I agree with the “walled garden” comment. It is the exact reason they lost my business last month. BTW they aren’t doing any big favors with the ETF fees like they claim. It was still $145 per phone after more than 1/2 the contract was fulfilled.

What’s wrong with being a dumb pipe? The first carrier that says that is all they are going to do and let Google, iPhone, and whatever apps on their network is going to win.

Verizon’s trying really hard to be AOL part 2 with their walled garden approach.

Immature? What could be more immature than one CEO linking his company’s ablity to compete to the mortality of another CEO?

lol. Completely understandable. Yesterday there was a comment on a spelling error rather then the post itself. It’s ridiculous to see what some people post…

Wow, got a thing against Seidenberg, do we?

It’s getting more difficult each day to read this website, with its increasingly immature comments.

Here’s my take on what appears to be a Freudian slip by Seidenberg:

Verizon CEO to Steve Jobs: Drop Dead
