About Company: Verizon Communications, is an American
broadband and telecommunications company, the largest U.S. wireless
communications service provider as of September 2014, and a corporate component
of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The company is based at 1095 Avenue of the
Americas in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, but is incorporated in Delaware.
What eventually became Verizon was founded as Bell Atlantic, which was one of
the seven Baby Bells that were formed after AT&T Corporation was forced to
relinquish its control of the Bell System by order of the Justice Department of
the United States. Bell Atlantic came into existence in 1984 with a footprint
from New Jersey to Virginia, with each area having a separate operating company
consisting of New Jersey Bell, Bell of Pennsylvania, Diamond State Telephone,
and C&P Telephone.
As
part of the rebranding that the Baby Bells took in the mid 1990s, all of the
operating companies assumed the Bell Atlantic name. In 1997, Bell Atlantic
expanded into New York and the New England states by merging with fellow Baby
Bell NYNEX. In addition, Bell Atlantic moved their headquarters from
Philadelphia into the old NYNEX headquarters and rebranded the entire company
as Bell Atlantic. In 2000 Bell Atlantic merged with GTE, which operated
telecommunications companies across most of the rest of the country that was
not already in Bell Atlantic's footprint. Bell Atlantic, the surviving company,
changed its name to "Verizon", a portmanteau of veritas Latin for
"truth" and horizon.
