The revenue made by Verizon from its wireless services is almost twice as much from its wireline or landline services in US .The reasons why Verizon manages to get that kind of revenue mix has 2 components
a)due to the nature of the wireless Industry in US ,along with its own marketshare b) The Scarcity of Spectrum and the need to match demand with supply
The wireless market in US is intensely competitive, with the number of wireless subscriber connections (336 million) exceeding the total population (316 million) and Verizon has the largest subscriber base in the U.S with around 32% in 2014.
Along with demand and supply constraints, spectrum is scarce and the demand for high speed wireless carriers with 4 5 times faster speeds than 3 G Verizon has continued to invest and build scale as ( Verizon was the first in US to deploy LTE )
The Fixed line business consists of home /Business land lines, leased lines,DSL, FiOS revenue for which demand supply constraints are not high nor can be scaled up rapidly.
