Emulex acquired control of Endace, and beneficial ownership of 89 percent of the shares of Endace, on February 26, 2013. Emulex has now completed the acquisition of beneficial ownership of 99.9 percent of the shares of Endace, and the process for the compulsory acquisition of the remaining Endace shares by Emulex pursuant to the New Zealand Takeovers Code has commenced.

"I'm pleased to report progress during the last month in combining Endace into the Emulex organization, and now obtaining complete ownership," said Jim McCluney, chief executive officer (CEO) of Emulex. "The reactions we have received from customers and employees have reinforced our conclusions that Emulex and Endace make a great combination. Together, we are creating a new class of end-to-end network convergence and visibility solutions that will enable optimal delivery of applications for the enterprise, mobile applications and the Cloud."
The receiving agent has reported that 212 acceptances have been received for a total of 15,199,588 shares, which is 99.9 percent of the 15,220,068 shares of Endace outstanding. The receiving agent reported that there are 18 non-acceptors who hold a total of 20,480 shares, which is 0.1 percent of the 15,220,068 shares of Endace outstanding.
The 99.9 percent of shares received by March 28, 2013 have been purchased at the offer price of GBP 5.00 per share, for a total of GBP 75,997,940, which is equal to USD 119,783,303 at the reference exchange rate.

Emulex Safe Harbor Statement
"Safe Harbor'' Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: With the exception of historical information, the statements set forth above, contain forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties. We expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or changes to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect any future events or circumstances. We wish to caution readers that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These factors include the possibility that we may not realize the anticipated benefits from the acquisition of Endace Limited on a timely basis or at all, and may be unable to integrate the technology, operations and personnel of Endace into our existing operations in a timely and efficient manner. In addition, intellectual property claims, with or without merit, that could result in costly litigation, cause product shipment delays, require us to indemnify customers, or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements, which may or may not be available. Furthermore, we have in the past obtained, and may be required in the future to obtain, licenses of technology owned by other parties. We cannot be certain that the necessary licenses will be available or that they can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we were to fail to obtain such royalty or licensing agreements in a timely manner and on reasonable terms, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. Ongoing lawsuits, such as the action brought by Broadcom Corporation (Broadcom), present inherent risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Such potential risks include continuing expenses of litigation, risk of loss of patent rights, risk of monetary damages, risk of injunction against the sale of products incorporating the technology in question, counterclaims, attorneys' fees, incremental costs associated with product or component redesigns, and diversion of management's attention from other business matters. With respect to the continuing Broadcom litigation, such potential risks also include the adequacy of any sunset period to make design changes, the ability to implement any design changes, the availability of customer resources to complete any re-qualification or re-testing that may be needed, the ability to maintain favorable working relationships with Emulex suppliers of serializer/deserializer (SerDes) modules, and the ability to obtain a settlement which does not put us at a competitive disadvantage. In addition, the fact that the economy generally, and the technology and storage market segments specifically, have been in a state of uncertainty makes it difficult to determine if past experience is a good guide to the future and makes it impossible to determine if markets will grow or shrink in the short term. Continued weakness in domestic and worldwide macro-economic conditions, related disruptions in world credit and equity markets, and the resulting economic uncertainty for our customers, as well as the storage and converged networking market as a whole, has and could continue to adversely affect our revenues and results of operations. As a result of these uncertainties, we are unable to predict our future results with any accuracy. Other factors affecting these forward-looking statements include but are not limited to the following: faster than anticipated declines in the storage networking market, slower than expected growth of the converged networking market or the failure of our Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) customers to successfully incorporate our products into their systems; our dependence on a limited number of customers and the effects of the loss of, decrease in or delays of orders by any such customers, or the failure of such customers to make timely payments; the emergence of new or stronger competitors as a result of consolidation movements in the market; the timing and market acceptance of our products or our OEM customers' new or enhanced products; costs associated with entry into new areas of the server and storage technology markets; the variability in the level of our backlog and the variable and seasonal procurement patterns of our customers; any inadequacy of our intellectual property protection and the costs of actual or potential third-party claims of infringement and any related indemnity obligations or adverse judgments; the effect of any actual or potential unsolicited offers to acquire us; proxy contests or the activities of activist investors; impairment charges, including but not limited to goodwill and intangible assets; changes in tax rates or legislation; the effects of acquisitions; the effects of terrorist activities, natural disasters, and any resulting disruption in our supply chain or customer purchasing patterns or any other resulting economic or political instability; the highly competitive nature of the markets for our products as well as pricing pressures that may result from such competitive conditions; the effects of changes in our business model to separately charge for software; the effect of rapid migration of customers towards newer, lower cost product platforms; possible transitions from board or box level to application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) solutions for selected applications; a shift in unit product mix from higher-end to lower-end or mezzanine card products; a faster than anticipated decrease in the average unit selling prices or an increase in the manufactured cost of our products; delays in product development; our reliance on third-party suppliers and subcontractors for components and assembly; our ability to attract and retain key technical personnel; our ability to benefit from our research and development activities; our dependence on international sales and internationally produced products; changes in accounting standards; and any resulting regulatory changes on our business. These and other factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements and are discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our recent filings on Forms 10-K and 10-Q, under the caption "Risk Factors."

