The latter helped start Virgin Mobile and worked at AT&T in addition to enjoying a recent stint at PayPal where he was CEO. Verizon is like the football team up by three touchdowns (that’s 21 points including the three extra-point kicks for those who aren’t sports fans) with about 10 minutes left in the final quarter. Verizon is playing not to lose while T-Mobile plays to win; see the difference?Teams in…

The newer types of QLC are more robust and should give…
