WASHINGTON – OCTOBER 27, 2011 – The following statement should be attributed to Maggie Wilderotter, Frontier Chairman and CEO:
“Frontier’s goal all along for the joint reform of intercarrier compensation and Universal Service has been to create a stable transition while recognizing that broadband is now the essential infrastructure of our time. At Frontier, we live this every day with our focus on bringing broadband benefits to rural America. While today’s Order reflects significant changes to the ABC Plan, it appears to provide the stability necessary to chart a path forward that will deliver broadband to millions of Americans in rural, high cost areas, while ensuring a responsible transition from today’s legacy system of support.”
