While Verizon stock prices have been on a bit of a wild ride this year, the operator’s CFO projected confidence in a discussion at the Morgan Stanley European Technology, Media and Telecom Conference this week. CFO Tony Skiadas laid out the benefits of an executive reshuffle, move to a regional approach to business sales, and ongoing momentum for its growing fixed wireless access and private networks services.
Underlying it all is Verizon’s ongoing C-Band spectrum deployment which Skiadas characterized as about halfway done in terms of cell sites with mid-band deployed. “Just because we have all th spectrum doesn’t mean the network is completely finished…we still have a couple of years of build to go. We’re very pleased with our progress thus far…but we still have more to do.”
