   Verizon reported 82,000 Fios Video net losses during the first quarter   
   of 2021, dropping its total to approximately 3.77 million. (Fierce

   As Verizon's Fios Video subscribers continue to dwindle, the company   
   is gaining broader relationships with content partners that will play   
   a role in its growing fixed wireless business.   
      
   Ronan Dunne, executive vice president and CEO for Verizon's Consumer   
   Group, said his company was previously a "subscale" purchaser of   
   content when it was limited to the Fios Video footprint in the   
   Northeast. But recent content partnerships with Disney+, Discovery+   
   and other streaming services have greatly increased Verizon's scale   
   with content owners, something that will come in handy as the company   
   aspires to grow its fixed wireless business into a nationwide   
   residential broadband competitor.
