Verizon CEO: Other nations 'not even close' to U.S. in broadband
,----[ Quote ]
| Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg on Tuesday subtly
| slammed the premise of the FCC's National
| Broadband Plan, stressing the United States
| was already the envy of other countries in
| broadband adoption.
|
| Even though the FCC argues otherwise --
| chiefly presenting its broadband
| recommendations as a way to expand high-
| speed Internet services while returning the
| U.S. market to the top of the world
| rankings -- Seidenberg said it was other
| nations that lagged behind.
|
| "One. Not even close," the CEO said of the
| U.S. market's broadband standing during a
| discussion at the Council on Foreign
| Relations.
