The company sold its assets to Frontier Communication Corp, a regional telephone company, for $10.5 billion, and the deal leaded Verizon to exit the wireline phone service market in Texas, California and Florida. Also, in order to withdraw from the local wireline phone service market completely, Verizon left millions of FiOS customers who the company spent around $23 billion and 10 years to develop. These customers are roughly 1.6 million fewer FiOS internet subscribers who are about 24% of the company’s total, and around 1.2 million fewer FiOS video customers who are about 21% of the company’s total. Moreover, Verizon also finished a $5 billion deal with American Tower Corp, a cellular-tower company, last week. American Tower would gain exclusive right to lease and operate over more than 11,000 of Verizon’s cell towers, and Verizon would continue to have access to reserve capacity on the towers. (WSJ).

In recent year, along with the development of mobile device and the improvement of wireless network’s speed and stability, a growing number of people using mobile device to connect with internet. The stable growth of wireless market...
