Verizon Policy

Yesterday I spoke with Sowmyanarayan Sampath and leaders at Verizon Consumer Group's first Consumer Connection Summit. The room was full of energy, and one thing was crystal clear: this team has a winning mentality and is constantly innovating for our customers. 💪🏻 While there are so many changes and accelerations in technology, society and the economy, I see everyday how the V Team ensures that our products and services give the customers what they need. We're offering more personalization than ever before, more perks and bundles that speak to the uniqueness of each Verizon customer. I always enjoy getting together with the V Team to discuss where we're heading next. ➡️

Wonderful to see my colleague Emilio Gonzalez recognized with the 2024 Leadership Award during League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC)’s recent Presidential Dinner. Verizon has supported LULAC for over 20 years. During much of that time, we have benefited from Emilio’s outstanding leadership as he led our partnership with LULAC on numerous strategic initiatives. Thank you for your commitment to Verizon and the Latino community, Emilio. Congratulations to you and this distinguished lineup of awardees! 📷: Gina Brillon, George Lopez, Xochitl Torres Small, Alejandra Y. Castillo, Emilio, and Lupita Infante. #vteam

The Secretary General of the United Nations has given us all a big task, to create: “an inclusive, open, free and secure digital future for all." This starts by ensuring that people everywhere are able to access, afford, and properly use today's digital tools. This morning, I spoke at the OSPOs for Good conference at the United Nations about the ways connectivity and digital inclusion are essential to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. The UN is the one global platform that can bring people from around the world to work together. Cross-sector and cross border collaboration can help us overcome the obstacles of accessibility, affordability and usability that keep people from getting the most benefits from technology. We can work together through the UN to push society forward. #OSPOsForGood2024 #SustainableDevelopment

Exciting news in Massachusetts - and big congratulations to the Verizon team who helped put our bid together and who will build out our Fios networks to these communities. As I said in our statement, we applaud the Healey-Driscoll Administration for their leadership of the Broadband Infrastructure Gap Networks Program. This program will help Verizon continue to build and enhance our fast, reliable network statewide while fostering digital inclusion and equity in under-resourced communities. We know that many residents depend on reliable broadband service to work, learn, and stream from home, and we look forward to expanding our network in these areas.

I woke up this morning more ready than ever to start the day! Verizon’s next chapter is here, introducing a refreshed brand identity that meets us where we already are. It reflects the energy and innovation happening here at Verizon, where we never stop pushing the industry and ourselves to deliver more. This refresh highlights all the ways that we power and empower how people live, work and play. Along with a new look, we’re introducing new ways to continue putting all of our customers in the driver’s seat: - myHome, an extension of our myPlan offering, gives Fios and Verizon Home Internet customers more choice, control and value - Verizon Access, a platform offering premium experiences for sports and entertainment that you can’t get anywhere else - Guaranteed phone trade-in, a program where no matter the condition of your device, we have you covered - Verizon Business Complete, an industry-first smartphone management solution that gives all businesses flexibility and peace of mind Our new branding reflects our company’s history as well as its future. This could not have been done without Leslie Berland, who came to the V Team with a vision, and led our fantastic Marketing team and agency partners to refresh our look in a way that matches the vibrance Verizon brings to all aspects of people's lives. Great job, Leslie and team! Our next chapter is a continuation of our journey of service and innovation - building for our customers’ needs at every turn.

Celebrating a winning partnership. Congratulations to the Florida Panthers for skating their way to #StanleyCup glory. We were thrilled to be part of the electrifying journey this season, supercharging the fan experience at Amerant Bank Arena with our dynamic 5G-enabled solutions.

The Verizon Frontline Crisis Response Team recently deployed in support of first responders battling multiple wildfires in New Mexico to help provide first responders on the front lines of fire response and containment operations with critical voice and data service.

So proud of this new partnership with the State of Maryland to connect more than 270 Smith Island households and businesses to high-speed broadband! Verizon will be bringing 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) to the island, enabling residents to have greater access to healthcare, expanded educational opportunities, and increased economic development.   Special thanks to Chris DeBosier, Joseph L. Askew, Jr., Esq., and the Maryland team for all of their great efforts to help make this opportunity a reality! #broadbandeverywhere #IamVZ
