Minpunten
Despite a long history of excellent performance, the recent trend for Verizon is one of desperation. Margins are shrinking more than anyone would like. Ivan Seidenberg looks to be retiring in 2 years or less. The middle executives are terrible at communicatine, believing in their people and all are in the mode of "protect your own and help this thing last a couple more years so I can retire". They haven't hired new management employees in too many years, so the workforce is too old and afraid of risk. It's a bad trend for the mid-term future.
