Verizon just hiked its dividend again — 69 cents a share. On paper, that looks like strength. Shareholders get a little more cash, and the company gets to brag about “rewarding investors.” But let’s be real. This isn’t strength. It’s a... — read more

Sampath hit ‘like’ on this because it makes him look thoughtful. Truth is, guys like him are the pilot game. ‘Let’s do a pilot’ is never about testing — it’s corporate euthanasia. Starve the idea, bury it in decks, then brag when it fails. It’s how... — read more

Next VSP or large scale restructuring is imminent. Hearing chatter around 2Q/3Q 2026. Makes sense with Frontier acquisition closing but too close to past 2024. So may not be a VSP and just restructuring 🤔

The outage and now this… https://wccftech.com/a-verizon-authorized-reseller-employee-scams-a-customer-with-an-unauthorized-order-fueling-outrage-and-raising-questions-about-carrier-accountability/

I'll start - basking in the fact that they have no idea whatsoever (or care) what goes on in the CO's and garages. I have to laugh at the tonedeaf corporate videos. Life is good for some people, but the customer is not being served properly.
