America's largest wireless carrier isn't impressing the Robinhood crowd. By Leo Sun Millennials, who are 25 to 40 years old this year, overtook baby boomers as the largest generation in 2019. They're a core market for most companies, and companies that keep pace with their evolving tastes and preferences often generate stronger growth than those that do not. https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/03/18/why-do-millennials-hate-verizon-stock/

It relates to some arcane tandem switching regulations for toll-free calls, such as 1-800 calls. Data crunching company Simplify Compliance calculates that large local exchange carriers (LECs) such as Verizon and AT&T will end up losing about $13.57 million per month, each. Lumen (formerly called CenturyLink) could lose as much as $6.78 million per month, and Frontier could lose $3.39 million per month. https://www.fiercetelecom.com/operators/lumen-frontier-verizon-among-telcos-to-lose-millions-due-to-fcc-reg

Brands, media companies and agencies have been reaching out to Asian, Asian American and Pacific Islander communities with statements of support and monetary donations. The largest effort so far comes from Verizon. https://adage.com/article/media/verizon-commits-10-million-donations-and-ad-inventory-aapi-community/2323046
