STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Frontier Communications Corporation (NYSE: FTR) announced today that it
has opened an office in Washington, DC at 2400 N Street, NW, 7th
Floor, Washington, DC 20037. This new office reflects Frontier's close
working relationship with members of Congress and their staffs, the
Federal Communications Commission and other federal agencies.
Kathleen Quinn Abernathy, Frontier's Chief Legal Officer and Executive
Vice President, Regulatory and Government Affairs, who is based at
Frontier's corporate headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut, will oversee
this office.
"Opening this office is a natural step for Frontier, since we already
spend significant time in D.C.," said Maggie Wilderotter, Chairman and
CEO of Frontier. "We believe a local presence will allow us to enhance
our relationships with the FCC, members of Congress and their staffs and
the many agencies and partnerships in the area that play an important
role in developing and implementing communications policy."
