Buying in this range

If VZ can buy outright, or partner to obtain enough next gen bandwidth to run the topline 5G, then VZ sp will blast off.

VZ is basically a bond surrogate with a nice dividend and no real fears for long term capital loss potential. So you just collect the dividends and not expect much beyond the "better than money market" yield

VZ has just been a dividend play with no cap appreciation

[Seeker213]

VZ like T talk a great game but nothing ever becomes of it. You have Yahoo and AOL and basically have done absolutely nothing to grow a sector that’s going wild, think Snap, Facebook and Twitter. I don’t get the reasoning behind them doing nothing, or no plans of doing anything. Maybe, spin them off and let them sink or swim. Selling HUFF post instead of of utilizing their contributions is another blown opp. VZ management is a bunch of old good olde boys who sit back and simply collect a pay check instead of being aggressive. I’m sure most will agree.

Verizon and Corning co-innovating with 5G to create factory of the future

This is just so freaking interesting. So happy to be a VZ shareholder.

Wed October 23, 2019 6:30 AM|GlobeNewswire|About: VZ
What you need to know:

Verizon 5G Ultra Wideband is live at Corning’s Hickory, NC factory where the companies are working together to build the 5G factory of the future
5G’s high bandwidth and low latency can enable factory automation, zero-touch quality assurance and near real-time supply chain tracking
NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Verizon has installed 5G Ultra Wideband service in Corning’s fiber optic cable manufacturing facility in Hickory, NC. Corning (GLW) will use Verizon’s 5G technology to test how 5G can enhance functions such as factory automation and quality assurance in one of the largest fiber optic cable manufacturing facilities in the world.

The companies are also working together to co-innovate new 5G-enabled solutions that can potentially revolutionize the way goods and services are produced.

5G’s low latency, fast speeds and high bandwidth can improve the manufacturing process, enhancing capabilities like machine learning, augmented reality and virtual reality (AR/VR). Engineers from Verizon and Corning will explore how the factory of the future can use 5G to dramatically speed data collection, allow machines to communicate with each other in near real time, and wirelessly track and inspect inventory using 5G-connected cameras. They’ll also test how 5G can improve the function of autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs) by helping them move more efficiently around the factory floor.

“5G will usher in the Fourth Industrial Revolution enabling massive steps forward in robotics and automation that will transform supply chain management and create smarter and more efficient factories,” said Tami Erwin, executive vice president and CEO of Verizon Business Group. “We’re thrilled to collaborate with Corning to explore how 5G will ultimately reshape the way the manufacturing industry operates.”

The project advances Verizon's longstanding collaboration with Corning, recently focused on solutions that speed deployment of 5G using Corning’s industry-leading optical technologies and Verizon’s next-generation network architecture.

"Together, Verizon and Corning engineers expect to break new ground by identifying which 5G-enabled capabilities offer the most promise in a manufacturing environment," said Dr. Claudio Mazzali, senior vice president of technology for Corning’s Optical Communications business segment. "This builds on our collaboration with Verizon in a powerful way: Verizon turned to Corning for the fiber, cable, and optical connectivity innovations that are bringing their 5G network to life. Now Verizon is bringing 5G capabilities to a plant where those cable innovations are produced – completing the circle.”

An activist investor's attempt to force a strategy revamp at AT&T Inc. spotlights the diverging paths the two largest U.S. wireless carriers have taken in search of growth.

Elliott Management Corp.'s detailed criticism Monday of decisions made by AT&T's leaders effectively praises rival Verizon Communications Inc.'s focus on upgrading its wireless network over becoming a media giant. While AT&T has spent heavily on entertainment and advertising assets, Verizon has put building a faster 5G network at the center of its strategy. Investors have rewarded Verizon with a similar market valuation, even though AT&T has nearly 30% more annual revenue.

Displacing Verizon is a "potential reset of incredible importance," Elliott wrote to AT&T's board, arguing that the Dallas-based company's wireless business isn't just losing market share but is also becoming less profitable.

AT&T and Verizon have long been the two largest wireless providers in the U.S. by subscribers, but each has taken a different approach to generating new revenue in a wireless market. Technology giants and startups made billions on the back of the wireless connections that the carriers provided, leading each to seek ways to capture more of that spending.

"AT&T to a certain extent diversified away from the wireless business, despite the fact that the wireless business has been very good over the last few years, whereas the pay-TV and the traditional media business has been under more pressure than expected," said John Hodulik, an analyst at UBS Group AG.

Many of the suggestions Elliott made are already being implemented or are under discussion at AT&T, he said. Entering this week, AT&T has posted a total shareholder return -- or stock-price changes plus dividends -- of roughly 20% over the past year, compared with 14% for Verizon.

AT&T spent $49 billion to buy satellite-TV provider DirecTV and another $81 billion on Time Warner Inc., aiming to control content as well as connectivity. But cord-cutting has sapped customers from the pay-TV industry, prompting AT&T and others to launch streaming services.

On Monday, AT&T defended its current strategy and "the unique portfolio of valuable assets" it has assembled. "We look forward to engaging with Elliott," AT&T said. "Indeed, many of the actions outlined are ones we are already executing today."

Verizon spent $130 billion in 2014 to take full control of its wireless business but avoided a blockbuster media deal. It paid about $9 billion to buy AOL in 2015 and Yahoo two years later, but struggled to generate revenue and took a hefty charge to write down its internet business. Now, it focuses on teaming up with content providers like YouTube TV.

Hans Vestberg, who became Verizon's chief executive last year, restructured the company's business lines and has made wireless connectivity and finding new applications for 5G technology top priorities.

Verizon is also in the process of cutting $10 billion in costs, a plan that has included a large voluntary severance program as well as outsourcing efforts. A Verizon spokesman declined to comment.

Elliott called on AT&T to follow suit and cut more costs from its operations. "While revenue per employee was nearly identical at both companies just over a decade ago ($400k), today Verizon's revenue per employee ($900k) is nearly 30% higher than AT&T's ($700k)," Elliott wrote.

Elliott told AT&T's leaders that the next generation of wireless service presented an opportunity for the carrier to reclaim wireless market leadership. AT&T should gain, Elliott said, from its spectrum holdings as well as benefits associated with being the provider of the federally backed FirstNet communications system for emergency responders.

Corrections & Amplifications An earlier version of the chart in this article incorrectly had the horizontal bar representing AT&T's wireless revenue as a percentage of total revenue longer than its label of 42%.
