Welcome to My Blog: Verizon Communications

I will post topics about the Telecommunications industry, particularly about Verizon Communications. Verizon Communications (NYSE: VZ) is a US broadband and telecommunications giant that is based in New York City.

Their headquarters is located in 1095 Avenue of the Americas New York City, New York, United States. The company was founded on October 7, 1983 which was named Bell Atlantic. They operated mainly in New Jersey and Virginia. Bell Atlantic branch out their services to New York and the New England states through merger with NYNEX. Bell Atlantic also transferred their headquarters from Philadelphia into the old NYNEX headquarters and rebranded the entire company as Bell Atlantic.

Then they change their name to "Verizon" from the words veritas which is Latin for TRUTH and Horizon.
