Verizon in the headlines

Verizon is in all the headlines at Save The Internet, as of this writing.

Verizon, Sprint and AT&T Shareholder Pressure
Shareholders of Verizon, Sprint and AT&T are attempting to convince these carriers to support Net Neutrality. One of the main objections is to the situation where carriers block or slow down Internet access to some web sites in favor of others. For example, if Amazon were to pay AT&T for priority, would you want AT&T to present Amazon sites to you much faster than others? Or, would you want AT&T to slow down access to its competitors' sites.

Verizilla!
If Verizon has its way, competition between it and cable companies will be greatly reduced. Verizon and the cable companies are working at divvying up the wireless Internet market to reduce competition.

Verizon buys more than AT&T's proposed purchase of T-Mobile
Verizon has been buying spectrum from Cox Cable and the other cable companies such that the net increase in size of Verizon will probably be larger than AT&T's growth if the proposed T-Mobile purchase had beren approved.
