Verizon Communications Inc. is an American multinational telecommunications conglomerate and a corporate component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The company is based at 1095 Avenue of the Americas in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, but is incorporated in Delaware. In 1984, the United States Department of Justice mandated AT&T Corporation to break up the Bell System into seven companies, each a Regional Bell Operating Company (RBOC), and commonly referred to as 'Baby Bells'. One of the Baby Bells, Bell Atlantic, came into existence in 1984. In 1997, Bell Atlantic merged with another Regional Bell Operating Company, NYNEX, based in New York City, with a footprint spanning from New York to Maine. The combined company kept the Bell Atlantic name. In 2000, Bell Atlantic acquired GTE, which operated telecommunications companies across most of the rest of the country that was not already in Bell Atlantic's footprint. Bell Atlantic, the surviving company, changed its name to 'Verizon', a portmanteau of veritas (Latin for 'truth') and horizon. In 2015, Verizon expanded into content ownership by acquiring AOL, and two years later it acquired Yahoo!. AOL and Yahoo were amalgamated into a new division named Oath Inc. (currently known as Verizon Media). As of 2021, Verizon is one of three companies that had their roots in the former Baby Bells. The other two, like Verizon, exist as a result of mergers among fellow Baby Bell members. SBC Communications, the result of a 1983 merger between AT&T Corporation and the original Southwestern Bell Corporation, acquired the former AT&T Corp. (later renamed AT&T Inc.) in 2005. CenturyLink, the result of the merger between Qwest Communications and CenturyTel, is the third company."
