Verizon adds 2.2 million subscribers, but posts loss
Verizon said it added 2.2 million wireless subscribers, showing resilience in the face of tougher consumer spending, despite posting a fourth-quarter loss due to its shrinking landline business.
Sprint Nextel, the nation's third-largest wireless carrier, said it lost 1.3 million subscribers in the fourth quarter, but the results were not as bad as some had feared.
