I’d love to have all the money these companies spend doing these silly name changes.
This one probably isn’t a big expense, but when Verison took over from the previous company they had to repaint hundreds of trucks and redo signs on dozens of buildings.

Tbf that was probably cheaper than buying all new right?

Before they pulled the payphones out of the local terminal, it was like an archeological site. The phones’ coin boxes would be inscribed with the name of the company that owned them. I remember Bell Telephone, Bell Atlantic, Nynex, and Verizon phones. Tehre were probably a few iterations I’ve forgotten.
Another tale I like is that they took giant steel sign off the top of the then Pan Am building and replaced it with Met Life. That’s another change that cost someone a few bucks.
