From the Paper:

"However, Verizon has taken several steps to place themselves in an optimal competitive position. For example, their pricing strategy has been to invest significant financial resources to advertise products, differentiate themselves from the competition, build brand image, and improve brand loyalty. Although such advertising is fairly expensive, Verizon has used this non-price competitive tool to build brand loyalty and change consumer determinants of demand. Verizon has protected their brand by actively pursuing infringers and protecting their trademarked names. Verizon also uses a pricing strategy to preserve and enhance sales. All of its' prices remain competitive with those of competitors, and from time to time the company will also implement sales or specially priced items occasionally to attract more consumers. In this way, Burger King has maintained effectively the phase of control in their management model."
