🎤 Concertgoers agree: Connectivity is key.
The high notes: Recording or streaming your favorite song is no longer taboo. A new study reveals that concertgoers increasingly rely on mobile devices to enhance their experiences by sharing their favorite moments with friends, family and fellow fans in real time.
Sing the chorus with us: These findings go to show that the capacity and connectivity improvements we’ve made to venues and stadiums recently are just what the concertgoers ordered.

▶️ An ‘Unconventional’ YouTube series.
A new episode: If you’ve been watching the Verizon-sponsored, Newsweek YouTube series, “Unconventional,” you’ll want to see the latest episode.
Why watch? The new episode goes behind-the-scenes to show daring high-altitude mountain rescues in some of the world's harshest environments. Plus, it includes a story about a Verizon customer who got stuck at the bottom of an 80-foot crevasse. Find out the key role his Verizon service played in the rescue.
