Equity Investees
CANTV
CANTV is Venezuela’s largest full-service telecommunications provider. CANTV offers local services, national and international long distance, Internet access and wireless services in Venezuela as well as public telephone, private network, data transmission, directory and other value-added services. Our $230 million investment in CANTV is net of approximately $400 million of foreign currency translation adjustments that are included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss.

In the second quarter of 2006, we reached a definitive agreement to sell our indirect 28.5% interest in CANTV to an entity jointly owned by América Móvil and Telmex. That agreement was terminated on February 8, 2007. On February 12, 2007, we announced our intention to participate in the Venezuelan government’s offer to purchase our shares in CANTV through public tender offers in Venezuela and the U.S. (See Note 23).

Vodafone Omnitel
Vodafone Omnitel N.V. (Vodafone Omnitel) is an Italian digital cellular telecommunications company. It is the second largest wireless provider in Italy. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, our investment in Vodafone Omnitel included goodwill of $1,044 million and $937 million, respectively.

During 2005, we repatriated $2,202 million of Vodafone Omnitel’s earnings through the repurchase of issued and outstanding shares of its equity. Vodafone Omnitel’s owners, Verizon and Vodafone Group Plc (Vodafone), participated on a pro rata basis; consequently, Verizon’s ownership interest after the share repurchase remained at 23.1%.

Other Equity Investees
Verizon has limited partnership investments in entities that invest in affordable housing projects, for which Verizon provides funding as a limited partner and receives tax deductions and tax credits based on its partnership interests. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, Verizon had equity investments in these partnerships of $659 million and $652 million, respectively. Verizon currently adjusts the carrying value of these investments for any losses incurred by the limited partnerships through earnings.

The remaining investments include wireless partnerships in the U.S., and other smaller domestic and international investments.

Cost Investees
Some of our cost investments are carried at their current market value. Other cost investments are carried at their original cost, except in cases where we have determined that a decline in the estimated market value of an investment is other than temporary as described in Note 5. Our cost investments include a variety of domestic and international investments primarily involved in providing communication services.

Our cost investments in unconsolidated businesses included 43.4 million of shares of MCI common stock that were converted upon the closing of the MCI merger (see Note 2).
