Re: Follow the money I thought VZ and Cellco were two separate companies... why is VZ pumping money into Cellco rather than invest in its own business? |

kudos:2 | Cellco Partnership (d.b.a. Verizon Wireless) is a majority owned subsidiary of VZ. As a holding company, VZ consolidates Cellco's financial accounting with its own. Money flows both ways. |

| That sure doesn't sound like two separate companies to me. Where did the baby bells, that Verizon if formed out of, get the money to purchase/expand their wireless divisions? And where did Verizon get the money to purchase the US portion of Vodaphone? |

I'm not sure what you're asking regarding the financing of the business operations. Shooting from the hip I would suggest the financing came from multiple sources, to include cash reserves and debt and equity offerings. I'm sure there's more in the mix, but that's a start. |

Just keeping in line with the thread and following the money. The simplest answer to my question is 'from the wireline divisions' which further illustrates that, even though it is a partially owned subsidiary, the US portion of VZW is not somehow separate from VZ (which it is often touted as being). |

That is a simplistic, yet not totally accurate answer. VZW is a subsidiary, primarily owned and managed by VZ. Legally, it's a separate company. Operationally, the two are intertwined to the point that there's not a whole lot of distinction between the two. Then again, I think you understand all of this. |
