Apple expected to be building high-speed data networks to handle traffic on its own: Report

Apple Inc is setting up a high-speed network and upgrading how it builds data centers, to compete better with Amazon.com Inc, Google Inc and Microsoft Corp in cloud services, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the plans. The plan entails connecting Apple’s data centers in California, Nevada, North Carolina and Oregon, and others to get content closer to Internet hubs in some densely populated markets, Bloomberg reported. The iPhone maker said in February it would spend 1.7 billion euros to build two data centers in Europe. Apple said the centers, in Ireland and Denmark, would power Apple’s online services, including the iTunes Store, App Store, iMessage, Maps and Siri for customers in Europe.
