LOL, what does a NYC scraper, built long before Verizon Wireless even
existed, have to do with anything?

"Push profits beyond reason"? I certainly hope so!
I own quite a bit of stock in the company-- both direct shares and in
several mutual funds and I'm looking for maximum long term gain.
You are either horribly naive-- or a socialist-- most likely both!
But I am curious, what kind of profits are beyond reason? Verizon--
which employs 224,000 people in mostly high paying good jobs-- earned
$2.26 per share for the most recent 12 months. Wouldn't you think that's
pretty reasonable, hmmmm?

New York Telephone was responsible for the original problem, back in
'72.
I'm not a Verizon apologist, but facts are facts, Verizon didn't even
exist back then.

Earnings are not that great a yardstick! What rate of return did they
get on total invested capital?

During my last visit to NYC I stayed down in the South Seaport area very
close to that building. I walked by it when I walked into Chinatown. I'm
surprised that it's that old, it looks newer.

What do facts have to do with anything that the original poster says?

how can verizon WIRELESS cheat, when it wasn't in existence yet?
true the landline company "verizon" existed back then, but this is the
"verizon WIRELESS" group so why rant about cell phones and verizon, and not
cell phones and verizon WIRELESS ? guess he doesn't know the diference
between a cell phone and a land line.....

actually, even worse, the company "verizon" existed back then, but it was a
LAND LINE company, not verizon WIRELESS.......

Before it was called "Verizon Wireless" it was known as "Bell Atlantic
Mobile"!

Verizon didn't exist until 2000.
This was before Verizon, before Bell Atlantic, before NYNEX even.

"verizon landline" didn't exist then either. I actually thought it might
have been NYNEX but according to Wikipedia they weren't born until 1984.
The actual entity that built the building was part of the the original
AT&T "Bell System" and was called "New York Telephone".
"New York Telephone was an AT&T subsidiary until the AT&T breakup
effective January 1, 1984. At that time, New York Telephone, along with
the New England Telephone & Telegraph Company, became part of a Regional
Bell operating company named NYNEX. The company was referred to as "New
York Telephone, a NYNEX Company"

Yes, they didn't hire Darth Vader to tell us how to pronounce the made
up name "Verizon" for their new business partnership until 2000.

nope....
Verizon Communications Inc., based in New York City and incorporated in
Delaware, was formed on June 30, 2000, with the merger of Bell Atlantic
Corp. and GTE Corp. Verizon began trading on the New York Stock Exchange
(NYSE) under the VZW symbol on Monday, July 3, 2000.
it was a merger with GTE, and a new biz started.... was never wholly owned
by bell atlantic mobile, and after the antitrust breakup of ma bell, there
was no more bell atlantic mobile
you do know there is and has been a company called verizon (stock ticker VZ)
and a consortium of wireless providers grouped together, and joined then
broke with verizon and is now a seperae group called verizon WIRELESS (stock
ticker VZW)... oh and there were no cell phones back in 72, so how could
there possibly be wireless phone providers, before the cell phone was ever
invented..

... Cooper made the first call on a portable cell phone in April 1973.....

you may want to consider this...
(from the article)
That's the amount the city claims it lost as a result of a deal with the
telecommunications giant back in 1972, when (as the New York Telephone Co.)
Verizon bought city-owned land and air rights for its 32-story switching
center.
they bought the building for it's wireless business, back in 1972 when cell
phones weren't even invented until 1973?
look at the thread originaters first post where he ranted about CELL
phones....

there were non-cellular wireless phones before then, known as mts and
imts. unlike cellular, there were a limited number of channels for an
entire area, drastically limiting the number of people who could use it
at one time.

The first car telephones were put into service in 1946, as a response
to the growing mobility of the American population in the postwar
years.�

The anti-trust breakup was in the mid-80's- Bell Atlantic was one of the
post-breakup companies, with Bell Atlantic Mobile as their wireless divison,
and they stayed BAM until the creation of Verizon. They kept the BAM name
after buying NYNEX in the mid-to-late 90's and became Verizon after the
merger with GTE. This was all post breakup.
