Verizon revenue, net income up on Fios strength
Jul-29-2007

The company's focus on "organic revenue growth and improving margins" is gaining steam, Chairman and CEO Ivan Seidenberg said in a statement. Verizon is "producing accelerating and sustainable" growth, he added.
New customers for Verizon's Fios fiber-to-the-home helped spur the increased revenue. About 167,000 new customers signed up for the Fios TV service, bringing the customer base to 515,000.

Revenue at Verizon's Wireline division, however, were down 1.1 percent, to $12.6 billion. This was caused in part by declines in the number of former MCI customers, the company said. in January 2006.

Verizon FiOS Installation Cuts Off Copper Lines
Jul-28-2007
Warning if you are getting Verizon's new FiOS service: Verizon installers are removing you're homes copper connections. An :
Verizon's installer ? without warning, Powderly says ? removed the copper wires that used to carry his phone calls. For most of the world, copper still links homes and businesses, as it has for a century.
Verizon's new high-bandwidth fiber lines are fully capable of carrying not only calls but also Internet data and television with room to grow. But once the copper is pulled, it's difficult to switch back to the traditional phone system or less expensive Digital Subscriber Line service. And Verizon is not required, in most instances, to lease fiber to rival phone companies, as it is with the copper infrastructure.
Verizon is up to their old tricks again. So just beware if you are getting FiOS, you're pretty much permanently switching to Verizon.
