Risks

  • The promotion might increase Verizon’s costs without guaranteed proportional revenue growth if customer upgrades or subscriptions do not meet expectations.
  • Competition in the telecommunications sector could limit Verizon's ability to retain customers despite the offer.
  • Reliance on NFL Sunday Ticket content rights and partnership with YouTube creates exposure to contract negotiations and third-party platform risks.
