Quotable

“The current value chain of the media business is not working. It’s broken. Content has a key role to play, but very different from what it used to be when we were more of a traditional [multichannel video programming distributor]… We are touching more consumers than any other brand daily. So, of course, we can partner with Disney… we can partner with Apple on exclusives on Apple Music, and still get the same sort of our offerings for customers but with a totally different model.”

– Verizon’s Frank Boulben and Hans Vestberg in conversation with CNBC
