Verizon is appealing a July 22 ruling in which U.S. District Judge Edward Chen of San Francisco denied the telecom’s motion to compel arbitration of customer claims that the company deceptively tacked on administrative fees to their monthly wireless bills. https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/verizon-appeal-will-be-early-test-corporate-strategy-combat-mass-arbitration-2022-11-22/

And it doesn't involve phones. Instead, the carrier is now looking at using its mmWave holdings to upgrade its fixed-wireless service in high-demand areas, two T-Mobile executives said in an interview at Qualcomm's Snapdragon Summit here last week. https://www.lightreading.com/aiautomation/t-mobile-execs-open-door-to-mmwave-fwa-/d/d-id/781921

Read This First. By Keithen Drury Verizon's dividend yield looks too good to be true. Is it? Dividends are an attractive proposition for owning a stock. After all, it's nice to get paid only for owning something. When looking at high dividend-yielding stocks, three sectors often come up: utilities, real estate investment trusts (REITs), and telecoms. These businesses usually have very consistent cash flows, allowing them to pay a higher-than-average dividend to shareholders. Among the telecoms is Verizon Communications (VZ -0.71%), the second-largest provider behind AT&T. The stock sports an attractive 6.89% dividend yield, which also places it in red-flag territory. Often, when a stock's dividend yield rises higher than 5%, it's seen as a warning sign that the company won't be able to pay its dividend obligations sustainably. https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/11/23/buying-verizon-stock-for-its-dividend-read-this-fi/
