www.WirelessFederation.com/news: Verizon is reportedly interested in expanding its enterprise business, though it is unlikely to make any major network deals like its $28 billion acquisition of Alltel earlier this year. The firm is interested in Qwest Communication International’s long-haul network, and could possibly continue to takeover smaller wireless carriers, CEO Ivan Seidenberg, reportedly said.
Seidenberg said that the company is unlikely to pursue the remaining 45% stake in Verizon Wireless owned by Vodafone. The company has improved its wired and wireless networks, and Seidenberg said he is confident in the company’s ability to provide nearly unlimited bandwidth. He condemned Sprint’s Boost Mobile $50 unlimited plan for the potential network strain that could be induced by an influx of customers interested in cheap wireless connectivity.
Further, Seidenberg said that Apple would be more likely to work with Verizon when the network rolls out its 4G network, built on the same standards as AT&T’s 4G network.
