Sebastiano Petti Okay. Hans Vestberg Thank you for having me. Sebastiano Petti So Hans, when you first started at Verizon, your top priority was to fix the network, then you moved to the next phase of making sure you have the right asset mix for the company, which included some divestitures.
Where are you spending most of your time today? And how do you plan to position Verizon for success over the next decade-plus? Hans Vestberg I spend a lot of time on the safe harbor statement. So I might say things that is forward -- predicting the future. So just be aware.
I'm okay now? Okay. Okay. So I really spend my time -- I think you're right.
I've been in a journey in Verizon. Of course, the first couple of years was a lot of focus on the network. Some of you have been following us for a long time.
We built the Verizon Intelligent Edge Network. Very simple, from the data center to the edge of the network, harmonize.
