The consensus seems to be for providers to install CDN servers, if they arent able to cope up with an occasional OS

That system by the way is annoying when your mobile network operator are so
oversubscribed/old-fashioned that I had to wait over 6 months before I
could update to Android ICS... I really don't want my ability to update the
software on my phone to be controlled by a teleco, and these large teleco's
really should have Akamai caches in place by now - if they even know what
that is.
