Verizon’s sources of income

Verizon is one of the largest telecommunications companies in the United States. In 2018, the company operated over 144 million wireless retail connections and made over 133 billion U.S. dollars in revenue. The bulk of this revenue is generated by the company’s consumer segment, which generates about three times what the company’s business segment makes. Verizon 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.
