This is my presentation of VERIZON COM. INC (VZ). I also analyze AT&T (T), T-Mobile (TMUS) and Sprint (S). I predict the acquisition of T-Mobile by Sprint. In addition, I warn VZ to buy content companies like Netflix in order to fight future telecom-content players like AT&T, Google and Facebook.

TME Pricing Strategies for Mobile Broadband ServicesCapgemini
Innovative mobile broadband services pricing strategies for telcos
As portable devices and social networking services become more widespread, telcos have the opportunity to improve their customer engagement by developing end-to-end digital sales and service strategies. But that requires a full transformation of systems and business operations. Robust analysis tools will play a key role, with growing volumes of valuable data on the behavioral and demographic patterns of customers.
A successful digital transformation, including network-facing operations, will lead to better customer relationships, new revenue streams, and more streamlined processes. This whitepaper examines how operators can fully exploit digital channels and business analytics tools, outlining the benefits as well as the key challenges they face.

The task was to recommend a social media strategy to create awareness and attract soon-to-be and recent college graduates to Verizon's outstanding full-time and part-time entry-level opportunities for retail and customer service call center positions. As a team, we were given the chance to explore the possibilities of social media advertising and generate a strong marketing campaign to create awareness regarding the specified topic. We were required to choose one social media platform, create a creative campaign design, and present it to Verizon and Eller Alumni candidates.
Case Study: Verizon Wireless: Chasing the Yellow Before They Turn RedCA Technologies
In the age of the application economy, Verizon shows one way they strive to earn user loyalty. By correlating network and application metrics and gaining network and application performance insights, Verizon is able to homogenize behaviors across organizations and focus on fault prevention rather than decreasing time to fix after the fault has already occurred.

Please visit http://tr.linkedin.com/in/evrimdirik to know more about me.
The telecom market has become saturated with switchers, which means poaching customers from the competition is the only way to survive as a major wireless carrier. Comlinkdata has earned credibility in the telecom market as the leading provider of real-time customer switching data. We have supplemented our core switching data set with a variation of 'sentiment' gleaned from scraping Twitter data. Comlinkdata analysts derive algorithms that extract actionable insights from unstructured Twitter data, helping our customers make critical business decisions. We will touch on an overview of GNIP and how we are constantly streaming in customer conversations on Twitter about switching carriers. We then do basic text matching to assign each tweet with a 'bucket', which provides additional context such as 'data plan', 'phone availability', 'coverage', etc. This data serves as the foundation for our 'Voice of Customer' product, which aims to answer the 'why' behind switching behaviors in the market.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

44. Recommendations for Verizon
• Buy Yahoo mail and Yahoo Finance with a discount of 1 billion dollars
due to the breach.
• Be more aggressive in the purchase of content companies. AT&T has
spent 130 billions in the last two years buying DirecTV and Time
Warner, Verizon has spent 4.4 billions buying AOL Time Warner and
still deciding if it will buy Yahoo.
• Continue selling not integrated landlines FiOS to operators like
Frontier but creating a company that includes all the workers to avoid
political retaliation. Discontinue operation and maintenance of ADSL
technology (copper) or replace with actual IP technologies: 4G LTE or
FiOS.
