Why does Verizon have an enterprise cloud? And why is anyone using it?
Is it somehow related to their main business? Do the servers run deep within their network allowing quicker access for mobile users? What is their unique selling proposition?
They have a whole "why Verizon" section[1]. I don't feel like it answers this question.
Verizon Enterprise is the service lineup that they inherited from acquiring MCI some years ago. MCI, of course, having been kind of a Big Deal as it relates to the internet way back when.
Telcos logic lately seems to be:
Folks are using the network for something exciting. We know the network part, let's expand into the exciting thing that uses the network. So cloud services, streaming video, app stores. All failures so far.
Wouldn't be such a problem if they did a good job at their core business but as we learn more about google and Amazon's network, it seems like the telcos may fail there too.
