Frontier Says Investments in Pennsylvania Bring Broadband to all Customers

Frontier Communications has invested nearly $100 million in its Pennsylvania operations since 2011, including approximately $20.5 million in 2014, bringing broadband to all its customers in the state, said a Thursday news release. In 2015, Frontier is positioned to receive funding from the FCC, the company said. The program is poised to open in the latter half of the year and will provide funds over a six-year period, Frontier said. The telco would get as much as $1.7 billion over the program under Phase II of the USF Connect America Fund (see 1504290066).
