Verizon Loses 52,000 Pay TV Subscribers

Verizon Loses 52,000 Pay TV Subscribers in Second Quarter


The telecom giant, led by CEO Hans Vestberg, reports its latest financials.

Telecom giant Verizon on Thursday reported that it lost 52,000 net pay TV subscribers for its Fios video service in the second quarter, compared with a loss of 37,000 in the year-ago period and a loss of 53,000 in the first quarter.
Fios competes with cable and satellite TV services. The subscriber losses were "reflecting the ongoing shift from traditional linear video to over-the-top offerings," Verizon said.
The company's broadband service added 28,000 subscribers in the second quarter, compared with 43,000 in the year-ago period.
After its acquisitions of AOL and Yahoo, Verizon created a new division, Oath, which was then expanded further to become Verizon Media Group and encompass all of its media and advertising businesses. For the second quarter, Verizon Media, led by Guru Gowrappan, said its revenue fell 2.9 percent from the year-ago period to $1.8 billion. "Gains in native and mobile advertising continue to be offset by declines in desktop advertising," the company said.
Verizon, led by CEO Hans Vestberg, had for some time planned to launch a live TV streaming service for young wireless users who are cord cutters or cord nevers, but it then decided to instead offer other over-the-top (OTT) services via its platform.
In that vein, the company with its first-quarter earnings announcement unveiled a partnership with Google's YouTube TV streaming service, serving as a reseller. The companies said Verizon would "also offer unique, high-value YouTube TV promotions to customers across platforms" including Fios TV and Verizon's wireless services.
Verizon management has in the past reiterated that the company wasn't eyeing any major content mergers or acquisitions to increase scale against rival phone and digital players.

Soy Sauce Noodles With Cabbage and Fried Eggs Recipe

  Soy Sauce Noodles With Cabbage and Fried Eggs Time: 30 minutes  Soy sauce noodles, a traditional Cantonese dish frequently eaten for breakfast or lunch at dim sum, are hearty enough to be served for dinner as well. Contrary to the traditional dish, which includes bean sprouts and frequently garlic chives, this recipe calls for cabbage because it has a nice textural crunch and plenty of scallions since they pack a strong flavor. Regular and dark soy sauce, or lăochu in Cantonese, are simply mixed together to make the soy sauce seasoning. It imparts the noodles' very rich color. Tamari also works nicely if black soy sauce is not an option. Although thin egg noodles are typically used in this recipe, any dry wheat noodles would work in a pinch. INGREDIENTS Yield: 4 servings FOR THE NOODLES Kosher salt 7 ounces dried (or 16 ounces fresh) thin egg noodles Neutral oil, such as vegetable or grapeseed 4 large eggs ½ small green cabbage (1½ pounds), core removed then thinly sliced 1 ...

Police now uses dead fingers to unlock phones

DEAD FINGERS UNLOCK PHONES             In November 2016, hours after a man went on a killing spree and was shot dead by police, authorities pressed the dead man’s finger to his phone, hoping to unlock it and potential leads. Their attempt didn’t work, but according to Forbes, police departments confirm using the fingers of corpses to unlock phones. Investigators working with local and Federal investigations in Ohio and New York, for example, said they had used dead fingers to unlock the phones of overdose victims to try and locate a dealer
