Verizon is now primarily a wireless business (70% of revenue and nearly all of operating income). The firm serves about 88 million postpaid and 5 million prepaid phone customers and connects another 23 million data devices, like tablets, via its nationwide network, making it the largest U.S. wireless carrier. Fixed-line telecom operations include local networks in the northeast and mid-Atlantic that reach about 25 million homes and businesses (12% of revenue) and nationwide enterprise services (10%). Recent investments, including fiber network construction, have supported the wireless business in addition to expanding traditional fixed-line capabilities. Oath, the online media and advertising firm formed with the acquisitions of AOL and Yahoo, provides the remainder of revenue.
