Verizon is in full control of verizon wireless thus making verizon wireless their subsidiary.

Technically they are a company inside another company, but control wise they are one as verizon controls them.

Greed pure and simple.

Greed: Greed is the inordinate desire to possess wealth, goods, or objects of abstract value with the intention to keep it for one's self

Since they are passing it on to stockholders the Greed definition doesn't apply.

Elector posted : Vodafone Group Plc is the partner in the wireless venture.

Verizon Telephone which is losing land line customers hand over fist is trying to make DSL users get landline service and for only one reason. To milk as much money out of as many people they can get their grubby hands on. Greed pure and simple.

With more folks going wireless and I believe I have read that the market for wireless is getting smaller and smaller, hence the meter billing, the high overages for GB and the throttling back for whatever reason, again the revnue sources are drying up. The phone company has to find a way to grab more money from the consumers, forcing a land line service is more than a way to double and triple the small DSL charge they are getting now.

They charge for the DSL, then it will be for the telephone you don't need, then add in taxes and surcharges and you are looking at a bill almost three times what you are paying now.

I remember years ago I had DSL and then it was the Freedom package and with TV bundled the so called $99 a month was around $150 real savings, yeah right.

Dry loop at one time cost me $30 a month that was it. Did not need long distance or telephone service since it was on my wireless plan. So again some sort of State or Federal regulators have to get involved and knock Verizon back to their place.

tkdslr posted : Verizon Communications is a 55% owner of Verizon Wireless..
Vodafone owns the other 45% of Verizon Wireless..

The partners received a $10B distribution from Verizon Wireless in 2011.

Thus for conflict of interest purposes they are the same.

anon posted : On paper they are two different companies. However, Verizon Wireless and Verizon Proper have been sharing the same "network" for years. Add to this the fact that Verizon's Current CEO is from Verizon Wireless. Two different companies yes, but highly involved in an incestuous relationship.

MovieLover76 posted : The may be different companies, but to think they are completely separate is naive, their billing systems are even linked, I pay for all 4 services FiOS, phone, TV and cell through either verizonwireless.com or verizon.com

They coordinate their actions without a doubt.

25139889 posted : You do realize that they are two separate companies right? And by law they are NOT allowed to become one. The only thing they share is a stock symbol. Other than that VZW is NOT Verizon Wireless- only a brand name. VZW is actually CellCo Partnership. Always has been. Always will be.