Ethertronics Unveils Innovative EtherDAS 1.5(TM) and EtherDAS S(TM) Distributed Antenna System (DAS) Solutions for Superior Indoor Wireless Coverage

Ethertronics Unveils Innovative EtherDAS 1.5(TM) and EtherDAS S(TM) Distributed Antenna System (DAS) Solutions for Superior Indoor Wireless Coverage
New -153dBC Low-PIM DAS Solutions Deliver Even More Precise Coverage; Expand Ethertronics' EtherDAS Indoor USA(TM) Product Portfolio
SAN DIEGO, April 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Ethertronics, a leading technology company enabling innovative antenna and RF system solutions to deliver the best connected experience, today announced that the company has expanded its EtherDAS Indoor USA(TM) line of Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) with two new products - EtherDAS 1.5(TM) and EtherDAS S(TM).
Like Ethertronics' flagship EtherDAS Indoor(TM) family of antennas, both EtherDAS 1.5 and EtherDAS S are capable of achieving industry-leading passive intermodulation (PIM) performance of -153dBc in all 2G, 3G and 4G bands - from 700MHz through 2.7GHz - delivering on mobile operators' stringent PIM requirements for DAS. A low PIM figure indicates that a DAS system can minimize interference and provide noticeably superior performance and faster throughput on both the uplink and downlink. Ethertronics' EtherDAS Indoor line of DAS products is the first to achieve this low PIM specification.
EtherDAS 1.5 provides a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) spec of <1.5:1 for an optimum impedance match, providing higher transmit power and improved performance.
EtherDAS S employs Ethertronics' innovative, proprietary technique to shape the antenna's radiation pattern. The result is optimal wireless coverage within the building, such as an office or hotel lobby. Keeping the signal strength inside a given building improves connectivity within the office space and minimizes interference with other DAS signals from surrounding buildings, solving a major pain point for wireless operators and their DAS customers.
"With mobile use at an all-time high, mobile operators are increasingly focusing on improving in-building coverage and capacity - particularly for LTE," said Olivier Robin, GM Americas & Europe for Ethertronics. "Given their low-PIM and VSWR specifications, our new EtherDAS 1.5 and EtherDAS S products are ideal solutions for mobile operators as they are a powerful tool for meeting in-building needs while reducing their macro base station CapEx and OpEx numbers and minimizing their need to purchase additional spectrum. Given their proprietary design techniques, EtherDAS 1.5 and EtherDAS S antennas also greatly benefit users by delivering high-performance uplink and downlink speeds and ubiquitous connectivity while inside buildings."
In addition to featuring a compact design and neutral color so they blend in with their surroundings, both products are available in three versions - N connector, DIN connector and 500mm pigtail with N connector, providing installation flexibility. EtherDAS 1.5 and EtherDAS S are assembled in the USA.
The EtherDAS Indoor family of products latest additions underscore Ethertronics' commitment to providing innovative solutions to the DAS market for a superior user experience. EtherDAS is the latest example of Ethertronics' leadership in developing industry-first RF solutions for cellular, Bluetooth, GPS, Wi-Fi and WiMAX. To date, Ethertronics has shipped more than 650 million passive and active RF solutions to leading OEM and ODM customers.
To request a meeting with Ethertronics at the Verizon IBTUF, DAS in Action and DAS & Small Cells Congress events, please contact DAS@ethertronics.com.

