Behind them, baristas wrestled with an espresso maker and served up free cappuccinos to guests.
The newly renovated assignment, located in SoMa, San Francisco's tech hub, is home to the Verizon Diligence Innovation Center, which opened last month. Big and small software developers are invited to line here at no charge, with unlimited access to development phones, wireless furnishings, shielded test rooms and lattes.
The modern workspace is part of Verizon's blueprint to improve its image in the technology industry and particularly with people who expose mobile phone apps, executives said in interviews. App makers often remonstrate with carriers for monthly data caps and limits on grand-bandwidth apps, which they see as stifling innovation.
Cell giants, including AT&T Mobility and Britain's Vodafone, are entrancing approaches similar to Verizon's to deflect criticism and arrangement themselves as friends, not foes, of developers. Vodafone, which partially owns Verizon Wireless, opened its own increment center in Silicon Valley this month.
