FYI: (When I was actively invest I owned both T and VZ for price appreciation and dividend yield. T is presently paying 6.51% and VZ 4.08%.)
One of Verizon Communications ’ latest commercials shows the view of an engineer climbing an icy cell tower in rural Alaska. It’s a heroic take on networks and their keepers.
Then there’s AT&T ’s marketing campaign. In the wake of its $106 billion purchase of Time Warner, the company has turned its stores into a paean to Game of Thrones, with dragons plastered on walls above smartphone displays. In some outlets, there’s an Iron Throne replica for customers to rest on while they shop.
After years spent running their businesses in virtual lockstep, America’s largest phone companies are furiously heading in opposite directions.

Ted
