Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ) and Qwest Communications International Inc. (Q) are likely to report significant landline losses next week.
No surprises there, really, so how might the carriers be making up for those subscriber decreases? With wireless and broadband, respectively.
Verizon’s in a better position when it comes to wireless than Qwest, which leases from Verizon. And among the three RBOCs, AT&T Inc. (T), of course, is in the best position so far with its exclusive iPhone contract.
