Top wireless company, new deal streaming in conjunction with Redbox could be a nice new growth driver. Good positive cash flow and 5%+ dividend.

I like this partnering with Coinstar. It will give Netflix a run for it's money and with Amazon becoming a force to reckon with also, Netflix will plummet. Verizon will offer its customers the ability to add streaming onto their plan and the movies that aren't available for streaming, will be ordered online for pickup at the Redboxes. Ingenious.

I know it's romantic to say that "no one owns the Internet," but Verizon comes pretty darn close. As bandwidth use skyrockets (streaming movies, cloud services) they will have the power to charge a premium for the privilege of using their infrastructure.
