Re: iPhone updates and required bandwidth

[Greg Whynott <Greg.Whynott () oicr on ca>]

I set up an OS X server which hosts updates for the rest of the company,  so the OS X client machines poll/pull updates 
from the internal machine as opposed to 100 of them pulling the same updates over the internet.  saves bucket loads of 
bandwidth and  you can "pre ok" individual packages,  so the client just updates without prompting.   I'm not sure but 
I suspect they might have something which allows their other devices to poll this same source.  it would seem 
reasonable anyway..  

probably not a very useful answer but there it is.  8)
