AS # is for BGP advertisements. Akamai has a program for ISPs who use a
good deal of bandwidth to their network.

Basically you give them your AS (you have to be multi homed) and they
see if you meet the minimum bandwidth to their network. Your upstream(s)
might already be accelerated so you should make some inquiries.

Just contact Akamai, and give them your AS #, if you are using any amount of
bandwidth they will colocate in your facilities (for free), so you can serve
much of the Akamai content locally.

Whats your thoughts on blocking limelight IP¹s just for the customers that
are abusing the service.

It would be just about impossible to do. Netflix uses Akamai, and Hulu uses
a mixture of Akamai and Limelight for "content delivery" services. These are
the same content-delivery services used by just about everyone that has lots
of content to distribute to lots of people (I'm pretty sure Microsoft uses
Akamai for Windows Update, for instance) - Akamai claims they're responsible
for 15 to 20 percent of all Web traffic on any given day, so blocking Akamai
wholesale would probably be the worst idea.
