Well you may be correct, but regardless, Apple really doesn't want to
be upsetting customers. I'm not sure if they feel it might be a risk
to purchase more bandwidth, don't have the hardware and software to
handle the larger volume of traffic even if a temporary increase, not
doing proper load balancing, or what the situation is. Either way it's
important for any company when performing such a massive upgrade and
rollout of a new product to be prepared to handle the load. I'm only
speculating on why or what could be the cause since really no one
knows except Apple. It could even be an unforeseen problem they just
haven't made public. It's just a bit unfortunate to hear how the media
is making light of the situation and AT&T isn't really helping
matters. I guess Apple probably is feeling like their face is being a
little rubbed into it. grin

I agree Scott. I appreciate that they're trying to do this, but they
overdid it. They probably don't have enough bandwidth or server
space for this. I honestly think less people will buy the IPhone
because of the downtime.
