Franchisee/licensee name

It's not clear from this article whether the C&P name is still used for legal purposes. In some markets, Verizon continues (or continued until recently) to be licensed under its old BOC subsidiary names, such as New England Telephone. Was that ever the case in the four C&P jurisdictions? 121a0012 (talk) 07:26, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merger

On December 28, 2012, Verizon Maryland, Inc., headquartered at 1 East Pratt Street in Baltimore, merged into a “Verizon Maryland Merge Co.,” headquartered in Delaware. Both of these companies (to the best of my knowledge) are Verizon Communications subsidiaries. What is the significance (if any) of this merger? (In 2011, Verizon Virginia, Inc. underwent a “conversion.” Is Verizon simply merging different subsidiaries of itself together, or is there more significance to this?)

The headquarters weren't moved, but the Maryland company was reincorporated as a Delaware LLC, which, from my understanding, has certain legal advantages. Lots of companies are incorporated in Delaware because of that state's business registration laws being business friendly, but they remain headquartered elsewhere. As you note Verizon Virginia was also so converted, but it's still a separate subsidiary. oknazevad (talk) 01:47, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
