COUER D' ALENE, Idaho - Verizon LiveSource (operator services) will open a new call center here as the business continues its success in offering operator services on a wholesale basis to the telecommunications industry. The LiveSource center will be co-located with the company's existing National Open Markets Center at 7400 Mineral Dr.

Verizon is planning to hire more than 1,000 new operators at eight locations in California, Idaho, Maine, Massachusetts, Florida, and Pennsylvania this year. The Coeur d'Alene location is expected to hire as many as 300 operators and supervisory personnel in the near future.
