Hi Jared.

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.

Because it impacts other, non-Apple customers.  Or, it costs the ISP more
(passed through to all customers) to add capacity to handle an infrequent peak
load.

Question/suggestion:  Could Apple perhaps shift their release to a Saturday
morning?  I would think that this would go a long way to diluting the peak.
