In this time of corporate downsizing and changing economic environments, accessibility is critical to keeping a competitive advantage. The ability to interact with customers virtually anywhere through convenient and easy-to-use Web and wireless services can play a vital part in a company’s business processes. Wireless devices can have a considerable impact on today’s mobile, aggressive sales force through Sales Force Automation (SFA). Cellular Phone Usage According to the most recent version of the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association’s (CTIA) wireless industry survey, there are almost 110 there are almost 110 million wireless subscribers million wireless subscribers in the United States.1 This in the United States. this represents a represents a 27% increase 27% increase since the 1999 total of 86 million since the 1999 total of 86 million. While the economy has experienced a tremendous slowdown during this period, industry analysts predict that the wireless subscriber rate will continue to grow at a steady pace. Gartner Group has predicted that 500 million cell phones will be sold worldwide in 2001 alone.2 As the number of wireless subscribers has grown, so has the market opportunity for hardware manufacturers, applications developers, and service providers. 1“Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association,”Semiannual Wireless Industry Survey, Washington, DC, December 2000. 2“Gartner Dataquest Says Worldwide Mobile Phone Sales Exceeded 96 Million Units in First Quarter 2001,” Gartner Group, May 31, 2001, www.dataquest.com/5_about/press_room/pr20010531a.html.

These devices can connect to the Internet through corporate systems and online services using wireless modems (the Aircard) and high-speed wireless LANs, such as the popular 802.11b standard. These increasingly robust devices are capable of running native applications as well as custom programs built in numerous languages (Java,TM Windows® CE, and Palm OS). According to the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), an estimated 6.1 million PDAs were sold in 2000. This is almost a 50% increase over the previous year, and sales are expected to grow by another 57% to a total of 9.6 million units in 2001.3 Wireless Internet The mobile communications industry has developed various consumer and business data solutions, but has steadily moved its efforts towards the Internet. Cahners In-Stat Group predicts that sales of Internet-ready wireless phones will surpass one billion annually by 2004.4 Technologies, such as Wireless Application Protocol (WAP), Wireless Markup Language (WML), and Short Messaging Service (SMS), as well as broader technologies, such as Extensible Markup Language (XML) and Java, are being used to build applications geared towards these next-generation devices. Emerging communication standards, such as Bluetooth,TM provide the ability to capture data from various sources, including other wireless devices, and seamlessly transmit information between them. While these technologies are in their infant stages, the ultimate outcome will be a user 3“Digital America 2001: U.S. Consumer Electronics Industry Today,” Consumer Electronics Association, www.ce.org/digitalamerica/hnit/hnit6.asp. 4“Wireless Becoming Preferred Net Access Method,” Wireless Week, Cahners In-Stat, www.instat.com/rh/wirelessweek/md0006md_story.htm.

Wireless and the Enterprise The majority of business executives, middle management, field-workers, and outside sales personnel are using some type of mobile communication tool. Most are either using a handheld device or mobile phone. Thus, although they already have the tools, they still require integrated applications that they can use on any device. This sort of “application roaming” is essential to user acceptance of wireless technologies. Just why are companies adopting wireless for business use? There are several key reasons. For instance, laptops can be cumbersome and costly to support. They also tend to be ineffective for quick approvals, planning meetings, or executing transactions. On the the majority of business executives, middle wireless front, on the other hand, management, field-workers, and outside mobile service providers have rapidly expanded their networks, sales personnel are using some type of mobile and device manufacturers have communication tool developed a variety of products geared towards enhancing the experience in accessing data. Horizontal applications include: 1. Alerts and alarms 2. E-mail and calendaring 3. Short Messaging Service (SMS) 4.

They estimate that adopting and integrating mobile applications into an enterprise can generate a 10%–30% increase in produc- tivity. This, in turn, can yield a return-on-investment of 60%–500% per year.5 Despite the upside of the business use of wireless, there are also barriers to widespread adoption. Wireless phones and handheld devices are an inherently different medium than desktop adopting and integrating mobile or laptop computers. The vast applications into an enterprise can generate majority of wireless devices a 10%–30% increase in productivity have monochrome displays, small touch pads, and no capacity for multimedia. Applications for these devices have to be tailored to the medium to be effective.

(“T-Mobile”) and Sprint Corporation (“Sprint”).2 INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY ITIF supports this transaction with the belief that the merger advances innovative wireless broadband services, offers significant benefits that will ultimately flow to consumers, and presents few concerns in terms of competition. The merger offers significant scale and operational efficiencies that will help accelerate the transition to next generation, 5G networks, intensifying competition, and bringing numerous benefits that flow throughout the economy. An honest examination of the facts should find this merger in the public interest under sections 214(a) and 310(d) of the Communications Act.3 Petitions to deny the merger do not fully appreciate the synergies of the transaction and take too myopic a view of how competition functions in today’s media and telecommunications landscape. Some critics of the merger focus narrowly on the number of competitors, decrying this merger as a 4 to 3 reduction. This view does not appreciate companies on the cusp of wireless entry, such as cable firms, or, more importantly, the 1 The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) is a non-partisan research and educational institute – a think tank – whose mission is to formulate and promote public policies to advance technological innovation and productivity internationally, in Washington, and in the states.

Verizon Wireless Communications: A Financial Analysis A Project Presented to the Graduate Faculty of Minnesota State University Moorhead By MacKenzie Frances Barry In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Accounting and Finance December 2018 Moorhead, Minnesota EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Verizon Communications, Inc. (VZ) operates the largest wireless and second largest wireline telecom networks in the United States. These two segments focus on providing communication, information, and entertainment to consumers, businesses, and government agencies. Verizon is based out of New York, New York and was incorporated in 2000. In recent news, the company has added 603,000 postpaid wireless customers, which was well above the consensus estimate of 438,000 subscriber additions. The solid customer additions were partially due to a significant year-over-year drop in churn (percentage of consumers leaving Verizon). Verizon also announced that Marni Walden, executive vice president and president of global media, left the company in February 2018.
