Note that Verizon has a division - Product Innovation and New Business - that is run separate from the telco business that you are mentioning.
In recent years Verizon has acquired technology companies EdgeCast Networks (CDN) and upLynk (Video Streaming) which form the core of Verizon's Digital Media Services [1].
Combining these assets with AOL (AdTech) and Yahoo (if the deal happens) gives Verizon an end-to-end platform for the creation, delivery and monetization of content (with focus on video) in the Internet.
Disclosure: I work at EdgeCast and we operate as a technology company, hate bureaucracy and try very hard to innovate and stay agile.
Samsung generates a lot of sensor/IoT type of data (e.g. smart phones, smart TVs, medical, industrial). They'll need the infrastructure to process and store all these data.
Software Engineer | EdgeCast Networks (now Verizon Digital Media Services) | Playa Vista, CA (Los Angeles/Silicon Beach) | ONSITE
EdgeCast is a CDN operating a global network of SuperPoPs. We do a lot of work in media streaming to deliver videos and music for customers like Hulu and Spotify.
I'm part of the Infrastructure Engineering team and we are hiring Python and Clojure hackers to work on building and scaling out our telemetry, monitoring and automation platforms.
My grandfather, while studying law in the Philippines was drafted to fight for the United States Armed Forces of the Far East (USAFFE) during WWII.
I guess he was part of the few that got US citizenship as he was able to bring his children and consequently his grandchildren (me) to America.
I am thankful for what he has done so I can live the life I have now. In return I try to contribute to society the way I know best by writing software for startups, SpaceX, and now EdgeCast.
Note that the drone ship doubles up as a recovery vehicle to ferry back the stage to land. Also a sea launch platform will be a permanent structure while the drone ship's purpose is to be a test platform for landing on land.
