Verizon adds another 800,000

The number of Verizon Wireless subscribers grew by 10 percent in the second quarter, the company announced Thursday. With the addition of 807,000 new customers, the joint venture between Verizon Communications and Vodafone Group now has about 28 million subscribers in the United States, according to Verizon. Denny Strigl, Verizon chief executive, in a statement described the growth as "strong" and due in part to the company creating hundreds of "store-within-a-store" Verizon outlets situated inside RadioShack stores throughout the country.
