, as discussed with revenues above, while
substantial direct costs are subject to previously negotiated
rates.  Direct costs of data center services, exclusive of
depreciation and amortization, have substantial fixed cost components, primarily
for rent, but also significant demand-based pricing variables, such as
utilities, which are highest in the summer for cooling the
facilities.
  The
growth in data center services largely follows our expansion of data center
space. The demand for data center services is outpacing industry-wide supply,
which contributes to our improvement of data center direct costs as a percentage
of data center revenue. At December 31, 2007, we had approximately 179,000
square feet of data center space with a utilization rate of approximately
75%, as compared to approximately 149,000 square feet of data center space
with a utilization rate of approximately 79% at December 31, 2006. At December
31, 2005, we had approximately 124,000 square feet of data center space with a
utilization rate of approximately 76%. Our recent data center expansion has
resulted in the lower utilization rate as of December 31, 2007 compared to
December 31, 2006. However, the recent expansion should provide us lower costs
per occupied square foot in future periods, enabling us to increase revenue
compared to relatively lower direct costs of data center services.  At
December 31, 2007, 104,000 square feet, or approximately 58% of total square
feet, was in data centers operated by us versus data centers operated by our
vendors, or partner sites. Additionally, approximately 62% of our available
square feet as of December 31, 2007 are in data centers operated by
us.
  CDN
services. Direct costs of network, sales and services, exclusive of
depreciation and amortization, for our CDN services segment were $6.6 million
for the year ended December 31, 2007. Direct costs of CDN network, sales and
serviceswere approximately 37% of CDN services revenue for the year
ended December 31, 2007, which was a little more favorable than our initial
expectations. This activity represents the operations from our acquisition of
VitalStream, which was completed on February 20, 2007. The direct costs include
the benefit of lower rates throughout the year as we have migrated VitalStream’s
former contracts and terms to our own. Direct costs of CDN network sales and
services also includes an allocation of $0.7 million from direct costs of IP
network sales and services based on the average cost of actual usage by the CDN
segment.  As previously noted, we did not offer proprietary CDN
services prior to our acquisition of VitalStream, but instead, we were a
reseller of third party CDN services, which is included in Other direct
costs, below. We expect CDN to be an area of significant growth and are
expanding related infrastructure, including in Europe and Asia, to serve the
expected industry-wide demand, particularly in those regions.
 
 44
  Other.
Other direct costs of network, sales and services, exclusive of depreciation and
amortization primarily include reseller and miscellaneous services such as third
party CDN services and consulting services. These costs decreased substantially
as the revenue streams from our acquisition of VitalStreamreplaced the
activity of the former third party CDN service provider.
 Other
Operating Expenses
 
 Other
than direct costs of network, sales and services, compensation and
facilities-related costs have the most pervasive impact on operating
expenses.  Compensation and benefits comprise the largest expenses
after direct costs of network, sales and services. Cash-basis compensation and
benefits increased $12.0 million to $53.4 million for the year ended December
31, 2007 from $41.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. Stock-based
compensation increased $2.8 million to $8.7 million for the year ended December
31, 2007 from $5.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. All of the
increases in compensation and benefits are primarily due to increased headcount,
largely attributable to the additional employees resulting from the VitalStream
acquisition.  For the year ended December 31, 2007, the additional
VitalStream employees accounted for $6.6 million of the increase in cash-basis
compensation and $1.3 million of the increase in stock-based compensation.
Compensation also increased due to the hiring of other employees throughout the
Company, including at the senior management level. Total headcount increased to
420 at December 31, 2007 compared to 330 at December 31, 2006.
 
 As
discussed in note 2 of the consolidated financial statements, we adopted SFAS
No. 123R on January 1, 2006. Accordingly, total operating costs and expense and
net income for 2007 and 2006 includes stock-based compensation expense in the
following amounts:

 Total
unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested stock-based compensation
as of December 31, 2007 was $26.9 million with a weighted-average remaining
recognition period of 2.8 years.
 
 Cash-basis
compensation and benefits decreased $1.5 million to $41.4 million for the year
ended December 31, 2006 from $42.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2005,
which reflects a net decrease in salaries and wages and a decrease in employee
benefits, partially offset by a net increase in commissions. The decreases in
compensation and benefits reflect a consistent headcount of approximately 330
full-time employees for both 2006 and 2005, but favorable experience on
self-insured medical claims in 2006, while the increase in commissions is
revenue driven. Compensation for the year ended December 31, 2006 also includes
an increase of $1.8 million in employee bonuses over the year ended December 31,
2005.
 
 Prior to
the adoption of SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006, we utilized the
disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123 and accounted for stock-based
compensation plans under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB
Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations. Accordingly, we did not recognize
any expense for options to purchase our common stock with an exercise price
equal to fair market value at the date of grant for any periods prior to January
1, 2006.
 
 45
  Pro forma
stock-based compensation expense as previously reported for 2005 was $9.7
million. The decrease of $3.8 million in recorded stock-based compensation
expense for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the pro forma
stock-based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2005 is due
primarily to cancellations of outstanding stock options and the difference
between estimated and actual forfeitures. SFAS No. 123R requires compensation
expense to be recorded net of estimated forfeitures with a subsequent adjustment
to reflect actual forfeitures as they occur. Previously, forfeitures of unvested
stock options were accounted for on a pro forma basis as they were incurred,
generally resulting in higher pro forma stock compensation than under the
current provisions of SFAS No. 123R. In addition, a significant number of
unvested stock options were forfeited upon the resignation of Mr. Gregory
Peters, our former Chief Executive Officer, thus reducing the number of
outstanding stock options for determining comparative stock-based compensation
expense for the year ended December 31, 2006.
 
 Overall,
facility and related costs, including repairs and maintenance, communications
and office supplies but excluding direct costs of network, sales and services,
increased $1.0 million, or 17%, to $7.0 million for the year ended December 31,
2007 compared to $6.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase
is primarily due to $0.7 million of VitalStream post-acquisition operating
costs.
  Facility and related costs
decreased $0.9 million, or 13%, to $6.0 million for the year ended December 31,
2006 compared $6.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. Facility costs
decreased $0.7 million in sales and marketing and $0.9 million in general and
administrative primarily through consolidation and cost containment
efforts.
 
 Other
significant operating costs are discussed with the financial statement captions
below:
 
 Direct
costs of amortization of acquired technologies
 
 Direct
costs of amortization of acquired technologies increased $3.7 million from $0.5
million for the year ended December 31, 2006 to $4.2 million for the year ended
December 31, 2007. The increase in amortization expense is due to the
amortization of the post-acquisition intangible technology assets of
VitalStream.
 
 Direct costs of
customer support
 
 Direct
costs of customer support increased 43% from $11.6 million for the year ended
December 31, 2006 to $16.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. The
increase of more than $4.9 million was primarily due to compensation of
employees and facilities-related costs as discussed above. VitalStream employees
accounted for $1.7 million of added cash-basis compensation and benefits and
$0.5 million of additional stock-based compensation for the year ended December
31, 2007. Other increases in cash-basis and stock-based compensation amounted to
$1.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively, whereas facilities-related costs
increased $0.6 million.
 
 Direct
costs of customer support increased 8% from $10.7 million for the year ended
December 31, 2005 to $11.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The
increase of $0.9 million was primarily due to increases in costs related to
stock-based compensation of $1.1 million, offset by decreased compensation and
employee benefits of $0.7 million, as discussed above. In addition, facilities
and related expenses increased $0.7 million based on more accurate data for
allocation of costs, primarily from sales and marketing.
 
 Product
development
 
 Product
development costs for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased 47% to $6.6
million from $4.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase of
$2.1 million is primarily attributable to the addition of VitalStream employees
and facilities-related costs. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the
additional VitalStream employees accounted for $1.0 million of additional
cash-basis compensation and benefits costs and $0.3 million of additional
stock-based compensation costs. In addition, facilities-related costs amounted
to $0.3 million of this increase.
 
 46
  Product
development costs for the year ended December 31, 2006 decreased 8% to $4.5
million from $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The decrease of
$0.4 million is attributable to decreases in costs related to compensation and
employee benefits of $0.5 million, outside professional services of $0.5 million
and training expenses of $0.1 million. The decreases were offset by an increase
in stock-based compensation expense of $0.6 million for the year ended December
31, 2006, as discussed above. The decrease in compensation and employee benefits
partially reflects the redeployment of technical resources from product support
to internal network support, which is accounted for in general and
administrative expense. The decrease in outside professional services is
primarily due to a specific project in 2005.
 
 Sales
and marketing
 
 Sales and
marketing costs for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased 16% to $31.5
million from $27.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase of
more than $4.3 million is primarily comprised of VitalStream employee costs.
Cash-basis compensation, benefits and commissions related to VitalStream
employees accounted for $2.8 million and stock-basis compensation for these
employees amounted to $0.4 million for the year ended December 31,
2007.
 
 Sales and
marketing costs for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased 5% to $27.2
million from $25.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The net
increase of $1.3 million was primarily due to increases in stock-based
compensation expense of $2.1 million and commissions of $1.6 million, offset by
decreases in compensation and employee benefits expenses of $1.4 million, all of
which were discussed above. Also, as discussed with direct costs of customer
support above, facilities and related expenses decreased $0.7 million largely
due to more accurate data allocations of expenses to direct costs of customer
support. Outside professional services decreased $0.3 million and travel,
entertainment and training expenses decreased $0.2 million. The decreases in
outside professional services and training are the result of better utilization
of internal resources while the decrease in travel and entertainment resulted
from an effort to reduce less-essential travel. All of these reductions were
partially offset by an increase of $0.3 million in marketing and advertising
efforts during the year ended December 31, 2006.
 
 General and
administrative
 
 General
and administrative costs for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased 47% to
$32.5 million from $22.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The
increase of $10.4 million is primarily due to increases in cash-basis
compensation and benefits, professional services and stock-based compensation.
Cash-basis compensation and benefits for the year ended December 31, 2007
increased $3.6 million, including $1.0 million for the additional VitalStream
employees. As discussed earlier, the other cause for the increase in cash-basis
compensation is the hiring of other employees throughout the Company, including
at the senior management level. The overall increase in head-count caused us to
accrue employee bonuses $0.3 million higher during 2007 than we did for 2006 and
caused higher self-insured medical claims of $0.6 million compared to 2006.
Professional services for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased $2.0
million primarily due to consultation fees on our information technology
systems, compliance activities for domestic and international tax and financial
statement requirements, recruiting fees and contract labor to fill a number of
open job requisitions, and legal fees, including those associated with new proxy
disclosure requirements and ongoing litigation. Bad debt expense increased
approximately $1.7 million to $2.2 million for the year ended December 31,
2007.  The increase in bad debt expense is due primarily to our
integration of VitalStream with their legacy customers causing bad debt expense
to be greater than our historical expense.  Stock-based compensation
costs increased $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 due to annual
grants of stock options and unvested restricted common stock to non-employee
directors, the stock options assumed in the VitalStream acquisition and initial
grants and awards to new members of senior management.
 
 General
and administrative costs for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased 10% to
$22.1 million from $20.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The
increase of $2.0 million primarily reflects a $2.4 million increase in taxes
(non-income based), licenses, fees, a $2.1 million increase in stock-based
compensation expense, and a $1.1 million increase in compensation and employee
benefits. These increases were offset by decreases in outside professional
services of $0.9 million, bad debt expense of $0.9 million, facility and related
expense of $0.9 million, a reduction of insurance and administrative expense of
$0.3 million, and a reduction of training expense of $0.2 million. Part of the
increase in cash-basis compensation and benefits is the redeployment of
technical resources from product support as noted under the caption product
development above.

 The increase in taxes, licenses and fees is principally related
to a March 2005 reduction in an accrual for an assessment of $1.4 million,
including interest and penalties, received in July 2004 from the New York State
Department of Taxation and Finance. The New York assessment resulted from an
audit of our state franchise tax returns for the years 2000-2002. In March 2005,
New York State Department of Taxation and Finance reduced the assessment to $0.1
million, including interest, and waived penalties.
 
 The
increases in compensation and benefits, including stock-based compensation, and
the decrease in facility-related costs are discussed above. In addition, the
decrease in outside professional services can be attributed to a number of
factors, including focused cost control and better utilization of internal
resources. Professional services for the year ended December 31, 2006 also
includes $0.6 million related to an abandoned corporate development
project.
 
 Restructuring
and asset impairment
 
 As
discussed in note 4 to the financial statements, we incurred a restructuring and
asset impairment charge of $10.3 million during the three months ended March 31,
2007. The charge was the result of a review of our business, particularly in
light of our acquisition of VitalStream and our plan to finalize the overall
integration and implementation plan before the end of the first quarter. The
charge to expense included $7.8 million for leased facilities, representing both
the costs less anticipated sublease recoveries that will continue to be incurred
without economic benefit to us and costs to terminate leases before the end of
their term. The charge also included severance payments of $1.1 million for the
termination of certain employees and $1.4 million for impairment of assets. Net
related expenditures were estimated to be $10.7 million, of which $2.8 million
has been paid during the year ended December 31, 2007, and the balance
continuing through December 2016, the last date of the longest lease
term.  These expenditures are expected to be paid out of operating
cash flows. Cost savings from the restructuring were estimated to be
approximately $0.8 million per year through 2016, primarily for rent
expense.
 
