Verizon Waiting for Jobs to ‘Get Old’
Waiting for Jobs to get old? Uh huh, this is just a CEO scared to death that Mobile service is going to be relegated to a commodity and it just won’t matter what provider you use, as long as you can use the tool you want. That that Verizon know anything about letting people use the tools they want.
Verizon Waiting for Jobs to ‘Get Old’: “
Ivan Seidenberg, chairman and CEO of Verizon, when asked about Apple in an interview with The Financial Times:
As handsets become banking tools and games controllers, he argues, mobile operators can up-end other companies’ business models. ‘It’s very cool. And Steve Jobs eventually will get old… I like our chances.’
What’s particularly odd about this remark is that Seidenberg is nine years old than Jobs.
