Verizon Ad 04/15/2005 04:31 PM

I don't know what's up with the Verizon ad sticking in Internet Explorer, but we're looking into it. Sorry for any annoyance.

Update: Okay, we killed it! Sorry about that. Apparently it was getting stuck on the page like a pop-up, although that's certainly not what it was intended to do. Thanks to the dozens of you who swore never to read the site again if we didn't fix it and the two of you who asked nicely. Ads are a necessary evil, but always feel free to let us know if they do anything obnoxious.

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....

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.

For someone that is supposed to be on the leading edge, Verizon CEO stated that having a municipal WiFi in San Francisco was one of the dumbest ideas he had ever heard of.

Obviously he said that to keep his stock higher in the market because fact be known they are probably scared to death of decentralization of broadband access. [SFGate]

Verizon to Expand EV-DO

Verizon to Expand EV-DO 09/23/2004 01:03 PM
Verizon Wireless said it will introduce its 3G service to 11 markets starting next week: In what appears to be a direct hit against Wi-Fi, Verizon also said it would launch its EV-DO service in 20 airports around the country. A recent report from TeleAnalytics showed that the use of Wi-Fi in airports has grown by more than 350 percent in a six-month period. It appears that Verizon is looking to capture a bit of that demand for wireless Internet access. However, its service still costs $80 a month while most Wi-Fi access charges are significantly less....

Verizon About To Spread The EV-DO

Verizon About To Spread The EV-DO 09/22/2004 05:16 PM
Rumors have been flying for the past month or so about where and when Verizon was going to next launch their 3G EV-DO wireless broadband service. Now, they're finally admitting that they're launching 11 new cities, and 8 additional airports this coming Monday and they still expect to expand much more before the end of the year. It certainly looks like their aggressive rollout plans are working. They say they're still focused on business customers using laptops and PDAs with datacards -- but that they'll launch EV-DO handsets and consumer plans sometime next year. Also, while the story doesn't say anything, the other rumors we're hearing are that the price is dropping as well, from the ever-popular $80/month to the slightly more reasonable $60/month range (though, this may only be for certain customers who do some negotiating).

MSN Mobile Available On Verizon

MSN Mobile Available On Verizon 08/05/2004 02:31 PM
Microsoft Corp. on Thursday said its mobile messaging software is available for Verizon Wireless cellular phones. MSN Mobile can be downloaded from Verizon's online store, and installed on any of three handsets, the LG VX6000, LG VX4400, and the LG VX4500. The software costs $2.49 a month for subscribers before Oct. 26. After that, subscriptions are $2.99 a month.

"MSN Mobile builds upon our relationship with Microsoft and is a welcomed addition to our Get It Now (online) service," said Jim Straight, vice president of data and multimedia services for Bedminster, N.J.-based, Verizon Wireless, a joint venture of Verizon Communications and Vodafone. MSN Mobile subscribers can access their MSN Hotmail inbox and set up alerts for incoming email messages. In addition, users can instant message with people on PCs or MSN Mobile handsets.

Verizon Says Don't Be Stupid

Verizon Says Don't Be Stupid 05/27/2004 09:35 AM
Sometimes you have to wonder why companies bother to put out press releases. We don't usually post press releases here, but some are just so odd, they deserve to be called out. Verizon Wireless put out a press release today that can best be described as telling people: don't be stupid while using your mobile phone. Basically, it's a list of things that you shouldn't do while driving and talking on your mobile phone ("Never take notes or write down phone numbers while driving!"). It's not as if someone is going to read this list, smack their head and say "Aha! No wonder I keep getting into accidents!" Then, at the end, they sneak in the real reason for this press release, first saying: "Dropped calls and dead zones can be frustrating for drivers," which may be true, but doesn't seem to have much to do with the rest of the press release. So, they quickly follow that up with the "oh, and by the way..." part of the press release reminding people that number portability is now in effect - so, if you must do stupid things on your mobile phone while driving, you might as well do them as a Verizon Wireless customer.

Well, it may be mobile, but Verizon's new Mobile Web 2.0 is hardly the web and it's hardly 2.0. Over at TheFeature I spent a little time working through the "features and enhancements" they announced and worked out that this is basically an expensive walled garden that has very little that's compelling to actual subscribers. Clickable headlines!?! What a concept! What will they think of next?

Verizon has officially announced its intention to carry the PalmOne Treo 650. Its Bluetooth Dial-Up Networking—as has been the case with all other carriers who offer the 650—will be crippled.

No word if it will offer EV-DO support or not, however. Since they don't mention it, I'm thinking maybe not.
