    The Unauthorized Bio Of The Baby Bells 88 BOOK II Bell History and Strategies: Shareholders First, Customers Last What does the Star Wars' Evil Empire and Bell Atlantic Have in Common? James Earl Jones was the Voice of Darth Vadar and is the Voice Of Bell Atlantic— Are There Other Commonalties? The Unauthorized Bio Of The Baby Bells 89 "Food For Thought" Interlude— Conspiracy or Miscalculation? Book 1 leaves us with a serious dilemma, especially about the I-Way. First, we know straightforwardly that the plans were all scrapped and the announced services were never delivered. But we are left with wondering how both the telephone companies as well as their consultants, were so wrong. Let's look at the options: There were three massive errors in judgment: • Mistakes in the costs of rolling out the network • Mistakes in overestimating demand • Mistakes by the research/consulting suppliers Let's walk through each one: • Mistakes in the Costs of Rolling Out the Network: The original cost model for the I-Way was estimated at around $1,200 per household. However, Bell Atlantic stated that the cost of their trials came to $16,000 per line. This includes the cost of the various Info Highway components in the home, described earlier, as well as the cost of the fiber- optic networks. But, that's a difference per line of 1233%. Of course there are caveats. Most importantly, that the trickle of a rollout was only a "test" of advanced services, and with larger volumes of users, the costs would decline. In fact, Bell Atlantic's original plans may have actually called for a great deal less spending than $1,200 a line.

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.
