Verizon - Will they play in the Infrastructure Services game
I had a very interesting briefing at Verizon Business last week. I have been very cynical about the ability to get a telco to operate successfully as an IT Services provider. I still am. However Verizon is having ago at it, they have current strengths in security and of course a network globally that is a benchmark.
I personally think that they can have the potential to threaten but will need to acquire to do so. This is something that they would not be afraid to do. If they were to look at the likes of CSC, grab the methodology and accounts, it could set them up as a genuine threat to IBM and HP. It may come out of left field, but it is something to watch out for.
