Verizon's Tangled Web - WSJ.com

Does anyone else find this as interesting and as confusing as I do? Admittedly it would be even more interesting if Verizon had not sold its local FIOS business to Frontier. But if this Verizon Wireless venture with Comcast proves successful, then I wonder if it is possible that Verizon Wireless in Fort Wayne will eventually begin offering its customers the Comcast bundle of internet, cable, and telephone services.
As Verizon Communications Inc. pushes for more cable-television and high-speed Internet subscribers, a new competitor is emerging: its own subsidiary, Verizon Wireless.
This month, Verizon Wireless stores in Seattle and Portland, Ore., began offering home Internet, cable and telephone service from Comcast Corp. as part of a new joint marketing deal between the cellphone provider and several cable companies.
