Verizon Communications Inc. is a communications holding company founded in 2000 and headquartered in New York City. Dan Schulman is its chief executive. Through its subsidiaries, Verizon provides data, video, voice, connectivity, security and related technology services to consumers, businesses, government entities and carriers.
The company operates two segments: Verizon Consumer Group and Verizon Business Group. Consumer sells mobile service, phones and other connected devices, home internet, video and voice. Its home-connectivity products use fiber, copper and fixed wireless access, or FWA. FWA uses Verizon’s 5G or 4G LTE radio network rather than a cable running into a home or business.
