Apple/Google Update: Swiss American Securities Says No Statement Made About Apple

Swiss American Securities just called me after reading my blog post to let me know that they have no record of anyone at Swiss American Securities saying that Apple plans to drop Akamai and switch to Google for their content delivery.

Many analysts all sent me the same supposed quote this morning from Swiss American Securities but interestingly enough, no one seems to know where the quote actually came from, who said it, and where it was first reported.

Another reason why I am glad I am not a financial analyst. Way too much speculation without facts.

There is no question that iTunes is currently using Akamai. Not only can this be verified by looking at TCP connections but also there was a huge bump in the music download metric on the Akamai site xmas morning, kind of like what would happen if millions of kids woke up to ipods and began getting music from the iTunes site (which, again, is using Akamai for CDN).
