MCI Picks Verizon Again







MCI Picks Verizon Again

MCI Picks Verizon Again 03/29/2005 02:05 PM

Qwest has been continually wooing MCI over the past few weeks, and yesterday made an offer in which they demanded an answer from MCI by next Tuesday. Apparently, MCI didn't need that much time (or, really, any time at all), as they almost immediately accepted Verizon's latest (slightly larger) offer and shunned Qwest's offer. It appears MCI stills sees much more synergy in working with a strong Verizon than a weak Qwest.

Verizon CEO Derides


Verizon CEO Derides 04/16/2005 09:36 AM
Vitriol spews from Verizon CEO's lips on municipal networks, customer expectations, cancellation fees: Get this man a Valium, stat! Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg needs to calm down a bit. He thinks San Francisco's municipal network idea is "one of the dumbest ideas I've ever heard" because the network has to be built, designed, and operated. Oddly, Verizon has no expertise in building campus-wide Wi-Fi networks, and thus isn't really qualified to express that sort of opinion. I had the same reaction to reading a Comcast spokesperson's critique of the potential of a city-wide wireless network: Comcast doesn't build that; they're not qualified to say it's possible or not. What's even funnier about this quote is that Verizon will probably bid to build city-wide networks in Minneapolis and Philadelphia....
