Verizon did not return a request for comment. Verizon has decided to retain all of its consumer data, and has been telling its partners that they will now no longer have access to their data. Verizon bought Millennial Media the day and recently acquired Microsoft . After AOL took over management from Facebook and Google 's display advertising operations, this created a close partnership between the major internet properties. These acquisitions have given Verizon a full line up of ad tech properties, meaning it is now a potential rival to Microsoft in terms of delivering targeted ads to mobile devices, desktops and digital video.
