Verizon Communications has sold $49 billion in bonds of its corporate debt, a new record from Apple's 17 billion. Their main tactic is a buyout of their partner Vodafone, at 45 percent stake in the company. This single move shows the power of these businesses and their ability to coordinate campaigns at will. These actions also show the American public that we are moving forward from the recession in 2008. However, one must begin to think, how will these actions affect our own lives. Now that the partnership is over, what plans does Verizon have to offer the public? And will they have a positive effect? What does this mean for those individuals who have bought out corporate stock? One can only assume that with complete ownership of their own corporation, they are surely pursuing something.
