Verizon assets include Wireless, Wireline, SDN, NFV, Cloud, Machine-to-Machine (M2M), Internet of things (IoT), Content Delivery Network (CDN), Go90, AOL and MapQuest. We are hosting an extra-long Hackathon event to give developers enough time to build applications that leverage Verizon’s diverse portfolio of assets. Participation is free but space is limited.
