FCC CHAIRMAN GENACHOWSKI STATEMENT ON 
FRONTIER’S BROADBAND COMMITMENTS
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Yesterday, West Virginia Gov. Joe Manchin, Frontier 
Communications, and the Communications Workers of America (CWA) announced that 
Frontier, which is acquiring from Verizon almost 5 million lines in primarily rural and small-
town areas in 14 states, will guarantee a $310-million-dollar investment in West Virginia over 
the next three years for broadband deployment, service quality improvements, and other capital 
expenditures. Frontier also committed to a number of steps to create and protect jobs throughout 
its territory.
Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski issued the following 
statement:
“I am pleased that Frontier’s expansion to additional service areas, facilitated by the FCC last 
month, will result in hundreds of millions of dollars in investment, the creation of high-tech jobs 
in West Virginia and other areas around the country, and increased job security for 
communications workers.”
