Yes Dan, you are right regarding the Google, however to date Google and Yahoo are rather exceptions than the rule for the content delivery over the web. It is estimated recently that only some 6% of the top 1000 businesses are compressing their web data when possible. The most common misunderstanding among the IT managers is that it is impossible (or very difficult at least) to compress the dynamically generated content. They used to choose the dynamic content as an alternative to the compressed one. I want them to know that they can happily benefit from both of these goodies, using OS and/or commercial software (and support) when necessary/appropriate.
