Breaking from current CDN infrastructure without reasonable accessibility to the new CDN is a problem.

Subject: Apple moved from CDN, and ARIN whois
Hi,
Interesting, it seems AS6185 moved traffic from all CDN to their own
content network.
I noticed big spikes in traffic and complaints about slowness, figured
out, Apple content (especially updates) are not coming from a numerous
co-hosted CDN, but became "live",
congesting upstreams.
So much efforts on collocating endless CDN in premises to keep things
closer to users and handle traffic surges, and yet again, some companies
keep inventing their own.
P.S. I dont know if it is bug, but whois at ARIN return "No match found
for n + 17.0.0.0/8" for 17.0.0.0/8,
but works fine for single ip from this range, like 17.0.0.0, and returns
info about 17.0.0.0/8
