Unfortunately, Vodafone owns 44 percent only of Verizon WIRELESS, so to get control of it they'd first have to buy 51 percent of Verizon Communications, which controls the other 56 percent. Not easy, but it seemed like the kind of blockbuster move Vodafone were capable of when Chris Gent was running them, and there was some talk of this in around 2002 (at the time, the book value of Verizon's non-mobile assets was essentially zero).
