Netflix faces tough competition for its cloud-based TV- and movie-content-streaming service: carriers who not only have deeper pockets to pay for content, but own the wires and customer Internet accounts, too. Can Netflix survive? Or is it this decade's Napster?

AT&T posted a fourth-quarter loss thanks to pension costs and a break-up fee for the doomed T-Mobile acquisition, but said smartphone sales hit a new record.

Verizon smartphone customers interested in speed and performance are getting some good news: The popular HTC ThunderBolt can be snapped up for free, for a few days at least.

Verizon Wireless on Thursday will add five more cities to its rapidly expanding 4G LTE network, including Brownsville and McAllen, Texas.

Less than a day after announcing plans to charge customers a $2 convenience fee for every online transaction, Verizon Wireless has announced that it will back off.

It looks as though Verizon's cable spectrum deals won't fly under the radar after all.

Buying stock based on rumors is a risky business, but that didn't stop some investors from climbing on the Netflix bandwagon on Monday.

Verizon Wireless is thwarting the use of the Google Wallet mobile payment app, at least for now, on the coming Galaxy Nexus smartphone running on Verizon's 4G LTE network.

Verizon and Google teamed up to promote net neutrality, to the point they almost wrote the FCC's regulations themselves. Then Verizon sued to nix the FCC's ability to regulate the net. Now it is blocking Google Wallet to favor its own service. What does it think Neutrality means?

The Samsung Illusion smartphone, made from recycled materials, will be offered for free by Verizon Wireless with a two-year contract from Thursday through Monday in an online promotion.
