President and Co-CEO Ivan Seidenberg discusses what needs to be done to
keep America's communications networks strong, safe and secure in an era
of terrorism.
In the wake of the terrorist attacks in New York City and at the Pentagon,
calls on Verizon's cellular and landline networks doubled from their peak
normal volumes. A Verizon operations center that is one of the largest
telecommunication central offices in the country was crippled and 10 Verizon
Wireless cell sites were wiped out when the World Trade Center towers
collapsed. At no time in our history has the importance of a strong communications
network been made clearer than in light of the events of Sept. 11.
