NORWALK, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Frontier Communications Corporation (NASDAQ:FTR) today announced that
John Maduri, a telecommunications expert with 30 years in the industry,

leadership and remarkable track record will ensure that we continue to
improve customer acquisition, care and retention. He will play an
