    We took an important step forward in our acquisition of Frontier Internet by filing an application with the Federal Communications Commission to approve the transaction. Connectivity is essential to nearly every part of our lives, and this transaction will bring better service, increased value, and more choice to Frontier customers in communities across America. Once the transaction is complete, we will deliver these benefits and more by: ➡️Leveraging our innovative tools, technologies, and expertise to strengthen and improve Frontier’s network – bringing more choices and next-generation services to Frontier customers. ➡️Making our offerings and all the benefits Verizon customers receive today, including our low-income pricing plan for eligible customers, available to Frontier customers – giving them more options to personalize plans that best suit their needs. ➡️Investing in local communities throughout Frontier’s footprint – benefiting customers, small businesses, and employees alike. We look forward to working collaboratively with the FCC and other stakeholders as the application is reviewed.

    Verizon SVP & Deputy GC -- Federal Regulatory & International Public Policy

    When it comes to telecom and spectrum policy, what happens in Vegas... needs to inspire action in DC. Thanks to CTIA x GSMA for putting on another great Mobile World Congress Las Vegas. I got to share the stage with industry and government leaders to talk about the National Spectrum Strategy. We talked about how we've progressed and where we need to go as a country to preserve U.S. leadership in 5G and beyond. Here's my quick take: Looking back, we have taken some good steps through the National Spectrum Strategy to address interagency coordination challenges and create timelines for the study of key spectrum bands at Lower 3 GHz and 7/8 GHz. But we need to make sure all of this good work actually bears fruit, and quick. We need the certainty of a pipeline of full-power, midband spectrum to power our wireless future. As an industry, we have much to be proud of. American consumers have been able to count on ever-increasing capacity, coverage, speed and reliability. But that continued progress isn’t an inevitability. Now is the time to act with urgency to maintain U.S. wireless leadership. #MWC24 #Spectrum #TelecomPolicy

    At Verizon, we run to a crisis to help people in need. This has been a core value of our company from day one, and the challenges we have faced over the last few weeks have been no exception. I was immensely proud of our team’s rapid response to rebuild and reconnect communities after Hurricane Helene. There is more work to be done for those impacted by Helene, and now Hurricane Milton is fast approaching the Florida coast. Verizon is committed to keeping communities and first responders connected. Our teams are working tirelessly on preparation measures to ensure resources are in place for rapid response. Here is what you need to know: ✅ Our networks are primed. Verizon's network is engineered with the goal of withstanding severe weather. Despite this, we have prepared for potential network recovery operations by assembling a fleet of portable network solutions nearby. ✅ Our Frontline teams are prepared to assist first responders. The Verizon Frontline Crisis Response Team is on standby, ready to provide mission-critical communications support to public safety agencies in impacted areas. ✅ Satellite communications have proven to be an effective tool when terrestrial services have been impacted, so it’s important to make sure your phone is ready. If you have an iPhone 14 or newer, update to iOS 18 to have satellite messaging capability. If you have a Pixel 9, Emergency SOS messaging is available via satellite. ✅ We are doing everything we can to support and ensure connection for businesses, customers, employees and their loved ones. Verizon has a variety of resources with updates, suggestions and tips for disaster preparedness. I’ve linked a number of them below.

    Verizon partnered with Second Harvest of South Georgia and Greater Valdosta United Way in a hands-on relief effort at Second Harvest’s Valdosta location. Together, the organizations packed and sorted donations arriving from Alabama to provide essential supplies to those in need. In addition to the event, Verizon’s $325,000 grant ($25,000 to Greater Valdosta United Way) will continue to fuel long-term recovery efforts in the region, providing essential resources and rebuilding opportunities for residents whose lives were upended by the storm. For those in the community who want to donate, they can bring donations to Second Harvest of South Georgia. 🏷️ Leigh Anne Lanier, Hans Vestberg, Verizon Business, Samantha Hammock