Huntkey Unleashes PBA7000 Power Bank
SHENZHEN, China, April 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Huntkey Enterprise Group, a global professional power supply provider, is expanding its line-up of power banks with a new model - PBA7000. Compared with previous models, such as PBA2000 and PBA3500, PBA7000 has a larger capacity. Therefore, it can meet users' charging needs during long journeys with more digital equipment.
(Image: http://www.huntkeydiy.com/UserFiles/uploadfiles/images/20130329143929718.JPG)
The Huntkey PBA7000, with a capacity of 7000mAh, has two 5V1A USB outputs, so it can easily charge two digital products at the same time. Loaded with two polymer lithium ion batteries, the PBA7000 is environmentally friendly and extremely durable. The charging and discharging time can reach up to 1,000 times or more. Four built-in protections (OVP, OCP, OTP & SCP) guarantee maximum safety of the product. There are four LED lights on the power bank, which are monitored by a mini-PC and can intelligently display how much power is left in the power bank. The undersurface is made of aluminum, which gives it a smooth texture and superb heat dissipation. The PBA7000 is equipped with a 1-to-3 charging cable, and is therefore compatible with most mobile phones and digital products.

MilitaryDisabilityMadeEasy.com Makes the Military Disability System More Accessible to Assist Disabled Veterans
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., April 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- A new website has been developed to help disabled veterans understand the disability systems used by the US Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs. http://www.MilitaryDisabilityMadeEasy.com launched in March, 2013.
The website provides simple descriptions of the entire disability process, including definitions of key terms and hints on how to maximize disability ratings.
With over 50 pages and 215 illustrations, this website gives layman descriptions of the laws that rating authorities use to determine the amount of disability a veteran should receive. Veterans can also search for their particular conditions to find out how each is rated and determine if the ratings given for their conditions are accurate.
Recent evidence from the VA's inspector general revealed that the VA makes errors in about 23 percent of all disability cases. By empowering the veterans with the tools and information they need to take control of their disability, http://www.MilitaryDisabilityMadeEasy.com hopes to help veterans understand the disability process and how the VA and DoD are supposed to rate conditions so that they can be proactive in making sure that their cases are rated correctly.
http://www.MilitaryDisabilityMadeEasy.com is the brainchild of a retired Air Force physician, Dr. George Johnson, who served on active duty for 31 years, including tours in DESERT STORM, ENDURING FREEDOM, and IRAQI FREEDOM. In his last tour on active duty, Johnson oversaw preventive medicine in the deployed environment at the Pentagon. Recently, he worked for the Physical Disability Board of Review (PDBR)--a group set up by Congress to review and correct DoD disability cases. He currently works as a VA medical examiner, evaluating disabled veterans for VA compensation.
Johnson stated that he developed http://www.MilitaryDisabilityMadeEasy.com because "there is clearly a need for it. Too many veterans are frustrated and overwhelmed by the disability process. We need to empower these brave Americans with the knowledge they need to ensure that they receive the benefits they deserve after they have been injured defending their country."

