Recent news
most recent scored articles · the chip is the article’s score · click to openVerizon has raised its dividend every year for 20 straight years and currently yields nearly twice the S&P 500 average. The article notes that $172 billion in debt and a new acquisition are now testing whether the company can keep that streak going, and that adjusted earnings figures alone don't tell the full story.
Motorola's Razr Fold has been certified by the FCC in a version that supports mmWave 5G, the high-frequency 5G technology that Verizon uses most heavily.

Residents of Spring Lake, a New Jersey Shore town, held a heated public meeting to oppose a Verizon plan to place 5G antennas on boardwalk pavilions.
