You can.clearly see VZ is in a downward spiral. It will continue to shed it's employees resulting in continuous revenue decline. It is a matter of time VZ will become another AOL or AT&T (the old one that was extinct and taken over by SBC). Consumers and investors always look at VZ as a phone company. Assume that VZ comes up tomorrow with a world's coolest cell phone, will you buy it? Same is true about VZ's dreams of becoming another Amazon or Google.
VZ = archaic + arrogant + hallo + unfriendly + milking + conventional
RUN AWAY FROM THAT MONSTER.
