Cornered! is a blog devoted, most of the time anyway, to telecommunications: local and global issues, technology, people and trends from the perspective of someone who's been reporting, analysing and commenting on the industry since the dark ages (BC - before competition). Sometimes serious, sometimes flippant, sometimes frivolous. Controversial, analytical, informative, amusing, but never boring; a vehicle for examinations of important issues and observations on my encounters and experiences in an industry where polarised views and hyperbole are the norm.

According to Lowell McAdam, CEO of Verizon Wireless, "Increasingly, enterprise customers are competing in the global market and wireless solutions are integral to their ability to be responsive to their business." Vittorio Colao, deputy CEO of Vodafone, said: "This unique Vodafone Verizon Wireless offer delivers more predictability and consistency to the communications needs of international businesses. It provides our customers with a single point of contact that makes it easier to do business with both companies. We are confident that this cooperation will provide immediate benefits to our customers and set a new standard in enterprise account management." Vodafone has over 241 million proportionate customers and equity interests in mobile operators in 25 countries across five continents and a further 40 partner networks worldwide. However these all operate as separate entities serving their local customers. And Verizon Wireless is a purely US cellular network operator. Verizon Business, on the other hand already operates globally and is accustomed to provided global solutions to the global communications needs of multinationals: it would seem to be the best placed organisation to exploit the partnership with Vodafone to offer those customers a consistent approach to mobile services.{moscomment}
