- Description: Look out, AT&T -- this Baby Bell has grown up. Formed in 2000 when Bell Atlantic bought GTE, Verizon Communications is the #1 local phone company in the US and the #2 telecom services provider, behind AT&T. Verizon has nearly 75 million access lines in service throughout the US. Verizon Wireless, the company's joint venture with Vodafone, is the #1 US wireless provider, with 31.5 million mobile phone customers nationwide. Outside the US, Verizon's affiliates serve 39 million wireless customers and operate 10 million access lines; the company also is developing a multinational data network. And, as if AT&T didn't have enough reasons to look over its shoulder, Verizon has 10 million US long-distance customers.^^VZ
