I also read were a mexican billionaire bought Verizon
not true:

Verizon is a wholly owned subsidiary of Vodafone,SA.
This is the Vodafone site, click on US and Verizon page opens up:
http://www.vodafone.com/home/0,3044,LANGUAGE_ID%253D0,00.html

Verizon financials: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/mh?s=VZ

Thanks! Interesting.

I don't feel allowing foreign nationals to buy our telephone companies is a wise move. I have some Verizon stock and was concerned.
