Verizon Flips To Frontier
It was back in May 2009 that Frontier Communications cut an $8.6 billion deal to acquire Verizon's 4.8 million residential and small-business leased landlines -- giving Frontier major Verizon wireline assets in 14 states. It wasn't until July, however, that the actual changeover between carriers took place, and the deal will continue to have plenty of ramifications. Verizon landline spin-offs haven't gone too smoothly in the past, but Frontier has a practiced partner in Adtran, which is delivering platform products and services to Frontier customers.
