Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE:VZ): With the wireless industry getting more saturated, the focus has shifted from acquiring new subscribers to converting more of their existing base to smartphones. Almost 73% of all retail postpaid phones that Verizon Communications Inc. sold last quarter were smartphones, with 40% of those upgrading or being first-time smartphone buyers. This helped to increase their smartphone penetration within the postpaid subscriber base to 50%, up from 47% at the end of the March quarter. This will leaveVerizon with enough room to increase smartphone penetration even further. Since smartphone users are usually heavy data users as well, this should continue to help increase postpaid average revenue per user further. Verizon?s data revenues last quarter soared more than 18% and postpaid ARPUs grew 3.7% over the same period last year.
