Verizon Online Boosts News Content and Updates the Look of Its Business Center Web Site

Verizon Online’s Business Center, http://business.verizon.net, the Web site designed as a key resource for Verizon’s broadband business customers, has added more news content, giving users fast and easy access to the latest news. More and more, entrepreneurs are using Internet connections for core business functions. Verizon Online’s Business Center offers small- to medium-sized businesses immediate online access to news that might affect their business and to helpful information as well. As a destination portal, the business center enables DSL and FiOS broadband customers to do much more than manage their Verizon broadband accounts.

Newly added to the site are branded content from The New York Times; streaming news video and other video programming from ABC News; and sports clips from ESPN. Verizon broadband business customers also continue to have access via their Verizon Online broadband service to select premium content from The Wall Street Journal at no additional charge. Normally, this content is available only to The Journal’s subscribers.

Additionally, the backdrop for the updated Web site has changed from black to white, giving the site a brighter, cleaner look. This is one of several design changes made to better accommodate users and to allow for easy access. “This is just the beginning of several improvements we are making to update Verizon Online’s Business Center to make it the one-stop Web portal for our small- to medium-sized business customers,” said Bill Heilig, executive director of Verizon’s portal management team. “More upgrades and additional services will be added later in the year in response to customer demand.”
