The new CEO is all about 5G. It’s why he was hired after his stint at Ericcson and put into the CEO role after only a year with Verizon. Verizon is “all in” on 5G.

Yep, I agree.
Hopefully he does slightly better than he did at Erickson. Lowell obviously saw something in him. There is a lot of leadership changes at VZW however so it will be interesting to see how it all plays out. As long as they are the front runner in 5G everything will be good for them.
