Verizon leads the U.S. market

Verizon is one of the largest U.S. telecom companies, alongside Verizon and T-Mobile US. AT&T leads the wireless market when measured by connections. As of the first quarter of 2024, around 37.6 percent of U.S. wireless connections were operated by Verizon, while T-Mobile US and AT&T operated around 31.4 and 29.8 percent, respectively. Unsurprisingly, Verizon generated the most revenue of the three operators in 2023, with AT&T's revenue declining sharply after having spun-off its interests in the media company WarnerMedia.
