Long-Term Incentive Plan (the Plan) permits the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance stock units and other awards. The maximum number of shares available for awards from the Plan is 119.6 million shares. Restricted Stock Units The Plan provides for grants of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) that generally vest at the end of the third year after the grant. The RSUs granted prior to January 1, 2010 were classified as liability awards because the RSUs were paid in cash upon vesting. The RSUs granted subsequent to January 1, 2010 are classified as equity awards because the RSUs will be paid in Verizon common stock upon vesting. The RSU equity awards are measured using the grant date fair value of Verizon common stock and are not remeasured at the end of each reporting period. Dividend equivalent units are also paid to participants at the time the RSU award is paid, and in the same proportion as the RSU award. Performance Stock Units The Plan also provides for grants of Performance Stock Units (PSUs) that generally vest at the end of the third year after the grant. As defined by the Plan, the Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors determines the number of PSUs a participant earns based on the extent to which the corresponding goals have been achieved over the three-year performance cycle. The PSUs are classified as liability awards because the PSU awards are paid in cash upon vesting. The PSU award liability is measured at its fair value at the end of each reporting period and, therefore, will fluctuate based on the price of Verizon common stock as well as performance relative to the targets. Dividend equivalent units are also paid to participants at the time that the PSU award is determined and paid, and in the same proportion as the PSU award.

The RSUs granted in 2012 and classified as equity awards have a weighted average grant date fair value of $38.67 per unit. Stock Options The Plan provides for grants of stock options to participants at an option price per share of no less than 100% of the fair market value of Verizon common stock on the date of grant. Each grant has a 10-year life, vesting equally over a three-year period, starting at the date of the grant. We have not granted new stock options since 2004.

(3) no observable pricing inputs in the market  </div> Equity securities consist of investments in common stock of domestic and international corporations measured using quoted prices in active markets. Fixed income securities consist primarily of investments in U.S. Treasuries and agencies, as well as municipal bonds. We use quoted prices in active markets for our U.S. Treasury securities, and therefore these securities are classified as Level 1. For all other fixed income securities that do not have quoted prices in active markets, we use alternative matrix pricing as a practical expedient resulting in these debt securities being classified as Level 2. Derivative contracts are valued using models based on readily observable market parameters for all substantial terms of our derivative contracts and thus are classified within Level 2. We use mid-market pricing for fair value measurements of our derivative instruments. We recognize transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers within the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2012. Fair Value of Short-term and Long-term Debt The fair value of our debt is determined using various methods, including quoted market prices for identical terms and maturities, which is a Level 1 measurement, as well as quoted prices for similar terms and maturities in inactive markets and future cash flows discounted at current rates, which are Level 2 measurements. The fair value of our short-term and long-term debt, excluding capital leases, was as follows:   <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" align="center"> <tr><td width="67%"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="2%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="2%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="2%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="2%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom" colspan="6" align="right">At March 31, 2012</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom" colspan="6" align="right">At December 31, 2011</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr style="font-size: 1px;"><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom" colspan="13">  </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr><td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom">(dollars in millions)</td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="right">Carrying Amount</td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="right">Fair Value</td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="right">Carrying Amount</td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="right">Fair Value</td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#e5e5e5"><td valign="top"> Short- and long-term debt, excluding capital leases</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">  51,275</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">  60,164</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">  54,800</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">    64,485</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap"> </td></tr></table> Derivative Instruments We enter into derivative transactions to manage our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, and equity and commodity prices. We employ risk management strategies, which may include the use of a variety of derivatives including cross currency swaps, foreign currency and prepaid forwards and collars, interest rate swap agreements, commodity swap and forward agreements and interest rate locks. We do not hold derivatives for trading purposes. We measure all derivatives, including derivatives embedded in other financial instruments, at fair value and recognize them as either assets or liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair values of derivative instruments not qualifying as hedges or any ineffective portion of hedges are recognized in earnings in the current period. Changes in the fair values of derivative instruments used effectively as fair value hedges are recognized in earnings, along with changes in the fair value of the hedged item. Changes in the fair value of the effective portions of cash flow hedges are reported in Other comprehensive income and recognized in earnings when the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Interest Rate Swaps We have entered into domestic interest rate swaps to achieve a targeted mix of fixed and variable rate debt. We principally receive fixed rates and pay variable rates based on the London Interbank Offered Rate, resulting in a net increase or decrease to Interest expense. These swaps are designated as fair value hedges and hedge against changes in the fair value of our debt portfolio. We record the interest rate swaps at fair value on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as assets and liabilities. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps due to changes in interest rates are recorded to Interest expense, which are offset by changes in the fair value of the debt. The fair value of these contracts, primarily included in Other assets and Long-term debt, was $0.6 billion at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. As of March 31, 2012, the total notional amount of these interest rate swaps was $7.0 billion. Cross Currency Swaps Verizon Wireless previously entered into cross currency swaps designated as cash flow hedges to exchange approximately $1.6 billion of British Pound Sterling and Euro-denominated debt into U.S. dollars and to fix our future interest and principal payments in U.S. dollars, as well as to mitigate the impact of foreign currency transaction gains or losses. A portion of the gains and losses recognized in Other comprehensive income is reclassified to Other income and (expense), net to offset the related pretax foreign currency transaction gain or loss on the underlying debt obligations. The fair value of the outstanding swaps, included in Other assets, was approximately $0.1 billion at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, a pretax gain of $0.1 billion was recognized in Other comprehensive income, respectively. </div></div> </div>

Although such transactions are excluded from the business segment results, they are included in reported consolidated earnings. Gains and losses that are not individually significant are included in all segment results as these items are included in the chief operating decision maker's assessment of segment performance. Our segments and their principal activities consist of the following:   <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr><td width="13%"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="2%"> </td> <td width="85%"> </td></tr> <tr><td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom">Segment</td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom">Description</td></tr> <tr><td valign="top">Verizon Wireless</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="top"> Verizon Wireless' communications products and services include wireless voice and data services and equipment sales, which are provided to consumer, business and government customers across the United States.</td></tr> <tr><td height="8"> </td> <td height="8" colspan="2"> </td></tr> <tr><td valign="top">Wireline</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="top"> Wireline's communications products and services include voice, Internet access, broadband video and data, Internet protocol network services, network access, long distance and other services.
