It’s no secret Verizon is the nation’s leading wireless carrier.
                                                            
                                                                    
                            							
							
							
						 
											
                            Слайд 3
The company has 108 million retail subscribers -- more than any
                                                            
                                    other U.S. carrier.

And it beats the competition in overall performance, according to RootMetrics.
                                                            
                                                                    
                            							
														
						 
											
                            Слайд 5Even at the Super Bowl, the carrier obliterated the competition in
                                                            
                                    overall data usage.
                                
                            							
														
						 
											
											
                            Слайд 7Verizon used a whopping 4.1 terabytes of data!
                                                            
                                                                    
                            							
														
						 
											
                            Слайд 8OK, so this is just the Super Bowl stats. 
                                                            
                                                                    
                            							
														
						 
											
                            Слайд 9And as FierceWireless notes, carriers can report data in different ways.
                                                            
                                                                    
                            							
														
						 
											
                            Слайд 10But it still shows how much more capable Verizon’s network is
                                                            
                                    overall. 
                                
                            							
														
						 
											
                            Слайд 11Verizon reported 1.9 TB of data used at the 2014 Super
                                                            
                                    Bowl, which still exceeds AT&T’s 2015 Super Bowl data usage.
                                
                            							
														
						 
											
                            Слайд 12And for carriers, more data usage can mean more revenue per
                                                            
                                    customer. 
                                
                            							
														
						 
											
                            Слайд 13Verizon measures this using Average Revenue Per Account (ARPA), and as
                                                            
                                    usage goes up so does ARPA.
                                
                            							
														
						 
											
                            Слайд 14"Growth in ARPA is a function of device adoption, account growth,
                                                            
                                    and increased usage.”

                            Слайд 15In Q4 2014, Verizon’s ARPA was up 3.5% year-over-year. 
                                                            
                                                                    
                            							
														
						 
											
                            Слайд 16Of course, Verizon customers’ data usage at the Super Bowl doesn’t
                                                            
                                    prove the company is the strongest carrier. 
                                
                            							
														
						 
											
                            Слайд 17But it’s a solid indicator that the carrier continues to dominate

                            Слайд 18Verizon already has the fastest overall network speeds and the best

                            Слайд 20Verizon was a major bidder in the FCC’s recent wireless spectrum
                                                            
                                    auction.
                                
                            							
														
						 
											
                            Слайд 21Which should add to the company’s network prowess, and keep it
                                                            
                                    one step ahead of the competition.
