Actually, IIRC, Verizon comes ffrom two words, veritas, which I beleive is Latin for truth and Horizon meaning in the distance, or far away. Translation? Verizon really means, far from the truth. Which is pretty easy to beleive if you know what kind of bastardization they did to AirTouch, my former employer. Verizon might as well be Initech from Office Space. and its only a matter of time before turns the place into tinders.
