On this web site we’re talking daily about Verizon and its services as well as we talk about every carrier from the United States. I suppose is good, from time to time to say a few words about Verizon’s first steps in this industry because this way people can now more things about an operator from which get services or at which might want to subscribe.
Appeared in 2000 after 65 billion dollars transaction
The original Verizon company appeared in 2000, when two other operators merged in a transaction stated at approximately 65 billion dollars. The companies involved were Bell Atlantic, originally established in 1983, and GTE, procedures which started at more than two years after initial talks which took place in July 1998. From the very beginning, Verizon became the most important cell phone operator from the United States operating with 63 lines in 40 states.
25 million subscribers first
Now, Verizon has almost 130 million subscribers, much more than they have at the beginnings, 14 years ago, but still, for that time, their customer mass was quite impressive. If we consider the total of around 25 million! One major fact about is worth talking when it comes about Verizon is the 4G LTE, a notion about few spoke back in 2010, when they launched it. Back then, this type of network was available in 38 markets and, additionally, in seven other cities’ airports. Besides the way they developed, we shall speak a bit Verizon etymology. The name comes from the merger of (the Latin ‘veritas’ which mean truth) and ‘horizon’. Based now in Manhattan, New York, it is important to add that the company was incorporated back in 2000 in the state of Delaware.
