Frost
& Sullivan, a US business consulting company, has released an
analytic report which reads that Apple is about to start developing
network infrastructure in order to control users and their content. In
particular, Apple is already working on a content delivery network. This
network will be used to distribute the content from App Store iTunes
and other Apple projects including iCloud.
At this
point, Apple hasn't made any official statement concerning the issue.
Still, the experts working for the consulting firm are sure that the
work is already underway. The thing is that Apple hired many experts in
communications and network engineering. Today, Apple is outsourcing
content delivery tasks to such companies as Level 3 Communications and
Akamai Technologies.