Health Care Service Corporation And Community Partners Reach Nearly Three Million Kids Through Promising Health And Wellness Initiatives
New Digital Social Responsibility Report Brings Stories of Community Impact to Life
CHICAGO, April 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Against a backdrop of rising childhood obesity and other medical concerns, Health Care Service Corporation (HCSC) and hundreds of community partners collaborated to improve the health of nearly three million children across Illinois, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas last year.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130401/AQ85974LOGO)
According to the company's new Social Responsibility Report, which can be found online at http://www.hcsc2012srr.com, HCSC and local community partners made significant progress reaching at-risk children by focusing on physical activity, nutrition education, disease prevention and management, and safe environments. These four focus areas comprise the core strategy of the company's Healthy Kids, Healthy Families initiative, which was launched in 2011.
"The goal of the Healthy Kids, Healthy Families initiative is to find, fund and foster innovative, local ideas that can measurably improve the health of the most vulnerable children who live in the four states served by our insurance plans," said David Sandor, vice president of Health Care Service Corporation. "Thanks to the creativity and determination of our many community partners, we are making solid progress but also have much more to do."
The company's report also highlighted progress across other components of its social responsibility, including such areas as diversity and inclusion, sustainability, ethics and compliance.
The 2012 report was produced digitally, reducing environmental impact and enabling a more dynamic presentation of community partnerships through videos and social media integration. Readers can instantly share and comment on a specific page of the report through Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter or email the entire report to friends and colleagues.
Examples of HCSC's collaboration with community organizations include:
-- American Lung Association - Partnering with 6o health centers that serve
high-risk populations to improve asthma care for an estimated 480,000
children.
-- KaBOOM! - Building 11 playgrounds to help bring exercise and safe play
to more than 12,000 kids each year.
-- The CareVan Program - Bringing mobile health care to uninsured kids and
families, including 215,000 free immunizations, blood pressure screening
and other services.
-- LoveisRespect - Helping reduce the growing epidemic of teen dating
violence with local outreach and awareness programs that better equip
our schools, families and communities.
-- Additional highlights of the company's contributions outlined in the
2012 report include:
-- Volunteering more than 31,000 hours to support hundreds of local
organizations.
-- Reducing paper printing by more than 25 percent, saving an estimated 33
Olympic-size swimming pools of water and sparing 2,730 trees.
-- Increasing the diversity of our workforce to more than 35 percent.
-- Receiving our 12th straight Compliance Best Practice Award.

ThinkGeek extrudes the Play-Doh 3D Printer to the world
App and Doh integration like never before
FAIRFAX, Va., April 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- ThinkGeek (NASDAQ: GKNT) has always scoured the globe for the latest tech toys and gadgets to share with fans. Today ThinkGeek is proud to announce an innovative new toy to fulfill every wee maker's dream: the Play-Doh 3D Printer.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130401/SF85922)
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120509/SF04293LOGO)
Expensive "at-home" versions of 3D printers have been on the market for years now and for decades children have grown up with Play-Doh's extruder toys to shape colorful clay. The technology to blend those two realities has only recently become available and ThinkGeek is the exclusive retailer for this fantasy turned real.
"We've always bought and sold the coolest stuff," states Chris "Mad-Man" Mindel, the brainchild behind this partnership. "This will allow people to create whatever they can imagine in Play-Doh, which I feel is an underutilized artistic and engineering medium."
Users of the Play-Doh 3D Printer need only insert three cans of their favorite color, load up the free app on their tablet of choice, and get creative. Once a 3D model is rendered in the app, users manipulate the device's dials to create the solid piece.
While not as sturdy as plastic-based 3D printers, Play-Doh 3D Printer creations will harden over time and can be painted like the real thing. This is an excellent opportunity for fostering creativity while teaching valuable CAD skills to the engineers of tomorrow.

Priyanka Chopra is Covergirl for NOTCH

Priyanka Chopra is Covergirl for NOTCH
CHENNAI, NEW YORK and LONDON, April 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
- The Actor Opens up About Moving From Movies to Music to Fulfill her Father's Dream
in the April Edition
- NOTCH Fan Base Nears the One Million Mark
NOTCH, India's first digital lifestyle entertainer, launches its seventh edition with
leading lady Priyanka Chopra. In an open and honest interview, the star spoke about why
she hates singing live - "I like to be prepared and I don't think I am so ready right
now"; and how her father's ailing health was a huge cause for concern. "I am only back
from his bedside to honour my professional commitments. I pray he gets better. I do love
him - he is the wind beneath my wings."

