| Ivan Seidenberg had a wide ranging discussion on the Charlie Rose Show recently about Verizon, his vision for the company, and his views on everything from the role broadband and wireless networks play in societal change to policy issues like net neutrality. I am biased I admit but I believe Ivan covers most of the major issues in our industry and provides a view of the future as he sees it for the communications industry. I am not surprised by the vision and understanding Ivan exhibits... |

| There is a lot of criticism on many fronts with regard to the broadband industry. In fact, when I attended a recent Free Press event, I heard many comments about the failure of the market place and the lack of competition.

S. remains one of the most innovative countries in the world. I think an untold part of this story however is role broadband deployment and connectivity... |

| I have long been involved in the assessment and development of tech policy for Verizon. Before working here, I also worked for a long time as a staffer and deputy staff director on Capitol Hill. I enjoy policy debates and the work around developing policy to address problems. If you read my posts on this blog, you’ll also see that I try to substantiate my points with relevant facts and statistics to buttress my position. I believe it is important to set out the facts as you see them as fully... |
