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 s=
ingle day?
Never mind the fact that we are we ones on the last mile responsible for ge=
tting it to their customers, 1gb per sub is pretty serious.. Why are they n=
ot caching at their head ends, dslams, etc?

The IOS7 upgrade is ~750 megabyte download for the phones/pods, and ~950
megabytes for ipad. There are quite a few devices out there times these
amounts to download...