Priyanka also shows her protective side with advice for li'l sis Parineeti Chopra. "I
am sure Parineeti, who is a strong-willed girl with her heart in the right place, will
chart her own path in the unforgiving world of Bollywood. My only advice for her as an
older sis would be to be herself and not get overwhelmed by the glitz and glamour - that
way you can protect yourself from getting hurt," she says.
Magazine Highlights
Anupam Kher who's had a sterling year with the Oscar-nominated Silver Linings Playbook
admits it was Robert De Niro who left him star-struck. "The first time I met Robert De
Niro in his trailer, I started to cry, which made him very uncomfortable. It's because I
come from a small town that I am not indifferent about life - that sense of wonderment is
still alive," he confesses to NOTCH.
Ashton Kutcher admits living Steve Jobs' life to get his performance pitch-perfect. "I
worked for months researching every aspect of Jobs' personality, even adopting his
'fruitarian' diet. The fruitarian diet can lead to like severe issues, and I went to the
hospital doubled over in pain. It was really terrifying," he says, talking about the
much-awaited biopic Jobs.
Kareena Kapoor has often gushed about Gstaad, and she shares details of her Alpine
getaways with NOTCH, giving readers a ringside view of the fondue-infused fun times that
she and Saif Ali Khan have. "It's the snow. It keeps my mind off everything else and
brings me a lot of peace," she explains.
NOTCH Exclusives

refined tastes of the First Lady of politics, Sonia Gandhi. Sanya Dhir of KBSH tells us
how sarees of Soniaji's choice are sourced, woven and sent in 'secret' boxes to No.10
Janpath.
- Peep into the exclusive fund-raising concert where Sting performed at the behest of
Maharaja Gaj Singh of Jodhpur. Also read the fly-on-the-wall account of Steven Spielberg's
masterclass that left many B-town directors tongue-tied.
Pradeep Dadha, Chairman & CEO of Notch Media Pvt. Ltd. said, I know I speak for the
team when I say, "we love it when a plan comes together." The hard work has paid off, both
in terms of the exponential growth of our readership community and the artistic and

Verizon Wireless Expands 4G LTE Coverage In Danville, Virginia
LAUREL, Md., March 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon Wireless has activated new fourth generation (4G) Long Term Evolution (LTE) network coverage in Danville, Virginia with the addition of a new cell site that provides service along U.S. Highway 29. Verizon Wireless customers in this area will now be able to use their 4G LTE-enabled devices to surf the Web, post status updates and photos, share music, and download files at speeds up to 10 times faster than customers on 3G networks.
"4G LTE is changing the way customers interact with the world via next generation apps, devices and solutions," said Mike Maiorana, Regional President. "By investing in mobile broadband, we're investing in local communities and economies where our customers live, work and travel."
Already the largest commercial 4G LTE network in the nation, the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network is now available in 486 markets and reaches more than 273 million people - nearly 89 percent of the U.S population. In 2013, the Verizon 4G LTE footprint will completely cover the area served today by the company's 3G network.
In addition to offering the nation's largest 4G LTE network, Verizon Wireless also ranks highest among all other national wireless providers in network quality in the Mid-Atlantic Region which includes the state of Virginia, according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2013 Wireless Network Quality Performance Study, Volume 13.
Verizon Wireless' ability to maintain this top-ranking in network quality stems from its sustained investment in its wireless network. The company has spent over $80 billion dollars since it was formed in 2000 to increase the coverage and capacity of its premier nationwide networks and to add new services. At the regional level, Verizon Wireless has invested more than $3 billion on wireless network upgrades since 2000, including the $301 million it spent in 2012 alone.

William Shatner and the Alien Gorn Settle 40-Year Feud
The Former Rivals Showdown in Promo for Upcoming Release of STAR TREK ®: THE VIDEO GAME
Rematch of legendary 1967 TV battle between Shatner's Captain Kirk and lizard-like alien puts spotlight on STAR TREK: THE VIDEO GAME set for April 23 release
HOLLYWOOD, Calif., March 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- More than four decades after they first squared off on an isolated desert planet, William Shatner comes face-to-face again with the menacing Gorn species of STAR TREK fame to settle a longstanding feud... but this time the battle begins on a comfy sofa with the two former foes seated in front of a video screen as they fight again in promotion for the April 23 release of STAR TREK: THE VIDEO GAME.

