Verizon Communications (VZ)

International and Other

Our International operations serve retail and wholesale customers, including enterprise businesses, government entities and telecommunication carriers outside of the United States, primarily in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Asia Pacific region, Latin America and Canada. These operations provide telecommunications services, which include voice, data services, Internet and managed network services.

International and other revenue in 2008 increased by $160 million, or 5.0%, compared to 2007, reflecting strong growth in our Internet suite of products, specifically Private IP products, and the impact of favorable foreign currency exchange rates on services billed in local currencies. International and other revenue in 2007 increased by $113 million, or 3.6%, compared to 2006 as a result of higher revenue growth in our strategic products, specifically IP services. This increase was partially offset by competitive rate compression and lower volumes with respect to our voice products.
