Following AT&T's recently announced price increase, Verizon is doing the same for both consumer and business accounts - the first increase the company has imposed in two years. According to Bloomberg News, consumers will pay $1.35 more per month starting in June for each voice line. However, those with "basic service" plans will only pay an additional $0.98.

Business customers will pay up to up to $2.20 more per month. https://www.consumeraffairs.com/news/verizon-follows-atts-price-increase-with-one-of-its-own-051722.html -- (Please remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly)

Last week -- as AT&T deployed communication resources to support first responders battling wildfires in New Mexico and Arizona -- the company released projections of how climate change will drive future wildfires, droughts, floods and other natural disasters across the contiguous 48 states at the Aspen Ideas: Climate conference. One in three US adults say they've been personally affected by an extreme weather event in the past two years. In 2021 alone, the US experienced more than 60 extreme weather and climate events. https://sustainablebrands.com/read/marketing-and-comms/at-t-releases-projections-on-climate-fueled-natural-disasters-to-help-us-build-resilience -- (Please remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly)
