Re: Difference in confidence, taste, development, or philosophy?
That's correct-she's noted it as such. It will be interesting to see whether Verizon will keep her or not.

Re: Verizon & AT&T With NFV
@mpouraryan, exactly. And they have purchased a well established e-commerce base. Now if they can market that effectively, as Verizon can do, they can make it work. Yahoo lost that marketing engine.

This is such an interesting statement!
So true. I'm a Verizon customer and I feel like they might be scared to fall behind in the race. Right now I feel like Verizon is the front runner, even more so than AT&T. They're trying to keep their spot.

@mpouraryan you hit the nail right on the head there. I saw a report that she intends to stay on, though.

Re: Difference in confidence, taste, development, or philosophy?
The 600 Million Mobile Users and a Billion Aggregate Users is quite a base to build upon. The challenge is to monetize it--something that Yahoo under Marissa Meyer could not do. If only those of us in the startup world that we're in (including myself) only had a "tenth of it all..." But one thing tech has taught us--anything is possible!!

Re: Verizon & AT&T With NFV
The user base & the technologies is something that is key. It will be interesting to be witness to it all.

Re: Difference in confidence, taste, development, or philosophy?
As I am catching up for the night, there is one interesting comment I saw that may well epitomize what Verizon did: they bought the past so that they won't be a "has been". FastCompany also featured a story about how Yahoo's 600 Mil mobile users can be a "basis" for Verizon to build upon....time will tell...

Re: Difference in confidence, taste, development, or philosophy?
I agree.
My guess is they're purchasing yahoo for its different technologies, not the brand/name

Re: Verizon & AT&T With NFV
@Ariella, absolutely! It is either a brilliant move that will effectively position them with their new strategy, or they have just made one of the dumbest purchases ever. We won't have to guess and time will reveal.

Re: Verizon & AT&T With NFV
@Dhagar well time will tell. It quite a steep drop from the first offer and even the second.
