   Of course, but you mentioned 50 other neighbours. Those 50 won't update   
   thousands of iPhones all at ones.   
      
   The bottleneck will be much further down te road...

   So much for impressions...

   Here everything is ready except for that last meter. The IXs are ready, the   
   backbone is ready, the DSLAMs and CMTSs are ready. The bottleneck is the CPEs.    
      
   Cheers, Michiel