 We
incurred a $1.1 million impairment charge during the three months ended March
31, 2007 for the sales order-through-billing system, which was a result of an
evaluation of the existing infrastructure relative to our new financial
accounting system and the acquisition of VitalStream.
 
 Depreciation
and amortization
 
 For the
year ended December 31, 2007, depreciation and amortization, including other
intangible assets but excluding acquired technologies, increased 40% to $22.2
million compared to $15.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The
increase of $6.4 million primarily relates to post-acquisition depreciation and
amortization of VitalStream property and equipment and acquired amortizable
intangible assets, excluding amortization of acquired technologies. The
VitalStream property and equipment and acquired amortizable intangible assets
account for $5.8 million of the expense for the year ended December 31,
2007.  The remaining increase in depreciation and amortization relates
to the expansion of P-NAPs and on-going expansion of data center facilities. The
restructuring and asset impairment described above initially reduced
depreciation and amortization by approximately $0.4 million per year, decreasing
to $0 in 2009. The amortization of acquired technologies is included in its own
caption and discussed above.
 
 Depreciation
and amortization, including other intangible assets, for the year ended December
31, 2006 increased 8% to $15.9 million compared to $14.7 million for the year
ended December 31, 2005. The increase of $1.2 million was primarily attributed
to an increased depreciable base of assets as we upgraded our P-NAP facilities
and continue to expand our data center facilities.
  48
  Write-off
of investment
 
 We
incurred a charge of $1.2 million representing the write-off of the remaining
carrying value of our investment in series D preferred stock of Aventail
Corporation, or Aventail. We made an initial cash investment of $6.0 million in
Aventail series D preferred stock pursuant to an investment agreement in
February 2000. In connection with a subsequent round of financing by Aventail,
we recognized an initial loss on our investment of $4.8 million in 2001. On June
12, 2007, SonicWall, Inc. announced that it entered into an agreement to acquire
Aventail for approximately $25.0 million in cash. The transaction closed on July
11, 2007, and all shares of series D preferred stock were cancelled and the
holders of series D preferred stock did not receive any consideration for such
shares. The write-off is included in non-operating (income) expense in the
accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
 
 Income
taxes
 
 The
provision for income taxes was a net benefit of $3.1 million for the year ended
December 31, 2007 and expense of $0.1 million for the year ended December 31,
2006. Forthe year ended December 31, 2007,the tax provision includes
a $4.4 million benefit related to the release ofthevaluation allowance associated withourU.K.deferred tax assets.  TheU.K.benefit is offset by a reserve of $0.9
million and aU.S.deferred tax liability relating to the
VitalStream acquisition.

 Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
 Cash
Flows for the Years Ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005
 
 Net
cash from operating activities.
 
 Net cash
provided by operating activities was $27.6 million for the year ended December
31, 2007.  Our net loss, adjusted for non-cash items, generated cash
from operations of $32.1 million while changes in operating assets and
liabilities, excluding effects of the VitalStream acquisition, represented a use
of cash from operations of $4.5 million.  The primary non-cash
adjustment was $26.4 million for depreciation and amortization, which includes
the amortizable intangible assets acquired through the acquisition of
VitalStream on February 20, 2007 and the expansion of our P-NAP and data center
facilities throughout 2007. Non-cash adjustments also include $8.7 million for
stock-based compensation expense, which is discussed above in the section
captioned “Results of Operations.” The change in working capital includes an
increase in accounts receivable of $15.8 million. The increase in accounts
receivable results in quarterly days sales outstanding at December 31, 2007
increasing to 54 days from 38 days as of December 31, 2006. This
increase in accounts receivable is largely due to revenue growth and also, in
part, our day sales outstanding trending up from lower than historical levels at
December 31, 2006.  We have also experienced some collection delays on
certain larger, high credit quality customers that tend to pay over longer terms
and in conjunction with the migration of some former VitalStream and other
customers to Internap billing and systems platforms. We expect our quarterly
days sales outstanding to improve over the next several quarters. The change in
working capital also includes a net increase in accounts payable of $7.9 million
due to the growth of our business, primarily attributed to the acquisition of
VitalStream and our data center growth initiative. A portion of the increase is
also caused by the implementation near year-end of a new telecommunications
expense management system for our direct costs. We do not expect this
implementation to have an impact on our accounts payable balance in the future.
We anticipate continuing to generate cash flows from our results of operations,
that is net income (loss) adjusted for non-cash items and manage changes in
operating assets and liabilities towards a net $0 change over time in subsequent
periods.  We also expect to use cash flows from operating activities
to fund a portion of our capital expenditures and other requirements, to repay
our outstanding debt as it becomes due and to meet our other commitments and
obligations as they become due.
 
 49
  Net cash
provided by operating activities was $29.6 million for the year ended December
31, 2006, and was primarily due to net income of $3.7 million adjusted for
non-cash items of $25.4 million offset by changes in working capital items of
$0.5 million. The changes in working capital items include net use of cash for
accounts receivable of $1.7 million, inventory, prepaid expense and other assets
of $1.8 million, and accrued restructuring of $1.5 million. These were offset by
net sources of cash in accounts payable of $3.0 million, accrued liabilities of
$1.4 million and deferred revenue of $1.1 million. The increase in receivables
at December 31, 2006 compared to December 31, 2005 was related to the 18%
increase in revenue. Quarterly days sales outstanding at December 31, 2006
decreased to 38 days from 43 days as of December 31, 2005. The
increase in payables is primarily related to the timing of payments with the
2006 balance being consistent with our normal operating expenses and payment
terms.
 
 Net cash
provided by operating activities was $5.5 million for the year ended December
31, 2005, and was primarily due to the net loss of $5.0 million adjusted for
non-cash items of $19.7 million offset by changes in working capital items of
$9.3 million. The changes in working capital items include net use of cash for
accounts payable of $5.4 million, accounts receivable of $3.6 million, accrued
restructuring of $1.9 million, and $0.2 million of inventory, prepaid expense
and other assets. These were offset by net sources of cash in accrued
liabilities of $0.8 million and deferred revenue of $1.0 million. The increase
in receivables at December 31, 2005 compared to December 31, 2004 was related to
the 6% increase in revenue. The decrease in payables is primarily related to a
general decrease in expenses when compared to last year.
  Net cash from investing activities.
 
 Net cash
used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $36.4
million primarily due to capital expenditures of $30.3 million and net purchases
of short-term investments of $6.1 million. Our capital expenditures were
principally for the expansion of our data center facilities, CDN infrastructure
and upgrading our P-NAP facilities and were funded from both cash from
operations and borrowings from the new credit agreement we entered into on
September 14, 2007. We discuss the credit agreement in greater detail in the
section below captioned “Liquidity.”  Our forecast for capital
expenditures in 2008 ranges from $45 - $50 million.  However, our
credit agreement, discussed below, limits us to unfunded capital expenditures of
$25.0 million per year. Investing activities for the year ended December 31,
2007 also includes purchases and sales of auction rate securities. While we have
noted auction rate reset failures in the market and have experienced our own
auction rate reset failures subsequent to year-end, we do not expect to incur
any significant liquidity constraints in the current auction rate securities
market and anticipate that, based on the nature of the underlying assets, we
will be able to recover the full cost basis of the assets within one
year.
 
 Net cash
used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $10.4
million primarily due to capital expenditures of $13.4 million. Our capital
expenditures were principally for upgrading our P-NAP facilities and the
expansion of our data center facilities.
 
 Net cash
used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $9.4
million primarily due to capital expenditures of $10.2 million. Our capital
expenditures were principally comprised of leasehold improvements related to the
upgrade of several data center facilities.
 
 Net
cash from financing activities.
 
 Net cash
provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $15.2
million. Cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to proceeds
from note payable of $19.7 million, net of discount, and proceeds from stock
compensation plan activity of $8.6 million, partially offset by the repayment of
prior outstanding debt of $11.3 million and payments on capital leases of $1.6
million. The proceeds from note payable were a result of entering into the new
credit agreement on September 14, 2007.  As a result of these
activities, we had balances of $19.8 million in a note payable (net of discount)
and $1.3 million in capital lease obligations as of December 31, 2007 with $3.2
million in the note payable and capital leases scheduled as due within the next
12 months. While we anticipate funding a large portion of our capital
expenditures by drawing down on our credit facility, we expect to meet most of
our cash requirements, including repayment of debt as it becomes due, through
cash from operations, and as needed, cash on hand and short-term
investments.  We may also utilize our revolving line of credit if we
consider it economically favorable to do so.
 
 50
  Net cash
provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $2.0
million. Cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to proceeds
from stock options, employee stock purchase plan and exercise of warrants of
$6.8 million offset by principal payments on a note payable of $4.4 million and
payments on capital lease obligations of $0.5 million. As a result of these
activities, we had balances of $7.7 million in a note payable and $0.4 million
in capital lease obligations as of December 31, 2006 with $4.7 million in the
note payable and capital leases scheduled as due within the next 12
months.
 
 Net cash
used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $5.5
million. Cash used in financing activity included principal payments on notes
payable of $6.5 million and payments on capital lease obligations of $0.5
million. These payments were partially offset by proceeds received from the
exercise of stock options of $1.5 million. As a result of these activities, we
had balances of $12.0 million in notes payable and $0.8 million in capital lease
obligations as of December 31, 2005.
 
 Liquidity
 
 We
recorded a net loss of $5.6 million of the year ended December 31, 2007 and net
income of $3.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. As of December 31,
2007, our accumulated deficit was $862.0 million. Our net loss for the year
ended December 31, 2007 includes $13.0 million in charges for restructuring,
asset impairment, write-off of an investment, and acquired in-process research
and development, none of which we expect to incur on a regular basis. We cannot
guarantee that we will return to profitability given the competitive and
evolving nature of the industry in which we operate. We may not be able to
sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly basis, and our failure to do so
would adversely affect our business, including our ability to raise additional
funds.
  We expect
to meet our cash requirements in 2008 through a combination of net cash provided
by operating activities, existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments in marketable securities, and borrowings under our credit agreement,
especially for capital expenditures.  We expect to incur these capital
expenditures primarily for the expansion of our P-NAP and data center
facilities. We may also utilize our revolving line of credit, particularly if we
consider it economically favorable to do so. Our capital requirements depend
on a number of factors, including the continued market acceptance of our
services and products, the ability to expand and retain our customer base and
other factors. If our cash requirements vary materially from those currently
planned, if our cost reduction initiatives have unanticipated adverse effects on
our business or if we fail to generate sufficient cash flows from the sales of
our services and products, we may require greater or additional financing sooner
than anticipated. We can offer no assurance that we will be able to obtain
additional financing on commercially favorable terms, or at all, and provisions
in our existing credit agreement limit our ability to incur additional
indebtedness. We believe we have sufficient cash to operate our business for the
foreseeable future.
 
 Short-term
investments.Short-term investments primarily consist of high
credit quality corporate debt securities, auction rate securities whose
underlying assets are state-issued student and educational loans which are
substantially backed by the federal government, commercial paper, and U.S.
Government Agency debt securities. At December 31, 2007, our balance in
short-term investments was $19.6 million, of which $7.2 million were auction
rate securities carrying AAA/Aaa ratings as of December 31,
2007.  Auction rate securities are variable rate bonds tied to
short-term interest rates with maturities on the face of the securities in
excess of 90 days and have interest rate resets through a modified Dutch
auction, at predetermined short-term intervals, usually every 7, 28 or 35
days.  They generally trade at par and are callable at par on any
interest payment date at the option of the issuer.  Interest received
during a given period is based upon the interest rate determined through the
auction process.  Although these securities are issued and rated as
long-term bonds, they are priced and traded as short-term instruments because of
the liquidity provided through the interest rate reset.  We have also
noted auction rate reset failures in the market and have experienced our own
auction rate reset failures subsequent to year-end, however, we do not expect to
incur any significant liquidity constraints and anticipate that, based on the
nature of the underlying assets, we will be able to recover the full cost basis
of the assets within one year. We expect to hold the auction rate securities
until liquidity improves or the borrower calls the underlying securities. All
short-term investments either (1) have original maturities greater than 90 days
but less than one year or (2) are auction rate securities expected to be
liquidated within one year, are classified as available for sale, and reported
at fair value.
 
 51
  Credit agreement. On September 14, 2007, we entered into a $35.0 million credit
agreement, or the Credit Agreement, with Bank of America, N.A., as
administrative agent, and lenders who may become a party to the Credit Agreement
from time to time.  VitalStream Holdings, Inc., VitalStream, Inc.,
PlayStream, Inc., and VitalStream Advertising Services, Inc., four of our
subsidiaries, are guarantors of the Credit Agreement.
 
 The
Credit Agreement replaced the prior creditagreement, a $5.0 million
revolving credit facility and a $17.5 million term loan, which was evidenced by
a Loan and Security Agreement between the Company and Silicon Valley Bank that
was last amended on December 27, 2005.  We paid off and terminated
this prior credit  agreement concurrently with the execution of the Credit
Agreement.
 
 Our
obligations under the Credit Agreement are pledged, pursuant to a pledge and
security agreement and an intellectual property security agreement by a security
interest granted in substantially all of our assets including the capital stock
of our domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of our foreign
subsidiaries.
 
