Frontier Communications said it promoted Kenneth Arndt to president, East region. The telco has moved New York and Pennsylvania into a separated and new East region, while Ohio and West Virginia will be in the company’s Mid-Atlantic Region, and some executives were named there. (See separate report below in this issue.) The East region will also include Connecticut, and would be based in New Haven, if Connecticut’s Public Utilities Regulatory Authority approves Frontier’s buy of AT&T’s broadband, video and wireline assets in the state, the telco said Thursday. Arndt played a “critical role” in Frontier’s 2010 buy of Verizon’s assets in 14 states, managing integration of Verizon’s operations in North Carolina, South Carolina and West Virginia, Frontier said (http://bit.ly/XNhWAX).
