I agree as well, Rogers over here in Canada seems to be handling
things the same way.

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.
