like the man said, "We want to be in the ranks of Microsoft and Intel in 5-10 years." The IBM prospect should serve notice that it would be a silly attempt to allocate money & resources to competing with VRSN in its space, especially when you can lock out your competitors with an exclusive agreement. An interest from IBM should also serve to illustrate the inevitable growth of Verisign's PKI & Payment Services. infoworld.com Phoenix Technologies and VeriSign Join Forces to Offer Next Generation Device Authority Services Summary: SAN JOSE, Calif., January 17, 2002-- Phoenix Technologies Ltd.
