We have been hearing from a lot of people that RIM has been piling up the hardware capacity and infrastructure upgrades recently. This includes App World updates, database updates, network capacity updates and more which hence, makes us wonder how much of this is in preparation for BlackBerry 10 release. There has been quite a bit of speculation about how heavily RIM will utilize the BlackBerry NOC in BlackBerry 10 and we are eagerly waiting to see what they have in mind especially for App World and BlackBerry Messenger.The bulk of it we have been hearing is from the EMEA region (Europe, the Middle East and Africa) where they have been disconnecting all the users (100% affected for over 6 hours) so as to do the upgrades.
What do you guys make of this?
*updated*
Looks like this whole bunch of upgrades and updates on infrastructure if due to RIM preparing the backend for LTE (Long Term) devices!
