Verizon's current execs remind me of the execs at AT&T. They also bragged about moving into 'the future' and went out of their way to get out of most things basic telecomm, only to make a mess of all of it, and end up being purchased by baby Bells Ameritech, Bell South and Southwest Bell.
Verizon will end up no different. They have lost their way and are bored by telecommunications.
