Verizon Wireless invests $100 million in upstate New York network

Verizon keeps on pouring huge money into its' network operations in New York and Massachusetts. The huge expansion is part of an ongoing campaign:

This network expansion is part of the company's aggressive multi-billion dollar network investment each year (more than $1 billion every 90 days) to stay ahead of the growing demand for Verizon Wireless voice and data services. Verizon Wireless has invested more than $30 billion -- on average, $5 billion every year since the company was formed six years ago -- to increase coverage and capacity, and to offer customers the most reliable service available in the nation, including wireless data services such as picture messaging, text messaging, and wireless Internet access. NationalAccess, the company's national high-speed wireless data network, provides wireless Internet access at speeds between 60 and 80 kbps, with bursts up to 144 kbps

The upside for Verizon is how well the product has been selling. Verizon wireless added 1.7 million net customers in the first quarter of 2006 alone! Verizon Wireless has long marketed themselves as being technologically superior through their "Can you hear me now?" campaign. They're putting their money where their mouths are with these continued investments.