The original Kirk-Gorn duel was seen in the classic 1967 "Arena" episode of the STAR TREK series. Millions of people have viewed the original on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SK0cUNMnMM.
In the promotional video released exclusively on Yahoo! Movies (http://movies.yahoo.com), Shatner and the Gorn are seen casually playing STAR TREK: THE VIDEO GAME when an onscreen dispute leads to a friendly fight re-enacting actual choreographed punches from the classic TV brawl blow-for-blow. This time, however, couch pillows replace the space rocks that were thrown the first time around.
"What better way to spotlight the adventure and fun everyone can have actually playing as Capt. Kirk in the new game, than to team up the legendary former captain himself to play one of his old foes," commented LeeAnne Stables, President of Consumer Products at Paramount Pictures, the studio releasing the game. "Mr. Shatner is such a great sport and that Gorn had absolutely no chance of coming out on top this time."
After spending a day on the set with the Gorn to create the video, veteran actor Shatner, who originated the role of Capt. Kirk in Star Trek: The Original Series, added: "It never ceases to amaze me how many people still ask me about that scene. It's 46 years later, and he hasn't aged as well as I have."
The highly anticipated STAR TREK: THE VIDEO GAME features a vastly updated version of the Gorn as the key foe to legendary duo Kirk and Spock. Players take on the roles of Kirk and Spock, who work together to get to the heart of a mysterious attack by an enemy with unimaginable strength - a re-imagined version of the Gorn. In an entirely original story, written by BAFTA award winner Marianne Krawczyk, the Gorn is a terrifying threat, with an army that could overwhelm Kirk, Spock and the crew of the Enterprise.
The all-new video showdown between the two STAR TREK icons can also be found online at http://www.startrekgame.com starting March 29, and highlights the co-op play that is at the heart of STAR TREK: THE VIDEO GAME, which will be available for Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC. Pre-ordering is available now.
The promotional video was produced in-house at Paramount Pictures under the creative direction of Senior Vice President Brian Miller and shot on location in a ranch-style home in suburban Los Angeles. The original 1967 Kirk-Gorn fight can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SK0cUNMnMM courtesy of CBS Television.
STAR TREK: THE VIDEO GAME is under license by CBS Consumer Products and will be released April 23 in North America and April 26 worldwide by Paramount Pictures and NAMCO Bandai Games.

Verizon Wireless Expands 4G LTE Coverage In Fluvanna County, Virginia
LAUREL, Md., March 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon Wireless has activated new fourth generation (4G) Long Term Evolution (LTE) network coverage in Fluvanna County, Virginia with the addition of two new cell sites that provide service to Palmyra and along U.S. 15 between the towns of Fork Union and Bremo Bluff. Verizon Wireless customers in these communities will now be able to use their 4G LTE-enabled devices to surf the Web, post status updates and photos, share music, and download files at speeds up to 10 times faster than customers on 3G networks.
"4G LTE is changing the way customers interact with the world via next generation apps, devices and solutions," said Mike Maiorana, Regional President. "By investing in mobile broadband, we're investing in local communities and economies where our customers live, work and travel."
Already the largest commercial 4G LTE network in the nation, the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network is now available in 486 markets and reaches more than 273 million people - nearly 89 percent of the U.S. population. In 2013, the Verizon 4G LTE footprint will completely cover the area served today by the company's 3G network.
In addition to offering the nation's largest 4G LTE network, Verizon Wireless also ranks highest among all other national wireless providers in network quality in the Mid-Atlantic Region which includes the state of Virginia, according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2013 Wireless Network Quality Performance Study, Volume 13.
Verizon Wireless' ability to maintain this top-ranking in network quality stems from its sustained investment in its wireless network. The company has spent over $80 billion since it was formed in 2000 to increase the coverage and capacity of its premier nationwide networks and to add new services. At the regional level, Verizon Wireless has invested more than $3 billion on wireless network upgrades since 2000, including the $301 million it spent in 2012 alone.