 The
Credit Agreement provides for a four-year revolving credit facility, or the
Revolving Credit Facility, in the aggregate amount of up to $5.0 million which
includes a $5.0 million sub-limit for letters of credit.  With the
prior approval of the administrative agent, we may increase the total
commitments by up to $15.0 million for a total commitment under the Revolving
Credit Facility of $20.0 million.  The Revolving Credit Facility is
available to finance working capital, capital expenditures and other general
corporate purposes. As December 31, 2007, no amounts were outstanding on the
Revolving Credit Facility.
 
 The
Credit Agreement also provides for a four-year term loan, or the Term Loan, in
the amount of $30.0 million.  We borrowed $20.0 million concurrently
with the closing and used a portion of the proceeds from the Term Loan to pay
off our prior credit facility.  We intend to use the remaining
proceeds to fund capital expenditures related to the expansion of our data
center facilities.
 
 The
interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan is a tiered
LIBOR-based rate that depends on our 12-month trailing EBITDA. As of December
31, 2007, the interest rate was 7.075%.
 
 We will
only pay interest on the Term Loan during the first 12 months of its four-year
term.  Commencing on the last day of the first calendar quarter after
the first anniversary of the closing, the outstanding amount of the Term Loan
will amortize on a straight-line schedule with the payment of 1/16 of the
original principal amount of the Term Loan due quarterly.  We will pay
all unpaid amounts at maturity, which is September 14, 2011.
 
 The
Credit Agreement includes customary representations, warranties, negative and
affirmative covenants, including certain financial covenants relating to net
funded debt to EBITDA ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio, as well as
customary events of default and certain default provisions that could result in
acceleration of the Credit Agreement.  As of December 31, 2007, we
werein compliance with the
financial and other covenants.
 
 The net
proceeds received from the Term Loan were reduced by $0.3 million for fees paid
to Bank of America and its agents. We treated these fees as a debt discount and
will amortize the fees to interest expense using the interest method over the
term of the loan. We recorded less than $0.1 million of related amortization
during the year ended December 31, 2007. As of December 31, 2007, the balance on
the Term Loan, net of the discount, was $19.8 million. We incurred other costs
of less than $0.1 million in connection with entering into the Credit Agreement,
which were recorded as debt issue costs and will amortize over the term of the
Credit Agreement.
 
 52
  As a
result of the transactions discussed above, we recorded a loss on extinguishment
of debt of less than $0.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2007. The
loss on extinguishment of debt is included in Other, net in the non-operating
(income) expense section of the consolidated statements of
operations.
 
 Also
during the year ended December 31, 2007, we paid off the term loans and line of
credit issued pursuant to the loan and security agreement assumed in the
VitalStream acquisition.
 
 Capital
leases. Our future minimum lease payments on remaining capital lease
obligations at December 31, 2007 totaled $1.4 million.
 
 Commitments and
other obligations. We have commitments and other obligations that are
contractual in nature and will represent a use of cash in the future unless
there are modifications to the terms of those agreements. Network commitments
primarily represent purchase commitments made to our largest bandwidth vendors
and contractual payments to license data center space used for resale to
customers. Our ability to improve cash used in operations in the future would be
negatively impacted if we do not grow our business at a rate that would allow us
to offset the service commitments with corresponding revenue
growth.
  
 The following table summarizes our credit obligations and future
contractual commitments as of December 31, 2007 (in thousands):

              As
      noted in the section captioned “Credit Agreement” under this Item 7, the
      interest rate on the Term Loan is a tiered LIBOR-based rate that depends
      on our 12-month trailing EBITDAas defined in the Credit Agreement.
      As of December 31, 2007, the interest rate was 7.075%. The projected
      interest included in the debt payments above incorporates this
      rate.
  Common
and preferred stock.Our
Certificate of Incorporation includes designation for 3.5 million shares of
preferred stock, which includes 0.5 million shares of series B preferred stock.
As of December 31, 2007, no shares of preferred stock were issued or
outstanding.
 
 We issued
approximately 12.2 million shares of our common stock to the former stockholders
of VitalStream in connection with the acquisition, which closed on February 20,
2007.
 
 On July
10, 2006, we implemented a one-for-ten reverse stock split and amended our
Certificate of Incorporation to reduce our authorized shares from 600 million to
60 million. We began trading on a post-reverse split basis on July 11, 2006. All
share and per share information herein (including shares outstanding, earnings
per share and warrant and stock option data) have been retroactively adjusted
for all periods presented to reflect this reverse split.

  In June
2006, our stockholders approved a measure to reprice certain outstanding options
under our existing equity incentive plans. Options with an exercise price per
share greater than or equal to $13.00 were eligible for the repricing. The
repricing was implemented through an exchange program under which eligible
participants were offered the opportunity to exchange their eligible options for
new options to purchase shares. Each new option had substantially the same terms
and conditions as the eligible options cancelled except as follows:

              The
      exercise price per share of each replacement option granted in the
      exchange offer was $14.46, the average of the closing prices of the common
      stock as reported by the American Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ Global
      Market, as applicable, for the 15 consecutive trading days ending
      immediately prior to the grant date of the replacement
      options;
  ·
              For
      all eligible options with an exercise price per share greater than or
      equal to $20.00, the exchange ratio was 1-for-2;
  and
  ·
              Each
      new option has a three-year vesting period, vesting in equal monthly
      installments over three years, so long as the grantee continues to be a
      full-time employee of the company and a ten-year
  term.
  Employees of the Company eligible to participate in the exchange
offer tendered, and we accepted for cancellation, eligible options to purchase
an aggregate of 344,987 shares of common stock, representing 49.4% of the total
shares of common stock underlying options eligible for exchange in the exchange
offer. We issued replacement options to purchase an aggregate of 179,043 shares
of common stock in exchange for the cancellation of the tendered eligible
options.
  As discussed
in note 15 to the consolidated financial statements, warrants to purchase
approximately 34,000 shares of our common stock at a weighted exercise price of
$9.50 per share were outstanding as of December 31, 2007.
 
 ITEM 7A.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
  Short-term
investments in marketable securities. Short-term investments primarily
consist of high credit quality corporate debt securities, auction rate
securities whose underlying assets are state-issued student and educational
loans which are substantially backed by the federal government, commercial
paper, and U.S. Government Agency debt securities. All of our investments have
original maturities greater than 90 days but less than one year, except for
investments in auction rate securities, further discussed below. All short-term
investments are classified as available for sale and reported at fair value. Due
to the short-term nature of our investments in marketable securities, we do not
believe there is any material exposure to market risk changes in interest
rates.   We estimate that a change in the effective yield of 100
basis points would change our interest income by less than $0.2 million per
year.
 
 Auction
rate securities are variable rate bonds tied to short-term interest rates with
maturities on the face of the securities in excess of 90 days and have interest
rate resets through a modified Dutch auction, at predetermined short-term
intervals, usually every 7, 28 or 35 days.  Auction rate securities
generally trade at par and are callable at par on any interest payment date at
the option of the issuer.  Interest received during a given period is
based upon the interest rate determined through the auction
process.  Although these securities are issued and rated as long term
bonds, they are priced and traded as short-term instruments because of the
liquidity provided through the interest rate resets.  Uncertainties in
the credit markets may affect the liquidity of our holdings in auction rate
securities.  We did not experience any unsuccessful auction rate
resets during the year ended or the initial rate resets immediately following
December 31, 2007, however, we have experienced failures on each of our
subsequent auction rate resets.  Nevertheless, we continue to receive
interest every 28-35 days. While our investments are of high credit quality, at
this time we are uncertain as to whether or when the liquidity issues relating
to these investments will worsen or improve. We do not expect to incur any
significant liquidity constraints and anticipate that, based on the nature of
the underlying assets, we will be able to recover the full cost basis of the
assets within one year.  Therefore, we do not believe that adjusting
the fair value of our portfolio of auction rate securities is necessary at this
time. We expect to hold the auction rate securities until liquidity improves or
the borrower calls the underlying securities. In the meantime, we believe we
have sufficient liquidity through our cash balances, other short-term
investments and available credit. As of December 31, 2007, we have a total of
$7.2 million invested in auction rate securities.
  54
  Other
investments. We have invested $4.1 million in Internap Japan, our joint
venture with NTT-ME Corporation and NTT Holdings. We account for this investment
using the equity-method and to date we have recognized $3.3 million in
equity-method losses, representing our proportionate share of the aggregate
joint venture losses and income. Furthermore, the joint venture investment is
subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk. The market for services offered
by Internap Japan has not been proven and may never materialize.
 
 Interest rate
risk. Our objective in managing interest rate risk is to maintain
favorable long-term fixed rate or a balance of fixed and variable rate debt that
will lower our overall borrowing costs within reasonable risk parameters.
Currently, our strategy for managing interest rate risk does not include the use
of derivative securities. We estimate that a change in the interest rate of 100
basis points would change our interest expense and payments by less than $0.2
million per year. The table below presents principal cash flows by expected
maturity dates for our debt obligations that extend beyond one year as of
December 31, 2007 (dollars in thousands):

  ITEM 9.  CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH
ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

 ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND
PROCEDURES.
  Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
  Our management,
with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting
Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures
as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of December 31, 2007.  Our disclosure
controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information we are required
to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is
accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive
Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosures, and is recorded, processed,
summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules
and forms.  Based upon the evaluation described above our Chief Executive
Officer and Principal Accounting Officer concluded that, as of December 31,
2007, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of the
material weakness described below in Management's Report on Internal Control
Over Financial Reporting.
 
 Background
 
 During its
review of sales credit activity subsequent to year end, management
identified the activity as an area for further review and investigation.
Management concluded that an investigation was appropriate to identify the
underlying cause and to obtain completeness, accuracy, valuation, and disclosure
of sales adjustments. This investigation caused the Company to file this annual
report on  Form 10-K late.
 
 Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting
 
 Our management
is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over
financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act
Rule 13a-15(f).
  We assessed the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December
31, 2007. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) inInternal Control — Integrated Framework.
 
 A material
weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control
over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a
material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements
will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
 
 Management
identified the following material weakness in our internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2007:
 
 We did not
maintain effective controls over the completeness, accuracy, valuation, and
disclosure of sales adjustments. Specifically, we did not maintain effective
controls, including controls over the analysis of requests for sales credits and
billing adjustments, to provide timely information for management to assess
the completeness, accuracy, valuation, and disclosure of sales
adjustments.  This control deficiency resulted in the misstatement of
our revenue, net accounts receivable and related financial disclosures, and in
the revision of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the quarter
ended September 30, 2007 and in an adjustment to the consolidated financial
statements for the quarter ended December 31, 2007. Additionally, this control
deficiency could result in misstatements of the aforementioned accounts and
disclosures that would result in a material misstatement of the consolidated
financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, our
management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material
weakness.
 
 As a result of
the material weakness described above, management concluded that our internal
control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2007 based
on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the
COSO.
  The
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December
31, 2007 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent
registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report, which is included
herein.
 55
  Plan for Remediation of the
Material Weakness
 
 To
remediate the material weakness described above and to enhance our internal
control over financial reporting, management implemented plans in the first
quarter of 2008, or will supplement plans during 2008, to  its
existing controls for the analysis of requests for sales adjustments, which
may include but are not limited to, the following additional processes and
controls:
 
 ·
                  A single,
      common logging system for customers to record all disputes, disconnects
      and requests for credits,
 ·
                  A weekly
      review of a customer request log with appropriate designated management
      and approval pursuant to the schedule of
  authorization,
 ·
                  A more
      robust, proactive tracking of customer usage patterns and overall customer
      satisfaction, and
 ·
                  Perform
      a review by the appropriate designated finance management of the
      accounting estimates developed from the relevant, sufficient, and reliable
      data collected above
 
 Notwithstanding
the material weakness, management believes that the financial statements
included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial
position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods
presented.
 
 Changes in Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting
 
 No change
in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f)
and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the quarter ended December
31, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 Report
of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 To the
Board of Directors and Stockholders of
 Internap
Network Services Corporation
 
 In our
opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing
under Item 15(a)(1) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Internap Network Services Corporation and its subsidiaries, at
December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007 in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in
the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) presents fairly, in all material
respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the
related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company did
not maintain, in all material respects, effective internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in
Internal Control - Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission (COSO) because a material weakness in internal control over
financial reporting related to the completeness, accuracy, valuation and
disclosure of sales adjustments existed at that date.  A material
weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control
over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a
material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be
prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weakness referred to above
is described in Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
appearing under Item 9A. We considered this material weakness in determining the
nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2007
consolidatedfinancial statements,
and our opinion regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting does not affect our opinion on those consolidatedfinancial statements.
The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements and
financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over
financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal
control over financial reporting, included in management's report referred to
above. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements,
on the financial statement schedule, and on the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in
accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial
reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of financial
statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial
reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial
reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and
evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on
the assessed risk.  Our audits also included performing such other
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
 
 As
discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company
changed the manner in which it accounts for share-based compensation in 2006 and
the manner in which it accounts for uncertain tax positions in
2007.
  A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a
process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A
company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and
procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in
reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made
only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the
company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or
timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial
statements.
 
 Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 1.
              DESCRIPTION
      OF THE COMPANY AND NATURE OF
OPERATIONS
 
 Internap
Network Services Corporation (“Internap,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”)
delivers high performance and reliable Internet solutions through a suite of
network optimization and delivery products and services. These solutions,
combined with progressive and proactive technical support, enable companies to
confidently migrate business-critical applications, including audio and video
streaming and monetization services, to the Internet. Our suite of products and
services support a broad range of Internet applications. We serve both domestic
and international customers in the financial services, healthcare, technology,
retail, travel, media/entertainment and other markets. Our product and service
offerings are complemented by Internet Protocol, or IP, access solutions such as
data center services, content delivery networks, or CDN, and managed security.
We deliver services through our 50 service points across North America, Europe
and the Asia-Pacific region. Our Private Network Access Points, or P-NAPs,
feature multiple direct high-speed connections to major Internet networks
including AT&T Inc., Sprint Nextel Corporation, Verizon Communications
Inc., Savvis Inc., Global Crossing Limited, and Level 3 Communications, Inc. We
operate and manage the Company in three business segments: IP services, data
center services and CDN services. Prior to 2007 we operated and managed the
Company as a single business segment.
 
 The
nature of our business subjects us to certain risks and uncertainties frequently
encountered by rapidly evolving markets. These risks include the failure to
develop or supply technology or services, the ability to obtain adequate
financing, competition within the industry and technology trends.
 
 Although
we have been in existence since 1996, we have incurred significant operational
restructurings in recent years, which have included substantial changes in our
senior management team, streamlining our cost structure, consolidating network
access points, terminating certain non-strategic real estate leases and license
arrangements. We have a history of quarterly and annual period net losses
through the year ended December 31, 2005. For the year ended December 31, 2006
we recognized net income in each quarter. For the year ended December 31, 2007
we recognized a year to date net loss $5.6 million. At December 31, 2007, our
accumulated deficit was $862.0 million. We continue to analyze our business to
control our costs, principally through making process enhancements and
renegotiating network contracts for more favorable pricing and
terms.
  As
discussed in note 18, we revised our quarterly statement of operations for the
quarter ended September 30, 2007 to appropriately record (1) $0.5 million for
sales adjustments, which reduce net accounts receivable and revenue, and (2)
$0.1 million for accretion of interest income that we initially included as
unrealized gain in accumulated other comprehensive income within stockholders’
equity.

              SUMMARY
      OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
  Accounting
principles
 
 The
consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Internap
and all majority owned subsidiaries. Significant inter-company transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.
 
 Estimates
and assumptions
 
 The
preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates
and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue
and expense, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an
ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue
recognition, doubtful accounts, cost-basis investments, intangible assets,
accruals, stock-based compensation, income taxes, restructuring costs, long-term
service contracts, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on
historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for
making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are
not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially
from these estimates.

  Cash
and cash equivalents
 
 We
consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of
three months or less at the date of purchase and money market mutual funds to be
cash equivalents. We invest our cash and cash equivalents with major financial
institutions and may at times exceed federally insured limits. We believe that
the risk of loss is minimal. To date, we have not experienced any losses related
to cash and cash equivalents.
 
 Restricted
cash
 
 Restricted
cash represents time deposits used to secure letters of credit on certain of our
real estate leases and a capital lease for equipment. The letters of credit for
the real estate leases were secured by our former credit agreement and are in
the process of being secured under our new credit agreement.  The
letter of credit securing the capital lease for equipment was assumed in the
VitalStream acquisition.
 
 Investments
in marketable securities
 
 We
account for marketable securities in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities.” Management determines the appropriate
classification of marketable securities at the time of purchase. At December 31,
2007 and 2006, all marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale.
Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with the unrealized
gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income. Our marketable
securities are reviewed each reporting period for declines in value that are
considered to be other-than-temporary and, if appropriate, written down to their
estimated fair value. Any realized gains or losses or declines in value judged
to be other-than-temporary on available-for-sale securities are included in
other non-operating (income) expense in the consolidated statements of
operations. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification
method. Interest on securities classified as available-for-sale is included in
interest income in the consolidated statements of operations.
 
 Other
investments
 
 We
account for investments without readily determinable fair values at historical
cost, as determined by our initial investment. The recorded value of cost basis
investments is periodically reviewed to determine the propriety of the recorded
basis. When a decline in the value that is judged to be other than temporary has
occurred based on available data, the cost basis is reduced and an investment
loss is recorded.
 
 We
incurred a charge during the three months ended June 30, 2007, totaling $1.2
million, representing the write-off of the remaining carrying value of our
investment in series D preferred stock of Aventail Corporation, or Aventail. See
note 6 for further discussion of this investment and the recorded loss. As
of December 31, 2006, the carrying value of the Aventail investment of $1.2
million was recorded in non-current investments in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet.
 
 We
account for investments that provide us with the ability to exercise significant
influence, but not control, over an investee using the equity method of
accounting. Significant influence, but not control, is generally deemed to exist
if we have an ownership interest in the voting stock of the investee of between
20% and 50%, although other factors, such as minority interest protections, are
considered in determining whether the equity method of accounting is
appropriate. As of December 31, 2007, Internap Japan Co. Ltd., or Internap
Japan, our joint venture with NTT-ME Corporation and Nippon Telegraph and
Telephone Corporation, or NTT Holdings, qualifies for equity method accounting.
We record our proportional share of the income and losses of Internap Japan one
month in arrears on the consolidated balance sheets as a component of
non-current investments and our share of Internap Japan’s income and losses, net
of taxes, as separate caption in our consolidated statement of
operations.
  Fair
value of financial instruments
 
 Our
short-term financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, accounts payable, note payable, and capital lease obligations are
carried at cost. Our investments in marketable securities are recorded at fair
value. Our marketable securities are designated as available for sale with
changes in fair value reflected in other comprehensive income. The carrying
value of our long-term financial instruments, including note payable and capital
lease obligations, approximate fair value as the interest rates approximate
current market rates of similar debt obligations.

  Financial
instrument credit risk
 
 Financial
instruments that potentially subject us to a concentration of credit risk
principally consist of cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and trade
receivables. We currently invest the majority of our cash and cash equivalents
in money market funds and maintain them with financial institutions with high
credit ratings. We also invest in high credit quality corporate debt securities,
auction rate securities whose underlying assets are state-issued student and
educational loans which are substantially backed by the federal government,
commercial paper, and U.S. Government Agency debt securities pursuant to a
formal investment policy. As of December 31, 2007, we have a total of $7.2
million invested in auction rate securities.  Uncertainties in the
credit markets may affect the liquidity of our holdings in auction rate
securities.  We did not experience any unsuccessful auction rate
resets during the year ended or on the initial rate resets immediately following
December 31, 2007, however we have experienced failures on each of our
subsequent auction rate resets.  Nevertheless, we continue to receive
interest every 28-35 days. While our investments are of high credit quality, at
this time we are uncertain as to whether or when the liquidity issues relating
to these investments will worsen or improve. We do not believe that it is
necessary at this time to adjust the fair value of our portfolio of auction rate
securities. We also perform periodic evaluations of the relative credit ratings
of the financial institutions with whom we invest as part of our cash management
process. We have not experienced any credit losses on our cash, cash equivalents
or marketable securities.
 
 Inventory
 
 Inventory
is carried at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out method.
Cost includes materials related to the assembly of our Flow Control Platform, or
FCP solutions.
 
 Property
and equipment
 
 Property
and equipment are carried at original acquisition cost less accumulated
depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are calculated on a
straight-line basis over the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the assets
or the lease term. Estimated useful lives used for network equipment are
generally three years; furniture, equipment and software are three to seven
years; and leasehold improvements are seven years or over the lease term,
depending on the nature of the improvement, but in no event beyond the expected
lease term. The duration of lease obligations and commitments range from 24
months for certain networking equipment to 240 months for certain facility
leases. Additions and improvements that increase the value or extend the life of
an asset are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
Gains or losses from disposals of property and equipment are charged to
operations.
 
 Leases
and leasehold improvements
 
 We record
leases as capital or operating leases and account for leasehold improvements in
accordance with SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases” and related literature.
Rent expense for operating leases is recorded in accordance with Financial
Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Technical Bulletin, or FTB, No. 88-1,
“Issues Relating to Accounting for Leases.” This FTB requires lease agreements
that include periods of free rent or other incentives, specific escalating lease
payments, or both, to be recorded on a straight-line or other systematic basis
over the initial lease term and those renewal periods that are reasonably
assured. The difference between rent expense and rent paid is recorded as
deferred rent in non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance
sheets.

  Costs
of computer software development
 
 In
accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’
Statement of Position 98-1, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software
Developed or Obtained for Internal Use,” we capitalize certain direct costs
incurred developing internal use software. We capitalized $1.6 million and $0.9
million in internal software development costs for the years ended December 31,
2007 and 2006, respectively. We did not capitalize any costs during the year
ended December 31, 2005. During the year ended December 31, 2007, we impaired
$1.1 million of software development costs capitalized prior to December 31,
2005 related to the implementation of a billing and order entry system initiated
during 2004. Subsequent to our acquisition of VitalStream, we determined that we
would utilize our legacy billing system and abandon the former project because
(1) the developer of our financial software purchased the developer of our
legacy billing system, and (2) the legacy billing system would be more flexible
in integrating the VitalStream business.  During the year ended
December 31, 2006, we impaired $0.3 million of software development costs
capitalized prior to December 31, 2005 related to the implementation of our
financial system software also initiated during 2004. Amortization expense on
internally developed software commences when the software project is ready for
its intended use.
 
 As of
December 31, 2007 and 2006, the balance of unamortized software costs was $2.7
million and $2.5 million, respectively, and for the year ended December 31,
2007, amortization expense was $0.2 million. The software was not ready for its
intended use and had not been placed in service as of December 31, 2006;
therefore, no amortization expense was recorded for the years ended December 31,
2006 or 2005.
  For the
year ended December 31, 2005 we capitalized $0.5 million of costs for internally
developed software in accordance with SFAS No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of
Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed.” No amounts were
capitalized for the years ended December 31, 2007 or 2006. As of December 31,
2007 and 2006, the balance of unamortized software costs was $0.1 million and
$0.2 million, respectively. Amortization expense was $0.2 million, $0.2 million,
and $0.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005,
respectively.
 
 Goodwill
and other intangible assets
  In
accordance with SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," we
review our goodwill for impairment annually, or more frequently, if facts and
circumstances warrant a review. The provisions of SFAS No. 142 require that
a two-step test be performed to assess goodwill for impairment. First, the fair
value of each reporting unit is compared to its carrying value. If the fair
value exceeds the carrying value, goodwill is not impaired and no further
testing is performed. The second step is performed if the carrying value exceeds
the fair value. The implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill must be
determined and compared to the carrying value of the goodwill. If the carrying
value of a reporting unit's goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an
impairment loss equal to the difference will be recorded. We completed our
annual goodwill impairment test as of August 1, 2007 and determined that the
carrying amount of goodwill was not impaired.
  Other
acquired intangible assets, including developed technologies and patents, have
finite lives and we have recorded these assets at cost less accumulated
amortization. Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over the
estimated economic useful life of the assets, which are three to seven years for
developed technologies and fifteen years for patents.
 
 Valuation
of long-lived assets
 
 Management
periodically evaluates the carrying value of its long-lived assets, including,
but not limited to, property and equipment pursuant to the guidance provided by
SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.”
The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the
undiscounted cash flows from such asset is separately identifiable and is
estimated to be less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is
recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair
value of the long-lived asset. Fair value is determined primarily using the
anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved.
Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of would be determined in a similar
manner, except that fair values would be reduced by the cost of disposal. Losses
due to impairment of long-lived assets are charged to operations during the
period in which the impairment is identified.

  Accruals
for disputed telecommunication costs
  In
delivering our services, we rely on a number of Internet network,
telecommunication and other vendors. We work directly with these vendors to
provision services such as establishing, modifying or discontinuing services for
our customers. Because of the volume of activity, billing disputes inevitably
arise. These disputes typically stem from disagreements concerning the starting
and ending dates of service, quoted rates, usage, and various other factors. For
potential billing errors made in the vendor’s favor, for example a duplicate
billing, we initiate a formal dispute with the vendor and record the related
cost and liability on a range of 5% to 100% of the disputed amount, depending on
our assessment of the likely outcome of the dispute. Conversely, for billing
errors in our favor, such as the vendor’s failure to invoice us for new service,
we record an estimate for the related cost and liability based on the full
amount that we should have been invoiced. Disputed costs, both in the vendors’
favor and our favor, are researched and discussed with vendors on an ongoing
basis until ultimately resolved. Estimates are periodically reviewed by
management and modified in light of new information or developments, if any.
Conversely, any resolved disputes that will result in a credit over the disputed
amounts are recognized in the appropriate month when the resolution has been
determined. Because estimates regarding disputed costs include assessments
of uncertain outcomes, such estimates are inherently vulnerable to changes due
to unforeseen circumstances that could materially and adversely affect our
consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows.
 
 Accrued
liabilities
 
 Similar
to accruals for disputed telecommunications costs above, it is necessary for us
to estimate other significant costs such as utilities and sales, use,
telecommunications, and other taxes. These estimates are often necessary either
because invoices for services are not received on a timely basis from our
vendors or by virtue of the complexity surrounding the costs. In every instance
in which an estimate is necessary, we record the related cost and liability
based on all available facts and circumstances, including but not limited to
historical trends, related usage, forecasts, and quotes. Management periodically
reviews and modifies estimates in light of new information or developments, if
any. Because estimates regarding accrued liabilities include assessments of
uncertain outcomes, such estimates are inherently vulnerable to changes due to
unforeseen circumstances that could materially and adversely affect our results
of operations and cash flows.
 
