Verizon Communications Inc. (Nyse - VZ, NASDAQ - VZ) is a global broadband and telecommunications company and a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. It started in 1983 as Bell Atlantic (based in Philadelphia) with a footprint covering New Jersey to Virginia and emerged as part of the 1984 AT&T breakup into seven "Baby Bells." In 1997, Bell Atlantic merged with another Regional Bell Operating Company, NYNEX, based in New York City with a footprint spanning from New York to Maine. The combined company kept the Bell Atlantic name. In 2000, Bell Atlantic acquired former independent phone company GTE, and adopted the name "Verizon", a portmanteau of veritas and horizon, which rhymes with horizon. The company's headquarters are located in the Verizon Building at 140 West Street in Lower Manhattan, New York City.

1.27 min. | 0 user rating		 The Federal Communications Commission approved a Notice of Inquiry by a 3-2 vote to begin public consideration of possible legal frameworks for commission action on broadband Internet services. The following is a statement by Tom Tauke, Verizon executive vice president for public affairs, policy and communications: "Reclassifying high-speed broadband Internet service as a telecom service is a terrible idea. The negative consequences for online users and the Internet ecosystem would be severe and have ramifications for decades. It is difficult to understand why the FCC continues to consider this option. Rather than attempting to make the new world of broadband fit into the regulatory scheme of the old telephone world, the FCC should acknowledge that this is an issue Congress should address. Nearly 300 members of Congress have signed letters to the FCC, warning against reclassification and expressing support for congressional action. We will continue to work with the Congress, the FCC and other interested parties to resolve these issues in a manner that encourages investment, innovation, jobs and the best possible online experience for users."

(T) will begin selling HTC smartphones for $99.99, the first mobile device its offered since Verizon Communications (VZ) garnered the rights to sell Apple Inc.'s (AAPL) iPhone. AT&T had been the sole provider of service for iPhone since 2007. The second largest wireless provider in the US is up 0.55% to $27.67 in mid-day trade. The HTC Corp. Inspire smartphone will be on sale starting Feb. 13, three days after Verizon begins selling iPhones.
0.73 min. | 0 user rating		 Net Neutrality is in Jeopardy! - The internet and telecom giants Verizon and Google have reportedly reached an agreement to impose a tiered system for accessing the internet. The deal would enable Verizon to charge for quicker access to online content over wireless devices, a violation of the concept of net neutrality that calls for equal access to all services. The deal comes amidst closed-door meetings between the Federal Communications Commission and major telecom giants on crafting new regulations. The reason net neutrality matters—it's been the law of the land for the internet since it was created about forty years ago—this is the principle that says all content on the web travels at the same speed, whether it's ABC News sending it or it's Democracy Now! or it's your cousin's wedding video. And the key there is understanding that as internet speed increases, then we're going to see all media—television, radio, phone service, emerging technologies—all delivered through an internet connection. Any website could become a television network or a radio network. It's a complete game changer that breaks open access and distribution of media content. So, when we have the changes in policy deals like the Google-Verizon deal that we're going to talk about today, this is going to have a profound effect over whether that revolutionary sort of opportunity is realized or whether it's going to be squandered.
