This is not going to cause any interruptions in normal operations. We're just going to show users that they are entitled to software updates, and have them call in or download those update. Second, we don't anticipate any "crashes"... we evaluated that carefully before making this announcement. Third, with the facilities in-stores, on the phone, and online... we anticipate the industry will be able to meet consumer needs, even while we're pushing customers to go in and get those updates for their phones. We do not see the naysaying complaints as valid. The only servers that will be impacted are the ones that are supposed to be serving updates in the first place... we're just helping consumers get their voices heard at the carriers and the manufacturers. After all, the manufacturers say that consumers don't want software updates in a high enough demand. The only way to prove that wrong, is to get customers to inquire about updates.
