WASHINGTON, March 3, 2026 – Verizon is using both fiber and fixed wireless connections in its pursuit of converged customers, the carrier’s CEO Dan Schulman said Monday.

“To me, one of the big growth opportunities for Verizon is in convergence,” he said. “And convergence can be either fixed wireless or fiber.”

AT&T and Verizon have bet big on convergence, the bundling of fixed and mobile broadband in an effort to reduce subscriber churn, but have emphasized fiber. Both are expanding their fiber footprints through acquisitions and their own deployments.
