Did Verizon CEO Not Receive Talking Points?

Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg breaks with his colleagues in the wireless industry and admits that a spectrum availability crisis is not likely to occur.  

Seidenberg points to cable companies that have bought spectrum and left it undeveloped as somewhere the FCC can turn to reclaim spectrum.

Seidenberg--and this is interesting--thinks the market will resolve any "crisis."  His observation is very much in line with news reports that Apple and AT&T engineers worked together to alter iPhone's software to make it less of a strain on AT&T's network.  

Seidenberg's subordinate, Verizon Wireless president Lowell McAdam, sits on the CTIA board of directors.  It must be kind of tough for CTIA to push an argument that the head of the largest telecommunications provider in the country doesn't agree with.
