$7.8 billion

Second-quarter 2017 revenue for Verizon's wireline division, which includes its Enterprise Solutions, Partner Solutions, Business Markets segments, and its recently-acquired XO Communications operations. That was up 1.2 percent from $7.71 billion a year earlier. "This shift in the wireline revenue trend towards fiber is growing," vice president and CFO Matt Ellis said, noting that revenues for fiber-based products grew more than 3 percent during the quarter. "[This] supports our plans to further invest in fiber and our emphasis on delivering value to all business customers, from the very small to the large enterprise."