 Restructuring
liability
 
 When
circumstances warrant, we may elect to exit certain business activities or
change the manner in which we conduct ongoing operations. When we make such a
change, management will estimate the costs to exit a business or restructure
ongoing operations. The components of the estimates may include estimates and
assumptions regarding the timing and costs of future events and activities that
represent management's best expectations based on known facts and circumstances
at the time of estimation. Management periodically reviews its restructuring
estimates and assumptions relative to new information, if any, of which it
becomes aware. Should circumstances warrant, management will adjust its previous
estimates to reflect what it then believes to be a more accurate representation
of expected future costs. Because management's estimates and assumptions
regarding restructuring costs include probabilities of future events, such
estimates are inherently vulnerable to changes due to unforeseen circumstances,
changes in market conditions, regulatory changes, changes in existing business
practices, and other circumstances that could materially and adversely affect
our results of operations.
 
 Taxes
 
 We
account for income taxes under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and
tax bases of assets and liabilities, and are measured using the enacted tax
rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to
reverse. We provide a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to
their estimated realizable value.

  In June
2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No.  48, “Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an
interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” or FIN 48. FIN 48 clarifies the
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized under SFAS No.109,
“Accounting for Income Taxes .” FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold
and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of
a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and also provides
guidance on various related matters such as derecognition, interest and
penalties, and disclosure. We adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As of January
1, 2007, no material tax benefit existed for uncertain tax
positions.  During 2007, as discussed in Note 12, we recognized a FIN
48 liability of $0.9 million that was netted on the balance sheet with U.K.
deferred tax assets.
 
 We
classify interest and penalties arising from the underpayment of income taxes in
the statement of operations under general and administrative expenses. As of
December 31, 2007, we have no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain
tax positions, as a result of substantial U.K. net operating loss
carryforwards.
 
 We
account for telecommunication, sales and other similar taxes on a net basis in
general and administrative expense.
 
 Stock-based
compensation
 
 Effective
January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,”
or SFAS No. 123R, and related interpretations. SFAS No. 123R establishes the
accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee services. Under SFAS
No. 123R, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on
the calculated fair value of the award. The expense is recognized over the
employees’ requisite service period, generally the vesting period of the award.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006, we accounted for
stock-based compensation plans under the recognition and measurement provisions
of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees” and related interpretations. We also provided disclosures
in accordance with SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” as
amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and
Disclosures—an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.” Accordingly, no expense was
recognized for options to purchase our common stock that were granted with an
exercise price equal to fair market value at the date of grant and no expense
was recognized in connection with purchases under our employee stock purchase
plans for any periods prior to January 1, 2006.
  We
elected to adopt SFASNo.123R
using the modified prospectiveapplicationmethod.
Under thismethod, compensationcost
recognized during the period includes: ( 1) compensation
cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of
January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance
with the original provisions of SFAS No.123
amortized over the awards’ vesting period, and ( 2) compensation
cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006,
based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions
of SFAS No.123R
amortized on a straight-line basis over the awards’ vesting period. The fair
value of stock options is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model with weighted average assumptions for the activity under
our stock plans. Option pricing model input assumptions such as expected term,
expected volatility, and risk-free interest rate, impact the fair value
estimate. Further, the forfeiture rate impacts the amount of aggregate
compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant
analysis and judgment to develop.
  On
November 10, 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 123R-3,
“Transition Election Related to Accounting for Tax Effects of Share-Based
Payment Awards,” that allows for a “short-cut” method to establish the beginning
balance of the additional paid-in capital, or APIC, pool related to the tax
effects of employee stock-based compensation, and to determine the subsequent
impact on the APIC pool and consolidated statements of cash flows of the tax
effects of employee stock-based compensation awards that are outstanding upon
adoption of SFAS No. 123R. In 2006, we adopted the alternative transition method
provided in the FASB Staff Position for calculating the tax effects of
stock-based compensation pursuant to SFAS No. 123R. The adoption did not have a
material impact on our results of operations and financial
condition.
  SFAS No.
123R does not allow the recognition of a deferred tax asset for unrealized tax
benefits associated with the tax deductions in excess of the compensation
recorded (excess tax benefit). At adoption of SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006,
we elected to utilize the “with and without” approach for utilization of tax
attributes upon realization of net operating losses in the future. This method
allocates stock compensation benefits lastamong other tax benefits
recognized.  In addition, we elected to adopt the “direct only” method
of calculating the amount of windfalls or shortfalls.

  Treasury
stock
 
 As
permitted by our stock-based compensation plans, we may, from time to time,
acquire shares of treasury stock as payment of taxes due from employees for
stock-based compensation. During 2006, shares of treasury stock were acquired as
payment of taxes and subsequently reissued as part of our stock-based
compensation plans. When shares are reissued, we use the weighted average cost
method for determining cost. The difference between the cost of the shares and
the issuance price is added or deducted from additional contributed
capital.
 
 Reverse
stock split
 
 On July
10, 2006, we implemented a one-for-ten reverse stock split on our common stock
and amended our Certificate of Incorporation to reduce our authorized shares
from 600 million to 60 million. We began trading on a post reverse split basis
on July 11, 2006. All share and per share information herein (including shares
outstanding, earnings per share and warrant and stock option data) have been
retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to reflect this reverse
split.
 
 Revenue
recognition and concentration of credit risk
 
 The
majority of our revenue is derived from high performance IP services, related
data center services, CDN services, and other ancillary products and services
throughout the United States. Our IP services revenue is derived from the sale
of high performance Internet connectivity services at fixed rates or usage-based
pricing to our customers that desire a DS-3 or faster connection. Slower T-1 and
fractional DS-3 connections are provided at fixed rates.  Data center
revenue includes both physical space for hosting customers’ network and other
equipment plus associated services such as redundant power and network
connectivity, environmental controls and security.  Data center
revenue is based on occupied square feet and both allocated and variable-based
usage.  CDN revenue includes three components, none of which are sold
separately: (1) data storage; (2) streaming/delivery and (3) a user
interface/reporting tool.  We provide the CDN service components via
internally developed and acquired technology that resides on our
network.  CDN revenue is based on either fixed rates or usage-based
pricing.  All of the foregoing revenue arrangements have contractual
terms and in many instances, include minimum usage commitments.  Other
ancillary products and services include our Flow Control Platform, or FCP,
product, server management and installation, virtual private networking, managed
security, data
backup, remote storage
and restoration.
  We recognize revenue in accordance with the Securities
and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104,Revenue Recognition,
or SAB No. 104, and the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s, or
FASB, Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-21,Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,
or EITF No. 00-21.Revenue
is recognizedwhen persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the
product or service has been delivered, the fees are fixed or determinable and
collectibility is probable. For most of our IP, data center and CDN revenue,
services are delivered ratably over the contract term. Contracts and sales or
purchase orders are used to determine the existence of an arrangement. We test
for availability or connectivity to verify delivery of our services. We assess
whether the fee is fixed or determinable based on the payment terms associated
with the transaction and whether the sales price is subject to refund or
adjustment.  Because the software component of our FCP is more than
incidental to the product as a whole, we recognize associated FCP revenue in
accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ (AICPA)
Statement of Position 97-2, Software
Revenue Recognition, or SOP 97-2.
 
 We derive revenue from the sale ofIP services, data center
services andCDN services
to customers under contracts that generally commit the customer to a minimum
monthly level of usage on a calendar month basis and provide the rate at which
the customer must pay for actual usage above the monthly minimum. For these
services, we recognize the monthly minimum as revenue each month provided that
an enforceable contract has been signed by both parties, the service has been
delivered to the customer, the fee for the service is fixed or determinable and
collection is reasonably assured. Should a customer’s usage of our services
exceed the monthly minimum, we recognize revenue for such excess in the period
of the usage. We record the installation fees as deferred revenue and recognize
as revenue ratably over the estimated life of the customer arrangement. We also
derive revenue from services sold as discrete, non-recurring events or based
solely on usage. For these services, we recognize revenue after both parties
have signed an enforceable contract, the fee is fixed or determinable, the event
or usage has occurred and collection is reasonably assured.

  Wealsoenter
into multiple-element arrangements or bundled services, such as combiningIP
serviceswith
data center and (or) CDN services.  When
we enter into such arrangements, we
account for each element separately over its respective service period or at the
time of delivery, provided that there is objective evidence of fair value for
the separate elements. Objective evidence of fair value includes the price
charged for the element when sold separately. If we cannot objectively determine
the fair value of each element, we recognize the total value of the arrangement
ratably over the entire service period to the extent that we have begun to
provide the services, and other revenue recognition criteria have been
satisfied.
  Deferred
revenue consists of revenue for services to be delivered in the future and
consist primarily of advance billings, which are amortized over the respective
service period. Revenue associated with billings for installation of customer
network equipment are deferred and amortized over the estimated life of the
customer relationship, which was two to three years during the three year period
ended December 31, 2007. Revenue for installation services is deferred and
amortized because the installation service is integral to our primary service
offering and does not have value to customers on a stand-alone basis. Deferred
post-contract customer support associated with sales of our FCP solution and
similar products are amortized ratably over the contract period, which is
generally one year.
  We
routinely review the creditworthiness and payment status of our customers. If we
determine that collection of service revenue is uncertain, we do not recognize
revenue until  collection is probable. Additionally, we maintain
allowances for doubtful accounts resulting from the inability of our customers
to make required payments on accounts receivable. The allowance for doubtful
accounts is based upon specific and general customer information, which also
includes estimates based on management's best understanding of our customers'
ability to pay and their payment status. Customers' ability to pay takes into
consideration payment history, legal status (i.e., bankruptcy), and the
status of services we are providing. We assess the payment status of
customers by reference to the terms under which services or goods are provided
with any payments not made on or before their due date considered past-due. Once
all collection efforts have been exhausted, we write the uncollectible balance
off against the allowance for doubtful accounts.
  We record an amount for
sales adjustments, which reduces net accounts receivable and revenue.
The amount for sales adjustments is based upon specific customer
information, including outstanding promotional credits, customer disputes,
credit adjustments not yet processed through the billing system and
historical activity. If the financial condition of our customers were to
deteriorate, or management becomes aware of new information impacting a
customer's credit risk, additional adjustments may be required.
  Research
and product development costs
  Product
development costs are primarily related to network engineering costs associated
with changes to the functionality of our proprietary services and network
architecture. Such costs that do not qualify for capitalization as software
development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs,
which are included in product development cost and are expensed as incurred,
primarily consist of compensation related to our development
and enhancement of IProuting technology, progressive download and
streaming technology for our CDN, and acceleration technologies. Research and
development costs were $3.1 million, $2.4 million and $2.9 million for the years
ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.
  Advertising
costs
  We
expense all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs for the years ended
December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 were $1.2 million, $1.3 million and $0.2
million, respectively.

  Net
(loss) income per share
 
 Basic and
diluted net (loss) income per share has been computed using the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net
(loss) income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common
and potentially dilutive shares outstanding during the period. Potentially
dilutive shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the
exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants and unvested restricted stock
using the treasury stock method. The treasury stock method calculates the
dilutive effect for only those stock options and warrants for which the sum of
proceeds, including unrecognized compensation and windfall tax benefits, if any,
is less than the average stock price during the period presented. Potentially
dilutive shares are excluded from the computation of net (loss) income per share
if their effect is anti-dilutive.
  Basic and diluted net (loss) income per share for the years ended
December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 are calculated as follows (in thousands, except

 Segment
information
 
 We use
the management approach for determining which, if any, of our services and
products, locations, customers or management structures constitute a reportable
business segment. The management approach designates the internal organization
that is used by management for making operating decisions and assessing
performance as the source of any reportable segments. As a result of our
acquisition of VitalStream Holdings, Inc., as discussed in note 3, and the
information presented to executive management, we classified our operations into
three reportable business segments: IP services, data center services and CDN
services. In accordance with SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information,” we have presented the corresponding items
of segment information for the years ended December 31, 2006 and
2005.
 
 Recent
accounting pronouncements
 
 In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS
No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB
issuedStaff Position, or
FSP,FAS 157-1, which
provides supplemental guidance on the application of SFAS No. 157, and FSP
FAS 157-2, which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial
assets and nonfinancial liabilities. We are currently in the process of
evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on our
financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
 
 In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS
No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities.” SFAS No. 159 permits companies to
choose to measure, on an instrument-by-instrument basis, many financial
instruments and certain other assets and liabilities at fair value that are not
currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 159 is effective
as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007.
While we will not elect to adopt fair value accounting to any assets or
liabilities allowed by SFAS No. 159, we are currently in the process of
evaluating SFAS No. 159 and its potential impact to us.
 
 In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS
No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations,”orSFAS No. 141R. SFAS No. 141R
replaces SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” SFASNo.141R establishes principles and
requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial
statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any
noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired or a gain from
a bargain purchase. SFAS No. 141R also determines disclosure requirements
to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the
business combination. SFAS
No. 141Rapplies
prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or
after the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or after December 15,
2008 and there are also implications for acquisitions that occur prior to this
date. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact that the adoption
of SFASNo. 141Rwill have on
our financial position, results of operations and cash
flows.

