The Bells Struggle to Survive a Changing Telephone Game

A keen analysis of the problems facing the Baby Bells and the evolution of the competitive telecom wars. Verizon recently lost 25% of its Vermont managers to a retirement and buyout offer with similar take rates throughout the company. This is a significant drain on resources and will require a period of readjustment to rebuild business momentum.

Expense control is the name of the game as Verizon and others lose significant landline business as reported in this article.

The 'hockey stick' growth curve for landlines is present, but the stick is upside down! (see graph in article).
