Apple Dropping Akamai in Favor of Google? I Don't Buy It

Yes Brewer. Apple may be looking to create a secondary system on top of their existing relationship with Akemai – let’s call it a privately peered network (like an access road built right next to and running along with a major highway) tied into the major data centers because of the stress on Akemai’s network (with Apple's new offerings) - it would be increased so dramatically due to their new content offerings that they’re looking to limit any possible liabilities/ points of failure that could/ would affect their products, services and stock. Secondly, the solution that I've all to briefly mentioned would reduce their operating expenses with Akemai dramatically.
