The attitude in this email I have encountered elsewhere.  Apple pays for bandwidth, customers pay for access. Not sure 
why their release strategy is so highly critiqued. Microsoft and others have their own strategies for incremental 
downloads, caching, etc.. Apple has theirs. 

Seems like most consumers want the update and are actively fetching it vs having older software live forever and not be 
updated. Overall I see this as a win.

I don't see how operators could tolerate this, honestly. I can't think of a single provider who does not 
oversubscribe their access platform... Which leads me to this question :

Why does apple feel it is okay to send every mobile device an update on a single day?
