Re: edit
said by wethackrey  :Well actually Verizon is neither a 'Bell" nor a "RBOC". They are the renamed GTE, which never was a Bell, baby or otherwise. GTE (nee General Telephone) was at one point the major competitor of Bell's. Mostly wrong.
"Verizon Communications is a New York City-based local exchange telephone company formed by the merger of Bell Atlantic, a former Bell Operating Company, and GTE, which was the largest independent local-exchange telephone company in the U.S., with presence in most all of the continental United States and Hawaii. Prior to its transformation into Verizon, Bell Atlantic previously merged with another Bell Operating Company, NYNEX, in 1996".
