LowMac Walking Back the Go90 Cat.... Verizon CEO: Go90 ‘Over-Hyped,’ But ‘Expectations Are Realistic’

McAdam downplayed expectations for Go90, speaking at the JPMorgan financial conference in Boston. “I think maybe it did get a little over-hyped, and I’m sure we contributed to that to a certain extent,” McAdam said. “We didn’t believe it was going to move the needle on a $130 billion revenue stream overnight. It’s one of those things you have to work into.”

Problem is most VZ executives are pretty much all home grown. Need fresh blood who aren't stuck in the 80s.

These clueless Executives are running what was once a great telecom company into the ground by trying to be google. Miserable Fail! Purchasing crap like blo--ob90, AssfaceMillenialTV, AOL and soon to be Yahoo which are failing is all the proof I need to see how clueless they are at the top...they have no brand identity now, very convoluted.

You need younger, smarter, visionaries to run a company like he imagines in the future. Unfortunately that seals his own obsolescence. No company ever achieved greatness headed by corporate leeches.

If Verizon wants to move into being a tech giant as well, they need to rid the old fart executives such as him, Fran, Marni, etc.