              BUSINESS
      COMBINATION
 
 On
February 20, 2007, we completed the previously announced acquisition of
VitalStream Holdings, Inc., or VitalStream, for approximately $214.0 million,
whereby VitalStream became a wholly owned subsidiary of Internap. VitalStream
provides products and services for storing and delivering digital media to large
audiences over the Internet and advertisement insertion and related advertising
services to companies that stream digital media over the Internet. VitalStream
also enhances our position as a leading provider of high performance route
control products and services by adding complementary service offerings in the
rapidly growing content delivery and on-line advertising markets. Integrating
VitalStream's digital media delivery platform into our portfolio of products and
services enables us to provide customers with one of the most complete product
lines in content delivery solutions, content monetization and on-line
advertising, while supporting the significant long-term growth opportunities in
the network services market. We accounted for the transaction using the purchase
method of accounting in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business
Combinations.” Our results of operations include the activities of VitalStream
from February 21, 2007 through December 31, 2007.

              214,022
  As a
result of the acquisition, we issued approximately 12.2 million shares of
Internap common stock based on an exchange ratio of 0.5132 shares of
Internap common stock for each outstanding share of VitalStream common stock as
of February 20, 2007. This fixed exchange ratio gave effect to the one-for-ten
reverse stock split by Internap implemented on July 11, 2006 and the
one-for-four reverse stock split by VitalStream implemented on April 4,
2006. The average market price per share of Internap common stock of $16.16 was
based on an average of the closing prices for a range of trading days from
October 10, 2006 through October 16, 2006, which range spanned the announcement
date of the transaction on October 12, 2006.
  Under the
terms of the merger agreement, each VitalStream stock option that was
outstanding and unexercised was converted into an option to purchase Internap
common stock and we assumed that stock option in accordance with the terms of
the applicable VitalStream stock option plan and terms of the stock option
agreement. Based on VitalStream's stock options outstanding at February 20,
2007, we converted options to purchase approximately 3.0 million shares of
VitalStream common stock into options to purchase approximately 1.5 million
shares of Internap common stock.

  Purchase
Price Allocation
  Under the
purchase method of accounting, we allocated the total estimated purchase price
to VitalStream's net tangible and intangible assets based on their estimated
fair values as of February 20, 2007. We recorded the excess purchase price over
the value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets as goodwill. We
determined the fair value assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired
using the income approach, which discounts expected future cash flows to present
value using estimates and assumptions determined by management. The allocation
of the purchase price and the estimated useful lives are as follows (dollars in

Subsequent to the finalization of the purchase price allocation, we recorded a

certain pre-acquisition assets and liabilities and decrease of $0.4 million as a
result of the utilization of a portion of VitalStream’s net operating loss
carryforwards.
 
 Net tangible assets. We
recorded VitalStream's tangible assets and liabilities as of February 20, 2007
at their fair value. Net tangible assets included restricted and unrestricted
cash of $9.8 million, accounts receivable of $3.2 million, property and
equipment of $11.2 million, other assets of $2.2 million, loan and security
agreement (including both term loans and an outstanding line of credit) and
capital lease obligations of $6.1 million, and accounts payable and other
liabilities of $8.0 million. Subsequent to the acquisition of VitalStream, we
paid off the term loans and line of credit assumed in the VitalStream
acquisition.
  Identifiable intangible
assets.   Developed technologies relate to VitalStream products
that have reached technological feasibility and include processes and trade
secrets acquired or developed through design and development of their products.
Customer relationships represent contracts with existing customers. Trade name
primarily relates to the VitalStream and other product names. We valued each of
the identifiable intangible assets using various forms of the income approach,
detailed financial projections and various assumptions, including, among others,
the evolution of the existing technology platforms to future technology,
expected net cash flows, customer attrition rates, tax rates, and discount
rates.   Amortization of identifiable intangibles is on a
straight-line basis over their respective useful lives.
  In-process research and
development.  As of the closing date, one project was in development
that has not reached technological feasibility and therefore qualifies as
in-process research and development. The amount allocated to in-process research
and development was charged to the statement of operations as of the date of
acquisition.
  Goodwill.
  Goodwill is the residual of the excess of fair value over the book
value of the acquired entity's net assets at the date of acquisition. We note
that under SFAS No. 141, an assembled workforce shall not be recognized apart
from goodwill and therefore is embedded in goodwill. Part of the acquisition
included an assembled workforce that is included as a component of
goodwill.  Another component of goodwill is the estimated fair value
of the expected synergies and other benefits from combining ours and
VitalStream’s net assets and businesses. Our expected synergies are significant
in this acquisition, including synergies in the sales channel, our network
costs, general and administrative costs, and capital expenditures. We allocated
approximately $154.8 million to goodwill for the CDN services segment. In
accordance with SFAS No. 142, we will not amortize goodwill but
instead will test it for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if
certain indicators are present. A total of $18.3 million of goodwill
will be deductible for tax purposes.

              ASSET
      IMPAIRMENT AND RESTRUCTURING COSTS
 
 During
the three months ended March 31, 2007, we incurred a restructuring and
impairment charge of $10.3 million. The charge was the result of a review of our
business, particularly in light of our acquisition of VitalStream and our plan
to finalize the overall integration and implementation plan before the end of
the first quarter. The charge to expense included $7.8 million for leased
facilities, representing both the costs less anticipated sublease recoveries
that will continue to be incurred without economic benefit to us and costs to
terminate leases before the end of their term. The charge also included
severance payments of $1.1 million for the termination of certain employees and
$1.4 million for impairment of assets. Net related expenditures were estimated
to be $10.7 million, of which $2.8 million has been paid during the year ended
December 31, 2007, and the balance continuing through December 2016, the last
date of the longest lease term.  These expenditures are expected to be
paid out of operating cash flows. The impairment charge of $1.3 million is
related to the leases referenced above and less than $0.1 million for other
assets. Cost savings from the restructuring were estimated to be approximately
$0.8 million per year through 2016, primarily for rent expense.
 
 In 2001,
we implemented significant restructuring plans that resulted in substantial
charges for real estate and network infrastructure obligations, personnel and
other charges. Additional related charges have subsequently been incurred as we
continued to evaluate our restructuring reserve. The following table displays
the activity and balances for the restructuring and asset impairment activity

  Also,
during the year ended December 31, 2006, we recognized an impairment charge of
$0.3 million as a result of the implementation of a new financial system which
began in 2004.
 
 In 2005,
we recorded net restructuring charges totaling less than $0.1 million primarily
for changes in estimated expenses related to real estate obligations.

              OPERATING
      SEGMENTS
 
 We
operate and manage the Company in three business segments: IP services, data
center services and CDN services.   IP services primarily include
our high performance Internet connectivity as well as sales of our FCP
products.  Data center services primarily include physical space for
hosting customers’ network and other equipment plus associated services such as
redundant power and network connectivity, environmental controls and
security.  CDN services primarily include data storage,
streaming/delivery and a user interface/reporting tool, none of which are sold
separately.Other revenues and direct costs represent non-segmented
activities and primarily include reseller and miscellaneous services such as
third party CDN services, termination fee revenue, referral fees for other
hardware sales, and consulting services. In
conjunction with the preparation of our financial statements, we analyzed sales
credits activity for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 and
reclassified all of the credits to the related operating segments.The
following tables show operating results for our reportable segments, along with
reconciliations from segment gross profit to (loss) income before income taxes
and equity in earnings of equity-method investment:

              INVESTMENTS
 
 Investment
in marketable securities
 
 Pursuant
to our formal investment policy, investments in marketable securities primarily
consist of high credit quality corporate debt securities, auction rate
securities whose underlying assets are state-issued student and educational
loans which are substantially backed by the federal government, commercial paper
and U.S. Government Agency debt securities. Auction rate securities are variable
rate bonds tied to short-term interest rates with maturities on the face of the
securities in excess of 90 days and have interest rate resets through a modified
Dutch auction, at predetermined short-term intervals, usually every 7, 28 or 35
days. Auction rate securities generally trade at par and are callable at par on
any interest payment date at the option of the issuer.  Interest
received during a given period is based upon the interest rate determined
through the auction process.  Although these securities are issued and
rated as long term bonds, they are priced and traded as short-term instruments
because of the liquidity provided through the interest rate
reset.  All short-term marketable securities either (1) have original
maturities greater than 90 days but less than one year or (2) are auction rate
securities expected to be liquidated within one year, are classified as
available-for-sale and are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value
reflected in other comprehensive income. All proceeds were from the
maturity of the securities or sales of auction rate securities at par
value.  Accordingly, we have not recognized any realized gains or
losses.

 Uncertainties
in the credit markets may affect the liquidity of our holdings in auction rate
securities.  We did not experience any unsuccessful auction rate
resets during the year ended or the initial rate resets immediately following
December 31, 2007, however we have experienced failures on each of our
subsequent auction rate resets. Nevertheless, we continue to receive interest
every 28-35 days. While our investments in auction rate securities are of high
credit quality with AAA/Aaa ratings as of December 31, 2007, at this time we are
uncertain as to whether or when the liquidity issues relating to these
investments will worsen or improve. We do not believe that it is necessary at
this time to adjust the fair value of our portfolio of auction rate securities
and we expect to hold the auction rate securities until liquidity improves or
the borrower calls the underlying securities. However, if uncertainties in the
credit and capital markets continue, these markets deteriorate further or we
experience any rating downgrades on any of the investments in our portfolio, we
may incur temporary or other than temporary impairments, which could negatively
affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In
addition, a continued deterioration in market conditions that lead us to
conclude our marketable securities are not available to fund current operations
would result in us classifying our auction rate securities as noncurrent assets.
In the meantime, we believe we have sufficient liquidity through our cash
balances, other short-term investments and available credit.
 
 Investment
in Internap Japan
 
 We
maintain a 51% ownership interest in Internap Japan, a joint venture with NTT-ME
Corporation and NTT Holdings. We are unable to assert control over the joint
venture’s operational and financial policies and practices required to account
for the joint venture as a subsidiary whose assets, liabilities, revenue and
expense would be consolidated (due to certain minority interest protections
afforded to our joint venture partners). We are, however, able to assert
significant influence over the joint venture and, therefore, account for our
joint venture investment using the equity-method of accounting pursuant to APB
Opinion No. 18 “The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock”
and consistent with Emerging Issues Task Force No. 96-16 “Investor’s Accounting
for an Investee When the Investor Has a Majority of the Voting Interest but the
Minority Shareholder or Shareholders Have Certain Approval or Veto
Rights.”

 Investment
in Aventail
 
 We
account for investments without readily determinable fair values at cost.
Realized gains and losses and declines in value of securities judged to be
other-than-temporary are included in other expense. We incurred a charge during
the three months ended June 30, 2007, totaling $1.2 million, representing the
write-off of the remaining carrying value of our investment in series D
preferred stock of Aventail. We made an initial cash investment of $6.0 million
in Aventail series D preferred stock pursuant to an investment agreement in
February 2000. In connection with a subsequent round of financing by Aventail,
we recognized an initial loss on our investment of $4.8 million in 2001. On June
12, 2007, SonicWall, Inc. announced that it entered into an agreement to acquire
Aventail for approximately $25.0 million in cash. The transaction closed on July
11, 2007, with all shares of series D preferred stock being cancelled and the
holders of series D preferred stock not receiving any consideration for such
shares.

              GOODWILL
      AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
 
 We
perform our annual goodwill impairment test as of August 1 of each calendar year
and estimated the fair value of our reporting units utilizing a discounted cash
flow method. Based on the results of these analyses our goodwill was not
impaired as of August 1, 2007.
 
 The
assumptions, inputs and judgments used in performing the valuation analysis are
inherently subjective and reflect estimates based on known facts and
circumstances at the time the valuation is performed. The use of different
assumptions, inputs and judgments, or changes in circumstances, could materially
affect the results of the valuation. Adverse changes in the value of our
reporting units would necessitate an impairment charge of our goodwill. In
connection with our acquisition of VitalStream on February 20, 2007, we recorded
$154.8 million of additional goodwill based on our allocation of the VitalStream
purchase price, as discussed in note 3. In December 2007, a decrease of $0.4
million was recorded to goodwill as a result of the utilization of a portion of
VitalStream’s net operating loss carryforwards. The total recorded amount of
goodwill was $190.7 million and $36.3 million as of December 31, 2007 and
December 31, 2006, respectively.
 
 Generally,
any adjustments made as a result of the impairment testing are required to be
recognized as operating expense. We will continue to perform our annual
impairment testing as of August 1 each year absent any impairment indicators
that may cause more frequent analysis, as required by SFAS No. 142.

