Frontier will move W.Va. forward
Editor: On May 13, 2009, Frontier Communications announced an agreement to acquire Verizon’s local wireline operations in 14 states. Frontier already operates in 11 of the states, including West Virginia, and we look forward to welcoming new customers and employees. We have a lot to offer: In West Virginia, 92 percent of our current customers have broadband availability, compared to 60 percent for Verizon. We have innovative marketing programs that distribute free home PCs and netbooks and have distributed more than 12,000 computers in this state. It’s a great feeling to help a student, homebound customer or a small business connect to the Internet. That’s why this transaction makes sense for everyone: Frontier is focused on providing communications and broadband services in rural, suburban and smaller-city markets, and Verizon’s focus is on wireless, FiOS service development in urban and suburban areas and global Internet networking.
