Verizon Earns 87% of Profits from Mobility

By now it comes as no surprise that most leading U.S. telcos (but not all) earn most of their money from mobile services, not the fixed network. Verizon, for example, in 2018 earned $91.7 billion from mobile services, representing 70 percent of Verizon’s aggregate revenues.

So everything else, including fixed network operations contributed 30 percent of total revenues.

The retail services portion of the fixed network generated $29.8 billion, representing 23 percent of Verizon’s total revenues. Of that amount, consumer services were $12.6 billion , representing approximately 42 percent of fixed network revenues.

Enterprise revenues were $8.8 billion , representing approximately 30 percent of fixed network revenues.

Wholesale revenues were $4.7 billion , representing approximately 16 percent of Wireline’s aggregate revenues.

Earnings are even more weighted towards mobility. Verizon earns 87 percent of total profits from mobility services, just 13 percent from fixed network services.

Employee Engagement in Asia is Right at the Global Average

The most important drivers of employee engagement at work are whether employees understand what is expected of them, feel they are surrounded by supportive colleagues and believe they will be recognized when they perform well, according to authors Marcus Buckingham and Ashley Goodall.

Employee engagement in Asia in 2017 was right at the global average. Indonesia, India and China scored higher than the global average, according to Aon Hewitt.

Employee engagement can be defined as “the level of an employee’s psychological investment in their organization,” as measured by saying positive things about their organization, acting as advocates, intending to stay at their organization for a long time and striving to give their best efforts to help the organization succeed.
