They dropped the ball by not aggressively developing that piece of the business, allowing Vonage to grab market share and brand recognition, even when VoIP would have been a natural extention of their failing landline biz via broadband subscribers. Verizon Comm instead has been focusing on FIOS, which will take a much longer time to fully realize due to limited infrastructure.<BR/><BR/>The real interesting development is that it appears as if Verizon Wireless (co-owned by Verizon Comm and Vodaphone)[url=http://tech.blorge.com/Structure:%20/2007/09/21/verizonvodafone-to-ditch-cdma-for-better-4g-gsm-standard-by-2013/] will transition it's current CDMA infrastructure to the 4G GSM platform in the next 5 years[/url]. VZW has traditionally been a CDMA proponent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
