Well, I'll be damned. We obviously need to work together.
Well I wouldn't go that far :)
I see Facebook, Verizon, World Economic Forum as Dynamic Coalition Speakers here:

and it makes me think: we can maybe share some work, but I don't exactly imagine us
working together as in with a common perspective.
I've been invited to a WEF organized event in Buenos Aires a week ago framed in the
Global Connect Initiative and the Internet For All program. I can assure you there was
almost no one there sharing perspectives with most of the people I know from our DC3. Lots
of big telecos, banks, credit card companies, etc. The words may sound similar but the
focus is very different.
I guess it will be interesting to see what this Dynamnic Coalition will actually be
working on in the future.
