Verizon’s sources of income

Verizon Communications Inc. is one of the largest telecommunications companies in the United States. In 2018, the company operated about 118 million wireless retail connections and made just over 130 billion U.S. dollars in revenue. The bulk of this revenue is generated by the company’s wireless segment, which generates about three times what the company’s wireline segment makes. Verizon’s wireless segment, also known as Verizon Wireless, provides consumers, businesses and government customers across the United States with wireless communications equipment and services, the latter of which generates most of the segment’s revenue.
