Ignore It and It Will Go Away?
In covering Cox Communications’ announcement of a great third quarter for commercial sales, CableFAX Daily inserted an editorial comment referencing a certain statement last week from Verizon chairman and CEO Ivan Seidenberg.
Cox Business Services announced a 28% increase in 3Q commercial subs, due largely to greater availability of telephone service to business customers (Can you hear me now Verizon?). The MSO said 55% of new data customers in its legacy voice markets also subscribe to its VoIP service.The play on Verizon’s ubiquitous tagline was in reference to a comment Seidenberg made last week downplaying the competition Verizon’s getting from Cable on the small-business front. As the results from Cox and others demonstrate, the Cable threat is real, whether Seidenberg cares to acknowledge it or not.
