Verizon Benchmarking

The generation of talking face-to-face is slowly fading away, and the technology era is going to keep on growing. One of the most widely used technology services known today is the cellular phone industry. According to the Pew Research Center’s website, 90% of American adults own a cell phone. Of that 90%, the smartphone ownership is at 64% (2013). Verizon Wireless, along with the other major carriers, T-Mobile, Sprint, and AT&T, have taken this data and comprised a growing industry where competition arises from all angles. These companies have battled one another on pricing, plans, and customer service for many years in order to stay on top. Unfortunately, these are major factors in whether or not a customer will choose the particular company over another.

Through expansion, technological improvements and more investment leading to continuous network and product upgrade, should lead Verizon to better compete in international services. With emerging competition from countries like China, it is a matter of survival to act or not.

The New Hampshire primary and Iowa caucuses have too much influence over the other states, especially for being so rural and not very diverse. “Since 1952, the New Hampshire primary has been the first major test for presidential hopefuls… During the 1970s, the Iowa caucuses, which take place earlier, began to gain importance.” (upfront) The primary and caucuses are based on tradition, it's been kept because there hasn't really been a real need to change. This system has turned into barely more than a televised advertisement for the candidates. The real importance isn't their opinions and

Verizon Wireless is a big time cell phone company in which for years now, has been widely regarded as the top of competition. Which include companies such as at&t, sprint, and T-Mobile. While there are many other companies these are seen as the tops of competition in regards to others. Verizon in many of its commercials use a variety of rhetorical tactics to persuade you to believe they are truly the best in service. These tactics include providing coverage maps, using colorful balls in which compare between the four companies, and using written text stating facts about their coverage and overall service. While verizon may be the top in service all around I do believe some things are a little stretched.

- Processes - In many ways, Verizon is still three companies (Bell Atlantic, Nynex, and GTE). Although Verizon has consolidated and standardized some of their processes, there is still a lot of room for improvement.

Verizon is a major telecommunication provider in the United States. The company is the market leader, with $110 billion revenue and $2.4 billion in profit (MSN Moneycentral, 2012). Verizon has steady revenue streams that are largely based on a subscription model. It has several business segments, including wireless (63.3% of revenues) and wireline (36.7%) (2011 Verizon Annual Report). Most of this report will therefore focus on the wireless business, not only because this is the largest business that the company operates but because it is a rapidly growing and evolving business as well, a function of the rapid pace of smartphone adoption in America.

I recently order a service from Verizon. One of the things that is attractive to me is Verizon's service.

Due to wide coverage and most efficient customer service Verizon has become the largest Wireless communication company in U.S.
