Peggy Smedley sits down with Maurice Thompson, Director of Business Development Solutions for Verizon Wireless's Open Development program, to explore how Verizon is accelerating the machine-to-machine (M2M) and connected device marketplace. Maurice explains the Open Development initiative — how it streamlines device certification to as little as one week — and discusses Verizon's vision for a fully connected future powered by LTE and a newly announced joint venture with Qualcomm. From partner selection to customer feedback, this conversation offers an inside look at how Verizon is enabling "everything connected," no matter where you are or what you need.
