This 145-page PowerPoint style PDF report (and accompanying Excel data pack) examines the transformation efforts of Verizon Communications as it both embraces a Telco 2.0 Happy Piper philosophy and begins to explore new Telco 2.0 services more generally. Verizon’s positioning in the large US market, and how this is changing within its individual operating segments, is analysed and supplemented by a broader discussion of the US economy’s growth prospects and digital maturity.
The report also examines Verizon’s service offerings in detail by describing and evaluating both its core services and its early efforts in cloud, healthcare and M2M. Partnerships Verizon has entered with CSPs (e.g. ISIS) and those outside the industry (e.g. Redbox Instant) are covered in the Value Network section.
The report covers a general discussion of the challenges and importance of technology transformation is followed by a dive into Verizon’s financial results and revenue model, and how these will look different after the VZW deal closes.
The report highlights key strengths (e.g. differentiated network) and weaknesses (e.g. VZW debt-burden) are highlighted and strategic priorities are provided in the light in the light of these.
