At Verizon, we believe that government must foster this revolution by allowing competition to flourish. Delaware can lead by adopting a market-based approach to replace outmoded regulatory policy. Verizon plays a critical role in the 21st-century information industry. Our company is racing to create a local, national and global network platform that provides integrated voice, data and video services to bandwidth-hungry customers. Everyone has seen the positive results of real competition in wireless and Internet markets.
Consumers benefit from lower prices and more choices.
Intense competition has given the economy a shot in the arm by creating more investment and more jobs. Wireless and Internet markets have much in common. First, they are not limited by geographic boundaries or distance. Second, they deliver a wide range of voice, data and video services. And third, market forces, not regulation, govern wireless and Internet businesses.