September 14, 2007, we entered into a $35.0 million credit agreement, or the
Credit Agreement, with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and
lenders who may become a party to the Credit Agreement from time to
time.  VitalStream Holdings, Inc., VitalStream, Inc., PlayStream,
Inc., and VitalStream Advertising Services, Inc., four of our subsidiaries, are
guarantors of the Credit Agreement.
  The
Credit Agreement replaced our prior creditagreement, which was evidenced
by a Loan and Security Agreement between the Company and Silicon Valley Bank
that was last amended on December 27, 2006.  We paid off and
terminated this prior credit facility concurrently with the execution of the
Credit Agreement.
  Our
obligations under the Credit Agreement are pledged, pursuant to a pledge and
security agreement and an intellectual property security agreement, by
substantially all of our assets including the capital stock of our domestic
subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of our foreign
subsidiaries.
  The
Credit Agreement provides for a four-year revolving credit facility, or the
Revolving Credit Facility, in the aggregate amount of up to $5.0 million, which
includes a $5.0 million sub-limit for letters of credit.  With the
prior approval of the administrative agent, we may increase the total
commitments by up to $15.0 million for a total commitment under the Revolving
Credit Facility of $20.0 million.  The Revolving Credit Facility is
available to finance working capital, capital expenditures and other general
corporate purposes. As of December 31, 2007 we had a total of $8.0 million of
letters of credit issued (including $3.9 million which are secured by the
Revolving Credit Facility and the balance secured by restricted cash) and $1.1
million in borrowing capacity on the Revolving Credit Facility. There were no
amounts outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31,
2007.
  The
Credit Agreement also provides for a four-year term loan, or the Term Loan, in
the amount of $30.0 million. We borrowed $20.0 million concurrently with
the closing and used a portion of the proceeds from the Term Loan to pay off the
prior creditagreement. The Term Loan had $10.0 million in borrowing
capacity as of December 31, 2007.
  The
interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan is a tiered
LIBOR-based rate that depends on our 12-month trailing EBITDA. As of December
31, 2007, the interest rate was 7.075%.
  We will
only pay interest on the Term Loan during the first 12 months of its four-year
term.  Commencing on the last day of the first calendar quarter after
the first anniversary of the closing, the outstanding amount of the Term Loan
will amortize on a straight-line schedule with the payment of 1/16 of the
original principal amount of the Term Loan due quarterly.  We will pay
all unpaid amounts at maturity, which is September 14, 2011.
  The
Credit Agreement includes customary representations, warranties, negative and
affirmative covenants, including certain financial covenants relating to net
funded debt to EBITDA ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio, as well as a
prohibition against paying dividends, limitations on unfunded capital
expenditures of $25.0 million per year, customary events of default and certain
default provisions that could result in acceleration of the Credit
Agreement.

  The net
proceeds received from the Term Loan were reduced by $0.3 million for fees paid
to Bank of America and its agents.  We treated these fees as a debt
discount and will amortize the fees to interest expense using the interest
method over the term of the loan. We recorded less than $0.1 million of related
amortization during the year ended December 31, 2007. As of December 31, 2007,
the balance on the Term Loan, net of the discount, was $19.8 million. We
incurred other costs of less than $0.1 million in connection with entering into
the Credit Agreement, which we recorded as debt issue costs and will amortize
over the term of the Credit Agreement.
 
 As a result of the transactions
discussed above, we recorded a loss on extinguishment of prior debt of less than
$0.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2007. The loss on extinguishment
of debt is included in the caption Other, net within the Non-operating (income)
expense section of theconsolidated statements of
operations.

December 31, 2007, which does not reflect the debt discount, is as follows (in

 Also
during the year ended December 31, 2007, we paid off the term loans and line of
credit issued pursuant to the loan and security agreement assumed in the
VitalStream acquisition, as discussed in note 3.
 
 At
December 31, 2006, we had a $5.0 million revolving credit facility and a $17.5
million term loan (note payable) under the former loan and security
agreement with Silicon Valley Bank. The note payable had a fixed interest rate
of 7.5% and was paid off in connection with the new Credit Agreement discussed
above. There were $3.9 million of letters of credit previously outstanding under
the former revolving credit facility which have been secured with restricted
cash and are in the process of being secured by the new Revolving Credit
Facility. There was no outstanding balance under the former revolving credit
facility as of December 31, 2006.
 The carrying value of our notes payable as of December 31, 2007
and 2006, approximate fair value as the interest rates approximate current
market rates of similar debt obligations.

 We
account for income taxes under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and
tax bases of assets and liabilities, and are measured using the enacted tax
rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to
reverse. We provide a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to
their estimated realizable value. We had no income tax provision or benefit for
the year ended December 31, 2005.
  A
reconciliation of the effect of applying the federal statutory rate and the
effective income tax rate on our income tax provision (benefit) is as

 As of
December 31, 2007, we have U.S. net operating loss carryforwards for federal tax
purposes of approximately $589.4 million that will expire through 2026. Of the
total U.S. net operating loss carryforwards, $13.3 million of net operating
losses relate to the deduction of stock compensation that will be tax-effected
and the benefit credited to additional paid in capital when realized. In
addition, we have alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards of approximately
$0.2 million, which have an indefinite carryforward period, and foreign net
operating loss carryforwards of approximately $39.3 million that will begin to
expire in 2008.

  The
future utilization of the U.S. net operating losses is subject to certain
limitations imposed by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Under this
provision, we will be precluded from utilizing approximately $215.7 million of
our $589.4 million in net operating losses. Also, the occurrence of additional
changes in ownership pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code may
have the impact of additional limitations on the future utilization of our U.S.
net operating losses.
 
 As
prescribed under SFAS No. 109, we periodically evaluate the recoverability of
the deferred tax assets and the appropriateness of the valuation
allowance.  For U.S. tax purposes, a valuation allowance of
approximately $173.7 million has been established against the U.S. deferred tax
assets that we do not believe are more likely than not to be
realized.  We will continue to assess the requirement for a valuation
allowance on a quarterly basis and, at such time when it is determined that it
is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized, the
valuation allowance will be reduced accordingly.
 
 During
the fourth quarter of 2007, we concluded that it was more likely than not thatU.K.deferred tax assets will be realized in
future years.  TheU.K.deferred tax assets primarily consist
of net operating loss carryforwards in the amount of $11.6 million as ofDecember 31,
2007.  We
therefore released $4.4 million of the valuation allowance associated withU.K.deferred tax assets, which resulted in
the recognition of a $4.4 million tax benefit.  The tax benefit was
offset by a liability for uncertain tax positions of $0.9 million, discussed
below, for a net recognized tax benefit of $3.5 million.  On the
accompanying balance sheet, $0.5 million of the tax benefit is reflected as a
current deferred tax asset because realization is anticipated to occur within
the next 12 months.  The resulting non-current deferred tax asset is
$3.0 million.
 
 As discussed in note 3 we acquired
VitalStream in February 2007, resulting in the addition of $13.5 million in
deferred tax assets, primarily consisting of $34.5 million in net operating loss
carryforwards. The acquisition of VitalStream was a stock-for-stock transaction
treated as a tax-free reorganization. The difference between the tax basis and
the net book value of VitalStream assets is treated as a temporary difference
and is reported as a deferred tax asset in the table above.
 
 It is our
policy to reinvest foreign earnings indefinitely within each country when
foreign operations become profitable. Accordingly, no deferred taxes have been
recorded for the difference between our financial and tax basis investment in
foreign entities.  A portion of these earnings were distributed to the
U.S. and resulted in U.S. dividend income (eliminated in consolidation for
financial statement purposes) and reduced the U.S. net operating loss
carryforward.  The distribution was not subject to withholding taxes.
No other foreign distributions have occurred and no provision or benefit is made
for income taxes that would be payable upon the distribution of future foreign
earnings.  Because it is the intention of management to reinvest
future profits within each country, it is not practicable to determine the
amount of the unrecognized deferred income tax liability related to future
foreign earnings.
 
 Effective
January 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of FIN 48.  FIN 48
clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a
company’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS
No. 109.  FIN 48 requires a company to determine whether it
is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination
based upon the technical merits of the position. If the more-likely-than-not
threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the
amount to recognize in the financial statements.
 
 Upon the
adoption of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007, we recognized no increase in our
liability for unrecognized tax benefits. A reconciliation of the beginning and
ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in

 We, as a
lessee, have entered into leasing arrangements relating to office and service
point rental space and office equipment that are classified as operating leases.
Initial lease terms range from two to 30 years and contain various periods of
free rent and renewal options. However, rent expense is recorded on a
straight-line basis over the initial lease term and renewal periods that are
reasonably assured. Certain leases require that we maintain letters of credit or
restricted cash balances to ensure payment.  Future minimum lease
payments on non-cancelable operating leases are as follows at December 31, 2007

 Vendor
disputes
 
 In
delivering our services, we rely on a number of Internet network,
telecommunication and other vendors. We work directly with these vendors to
provision services such as establishing, modifying or discontinuing services for
our customers. Because of the volume of activity, billing disputes inevitably
arise. These disputes typically stem from disagreements concerning the starting
and ending dates of service, quoted rates, usage and various other factors.
Disputed costs, both in the vendors’ favor and our favor, are researched and
discussed with vendors on an ongoing basis until ultimately resolved. We record
the cost and a liability based on our estimate of the most likely outcome of the
dispute. These estimates are periodically reviewed by management and modified in
light of new information or developments, if any. Because estimates regarding
disputed costs include assessments of uncertain outcomes, such estimates are
inherently vulnerable to changes due to unforeseen circumstances that could
materially and adversely affect our results of operations and cash
flows.
 
 As part
of our acquisition of CO Space on June 20, 2000, we assumed a pre-acquisition
accounts payable liability of $1.3 million. As disclosed in our 2003 financial
statements, we wrote off the $1.3 million liability amount as we believed the
obligation no longer existed. In the fourth quarter of 2006, we received an
inquiry from the vendor, ADC Telecommunications, Inc., or ADC, regarding the
status of the former $1.3 million payable and on March 19, 2007, ADC sued us in
Minnesota state court. We settled this suit on June 29, 2007 for less than $0.1
million, which we expensed when we incurred the settlement cost and associated
legal costs.
 
 Concentrations
of risk
 
 We
participate in an industry that is characterized by relatively high
volatility and strong competition for market share. We and others in the
industry encounter aggressive pricing practices, evolving customer demands and
continual technological developments. Our operating results could be negatively
affected should we not be able to adequately address pricing strategies,
customers’ demands, and technological advancements.
  We depend
on other companies to supply various key elements of our infrastructure
including the network access local loops between our network access points and
our Internet network service providers and the local loops between our network
access points and our customers’ networks. In addition, the routers and switches
used in our network infrastructure are currently supplied by a limited number of
vendors. Furthermore, we do not carry significant supply inventories of the
products and equipment that we purchase and use, and we have no guaranteed
supply arrangements with our vendors. A loss of a significant vendor could delay
build-out of our infrastructure and increase our costs. If our limited source of
suppliers fails to provide products or services that comply with evolving
Internet standards or that interoperate with other products or services we use
in our network infrastructure, we may be unable to meet all or a portion of our
customer service commitments, which could adversely affect our business, results
of operations and financial condition.
  Litigation
  We are subject
to legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of
business. Although the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable,
we do not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve these matters will have a
material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or
cash flows.

  In July
2004, we received an assessment from the New York State Department of Taxation
and Finance for $1.4 million, including interest and penalties, resulting from
an audit of our state franchise tax returns for the years 2000-2002. The
assessment related to an unpaid license fee due upon our entry into the state
for the privilege of doing business in the state. Management recorded its best
estimate of the probable liability resulting from the assessment in accrued
liabilities and general and administrative expense as of June 30, 2004 and
engaged a professional service provider to initiate an appeal. In April
2005, New York State Department of Taxation and Finance reduced
the assessment to $0.1 million including interest and waived penalties. The
substantial decrease from the original assessment resulted from including the
weighted averages of investment capital and subsidiary capital, along with
business capital, used in New York in determining the apportionment factor. The
original assessment was based solely on an apportionment of business capital,
while investment capital and subsidiary capital both have significantly lower
apportionment percentages to New York. The adjustment for the revised New York
assessment, as well as other tax accruals based on our best estimate of probable
liabilities, resulted in a reduction of non-income based tax expenses of
approximately $1.7 million as of March 31, 2005. These tax adjustments are
reflected in accrued liabilities and general and administrative expense in the
accompanying financial statements.

purchase right, or a Right, for each outstanding share of common stock, par
value $0.001 per share, of the Company. The dividend was payable on March 23,
2007 to the stockholders of record on that date. Each Right entitles the
registered holder to purchase from the Company 1/1000 of a share of Series
B Preferred Stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share, or the Preferred
Shares, at a price of $100.00 per 1/1000 of a Preferred Share, subject to

              STOCK-BASED
      COMPENSATION PLANS
 
 General
 
 We have
adopted SFAS No. 123R and related interpretations, using the modified
prospective transition method and therefore have not restated prior periods’
results. SFAS No. 123R establishes the accounting for equity instruments
exchanged for employee services. Under SFAS No. 123R, share-based compensation
cost is measured at the grant date based on the calculated fair value of the
award. The expense is recognized over the employee’s requisite service period,
generally the vesting period of the award. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No.
123R on January 1, 2006, we accounted for stock-based compensation plans under
the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and related
interpretations. We also provided disclosures in accordance with SFAS No. 123,
“Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” as amended by SFAS No. 148,
“Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosures—an Amendment
of FASB Statement No. 123.” Accordingly, no expense was recognized for options
to purchase our common stock that were granted with an exercise price equal to
fair market value at the date of grant and no expense was recognized in
connection with purchases under our employee stock purchase plans for any
periods prior to January 1, 2006. As a result of adopting SFAS No. 123R on
January 1, 2006, our income before taxes and net income was $6.5 million and
$5.1 million lower, or $0.14 and $0.15 per basic and $0.13 and $0.14 per diluted
share, lower for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, than
had we continued to account for stock-based compensation under APB Opinion No.
25.
  Deferred compensation related to 0.1 million shares of restricted
stock was granted in connection with the September 30, 2005 employment
agreement between the Company and its current President and Chief
Executive Officer. This deferred compensation was reflected in stockholders’
equity as of December 31, 2005, and is being recognized ratably in
accordance with the terms of vesting. Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the
unamortized balance of the deferred compensation was reclassified to
additional paid-in capital.
 
