Verizon's Palmer details the company's AWS deployment strategy, VoLTE launch plans and more

A Q&A with Nicola Palmer, CTO of Verizon Wireless.

Verizon Wireless was fairly low-key at last month's Mobile World Congress conference in Barcelona, Spain. The Tier 1 U.S. operator didn't make any big announcements but instead the company's key executives were at the show, quietly working behind the scenes on some important strategic issues, such as international roaming. In a one-on-one discussion with Verizon Wireless CTO Nicola Palmer, FierceWireless Editor-in-Chief Sue Marek talked with Palmer about the company's international roaming strategy, its plans for building out its AWS spectrum and its timeframe for deploying Voice over LTE.