 In June
2006, our stockholders approved a measure to reprice certain outstanding options
under our existing equity incentive plans. Options with an exercise price per
share greater than or equal to $13.00 were eligible for the repricing. The
repricing was implemented through an exchange program under which eligible
participants were offered the opportunity to exchange their eligible options for
new options to purchase shares. Each new option had substantially the same terms
and conditions as the eligible options cancelled except as follows:
 
 ·
              The
      exercise price per share of each replacement option granted in the
      exchange offer was $14.46, the average of the closing prices of the common
      stock as reported by the American Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ Global
      Market, as applicable, for the 15 consecutive trading days ending
      immediately prior to the grant date of the replacement
      options;
  ·
              For
      all eligible options with an exercise price per share greater than or
      equal to $20.00, the exchange ratio was 1-for-2;
  and
  ·
              Each
      new option has a three-year vesting period, vesting in equal monthly
      installments over three years, so long as the grantee continues to be a
      full-time employee of the company and a ten-year
  term.
 
 A total
of 50 employees eligible to participate in the exchange offer tendered, and
we accepted for cancellation, eligible options to purchase an aggregate of
344,987 shares of common stock, representing 49.4% of the total shares of common
stock underlying options eligible for exchange in the exchange offer. We issued
replacement options to purchase an aggregate of 179,043 shares of common stock
in exchange for the cancellation of the tendered eligible options.
 
 In
accordance with SFAS No. 123R, we will recognize $0.1 million of incremental
compensation cost over the three-year vesting period as a result of the option
exchange. The incremental expense was measured as the excess of the fair value
of the repriced options over the fair value of the original options immediately
before the terms of the original options were modified. The measurement was
based on the share price and other pertinent factors at the date of
modification.

values of outstanding stock options have been estimated at the date of grant
using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The significant weighted average
assumptions used for estimating the fair value of the activity under our stock
option plans for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, were expected
terms of 6.2, 5.7 and 4.0 years, respectively; historical volatilities of 114%,
123% and 118%, respectively; risk free interest rates of 4.44%, 4.63% and 4.22%,
respectively and no dividend yield. The weighted average estimated fair value
per share of our employee stock options at grant date was $13.71, $7.75 and
$3.50 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005,
respectively.  The expected term represents the weighted average
period of time that granted options are expected to be outstanding, giving
consideration to the vesting schedules and our historical exercise patterns.
Because our options are not publicly traded, assumed volatility is based on the
historical volatility of our stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the
U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods
corresponding to the expected life of the options. We have also used historical
data to estimate option exercises, employee termination and stock option
forfeiture rates.

 Stock compensation and option plans
 
 On June
23, 2005, we adopted the Internap Network Services Corporation 2005 Incentive
Stock Plan, or the 2005 Plan, which was amended and restated on March 15, 2006.
The 2005 Plan provides for the issuance of stock options, stock appreciation
rights, stock grants and stock unit grants to eligible employees and directors
and is administered by the compensation committee of the board of directors. A
total of 6.8 million shares of stock are reserved for issuance under the 2005
Plan, comprised of 2.0 million shares designated in the 2005 Plan plus 1.0
million shares that remain available for issuance of options and awards and 3.8
million shares of unexercised options under certain pre-existing plans. We will
not make any future grants under the specified preexisting plans, but each of
the specified pre-existing plans were made a part of the 2005 Plan so that the
shares available for issuance under the 2005 Plan may be issued in connection
with grants made under those plans. As of December 31, 2007, 3.0 million options
were outstanding, 0.7 million shares of non-vested restricted stock awards were
outstanding and 2.3 million shares of stock were available for issuance
under the 2005 plan.
 
 The 2005
Plan also provides that in any calendar year, no eligible employee or director
shall be granted an option to purchase more than 1.4 million shares of
stock or a stock appreciation right based on the appreciation with respect to
more than 1.4 million shares of stock, and no stock grant or stock unit
grant shall be made to any eligible employee or director in any calendar year
where the fair market value of the stock subject to such grant on the date of
the grant exceeds $3.0 million.  Furthermore, no more than 0.7 million
non-forfeitable shares of stock shall be issued pursuant to stock
grants.
 
 As a
result of the acquisition of VitalStream as discussed in note 3, we assumed the
VitalStream Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan, or the VitalStream Plan, and all
of the corresponding options to purchase stock. Under the terms of the merger
agreement, each VitalStream stock option that was outstanding and unexercised
was converted into an option to purchase Internap common stock and we assumed
that stock option in accordance with the terms of the applicable VitalStream
stock option plan and terms of the stock option agreement. Based on
VitalStream's stock options outstanding at February 20, 2007, we converted
options to purchase approximately 3.0 million shares of VitalStream common stock
into options to purchase approximately 1.5 million shares of Internap common
stock. We determined the fair value of the outstanding options using a
Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions: volatility of
48.8% to 120.1%; risk-free interest rates ranging from 4.7% to 5.1%; remaining
expected lives ranging from 0.18 to 6.25 years; and dividend yield of
zero.
 
 The
VitalStream Plan provided for the granting of incentive stock options,
non-statutory stock options or shares of common stock directly to certain key
employees, members of the board of directors, consultants, and independent
contractors according to the terms of the plan. There were 5.4 million
VitalStream shares, or 2.8 million Internap shares on a post-converted basis,
reserved for issuance under the plan and 0.5 million VitalStream shares, or 0.3
million Internap shares on a post-converted basis, available for grant.
Generally, the assumed options had exercise prices equal to the stock price on
the date of grant and had contractual terms of 5 years. Vesting schedules ranged
from quarterly periods over one year to four years with 1/4th vesting
after one year and 1/16th vesting
each quarter thereafter.
 
 During
July 1999, we adopted the 1999 Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan, or the
Director Plan. The Director Plan provides for the grant of non-qualified stock
options to non-employee directors. A total of 0.4 million shares of our common
stock have been reserved for issuance under the Director Plan. Under the terms
of the Director Plan, non-employee directors receive fully-vested and
exercisable initial option for 8,000 shares of our common stock on the date such
person is first elected or appointed as a non-employee director. The Director
Plan provides that on the day after each of our annual stockholder meetings,
starting with the annual meeting in 2000, each non-employee director receives a
fully vested and exercisable option for 2,000 shares, provided such person has
been a non-employee director for at least the prior six months. The options are
exercisable as long as the non-employee director continues to serve as a
director, employee or consultant of Internap or any of its affiliates. On
January 18, 2007, the Board of Directors approved certain changes,
effective as of January 1, 2007, to compensation for non-employee
Directors. The annual stock option grant to each director is now an option to
acquire up to 5,000 shares instead of an option to acquire up to 2,000 shares of
our common stock. These options also have an exercise price equal to 100% of the
fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant and are fully vested
and exercisable as of the date of grant. Each Director also receives an annual
grant of 2,500 restricted stock awards , which vest ratably over a three-year
period, subject to the terms of the 2005 Plan, under which these restricted
stock awards are granted.  In addition, new non-employee Directors
receive a grant of 12,500 restricted stock awards , which vest ratably over a
three-year period, subject to the terms of the 2005 Plan and the stock grant
agreement under which the restricted stock awards are granted.  As of
December 31, 2007, 0.1 million options were outstanding and 0.2 million shares
were available for grant pursuant to the Director Plan.

 NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
  The
option price for each share of stock subject to an option shall generally be no
less than the fair market value of a share of stock on the date the option is
granted. Stock options generally have a maximum term of ten years from the date
of grant. Incentive stock options, or ISOs, may be granted only to eligible
employees and if granted to a 10% stockholder, the terms of the grant will be
more restrictive than for other eligible employees. Terms for stock appreciation
rights are similar to those of options. Upon exercise of a stock appreciation
right, the compensation committee of the board of directors shall determine the
form of payment as cash, shares of stock issued under the 2005 Plan based on the
fair market value of a share of stock on the date of exercise, or a combination
of cash and shares.
  Options
and stock appreciation rights become exercisable in whole or in part from time
to time as determined at the date of grant by the board of directors or the
compensation committee of the board of directors, as applicable. Stock options
generally vest 25% after one year and monthly over the following three years,
except for non-employee directors who usually receive immediately exercisable
options. Similarly, conditions, if any, under which stock will be issued under
stock grants or cash will be paid under stock unit grants and the conditions
under which the interest in any stock that has been issued will become
non-forfeitable are determined at the date of grant by the compensation
committee. If the only condition to the forfeiture of a stock grant or stock
unit grant is the completion of a period of service, the minimum period of
service will generally be three years from the date of grant. Common stock has
been reserved under each of the stock compensation plans to satisfy option
exercises with newly issued stock. However, we may also use treasury stock
to satisfy option exercises
 
 During
2006, we completed an internal review of our prior stock option granting
practices. As a result of the review, we determined that approximately $0.2
million of net expense should have been recognized in prior periods in
accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.”
The expense was due to a small number of grants made in 2002 and 2003 that had
exercise prices that were lower than our stock price at the date of grant and
one grant that should have been accounted for as a variable stock option, in
accordance with FIN 28, “Accounting for Stock Appreciation Rights and Other
Variable Stock Option or Award Plans, an interpretation of APB Opinions No. 15
and 25.” Substantially all of the net expense should have been recorded
between April 1, 2003 and December 31, 2004. We have considered the impact of
the error, including the assessment of any potential impact on prior period loan
covenants and concluded that the error was not material to our financial
statements for any prior period. Based on this evaluation, we recorded the
expense in the current period and it is included in general and administrative
expense in the accompanying statement of operations.
  Option activity for each of the three years ended December 31,
2007, 2006, and 2005 under all of our stock option plans is as follows (shares

 Employee
stock purchase plans
 
 Effective
June 15, 2004, we adopted the 2004 Internap Network Services Corporation
Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or the 2004 ESPP. The purpose of the 2004 ESPP is
to encourage ownership of our common stock by each of our eligible employees by
permitting eligible employees to purchase our common stock at a discount.
Eligible employees may elect to participate in the 2004 ESPP for two consecutive
calendar quarters, referred to as a “purchase period,” during a designated
period immediately preceding the purchase period. Purchase periods have been
established as the six-month periods ending June 30 and December 31 of each
year. A participation election is in effect until it is amended or revoked by
the participating employee, which may be done at any time on or before the last
day of the purchase period.
  Initially, the price for shares of common stock
purchased under the 2004 ESPP was the lesser of 85% of the closing sale price
per share of common stock on the first day of the purchase period or 85% of such
closing price on the last day of the purchase period. The 2004 ESPP was intended
to be a non-compensatory plan for both tax and financial reporting purposes.
However, upon our adoption of SFAS No. 123R in the first quarter of 2006, we
recognized compensation expense of $0.1 million during the year ended December
31, 2006, representing the estimated fair value of the benefit to participants
as of the beginning of the purchase period. In January 2006, the 2004 ESPP was
amended to change the purchase price from 85% to 95% of the closing sale price
per share of common stock on the last day of the purchase period and to
eliminate the alternative to use the first day of the offering period as a basis
for determining the purchase price. This amendment restored the plan to being
non-compensatory for financial reporting purposes and was effective for the
purchase period July 1 through December 31, 2006. As such, no additional
compensation expense for the 2004 ESPP was recognized after June 30, 2006. Less
than 0.1 million and approximately 0.1 million shares were granted under the
2004 ESPP during each of the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. Cash received from participation in the 2004 ESPP was $0.2 million
and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
At December 31, 2007, 0.3 million shares were reserved for future issuance under
the 2004 ESPP.

              RELATED
      PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
 As
discussed in note 6, we had an investment in Aventail, who was also a customer
for data center and connectivity services. We invoiced Aventail $0.2 million
during 2007 and $0.3 million during both 2006 and 2005. As of December 31, 2007
and 2006, our outstanding receivable balance with Aventail was less than $0.1
million. As discussed in note 4, we incurred a charge during the period ended
June 30, 2007, totaling $1.2 million, representing the write-off of the
remaining carrying value of our investment in series D preferred stock of
Aventail.
 
 One of
our executive officers has a material equity ownership interest in and is a
member of the board of directors of a customer of ours, Surfline/Wavetrak, Inc.,
or Surfline. We invoiced Surfline $0.1 million during 2007, of which $0.1
million was outstanding as of December 31, 2007. Surfline was not a customer
prior to 2007.
 
 We have
entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and executive
officers for the indemnification of and advancement of expense to such persons
to the fullest extent permitted by law. We also intend to enter into these
agreements with our future directors and executive officers.

              UNAUDITED
      QUARTERLY RESULTS
 
 The
following table sets forth selected unaudited quarterly data for the years ended
December 31, 2007 and 2006.  We have revised our quarterly statement
of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 to appropriately record
(1) $0.5 million for sales adjustments, which reduce net accounts receivable and
revenue, and (2) $0.1 million for accretion of interest income that we initially
included as unrealized gain in accumulated other comprehensive income within
stockholders’ equity.  The effect of these revisions had no impact on
our consolidated statement of cash flows.  We have determined that
these adjustments are not material to our consolidated financial statements for
any of the affected quarterly periods. Accordingly, we have not revised the
2007 quarterly financial statements included in our previously filed Form 10-Q
for the quarterly periods ended March 31, June 30 and September 30,
2007 for these adjustments. The quarterly operating results below are not
necessarily indicative of those in future periods (in thousands, except for
share data).
