Frontier Offers Georgia Customers A Choice for Local Telephone Service

ROCHESTER, N.Y., June 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Frontier Corporation (NYSE: FRO), one of the nation's leading providers of integrated communication services, now offers integrated local telephone, long distance and data services throughout virtually the entire state of Georgia through a resale arrangement with Bell South. With Frontier, business customers can receive all of their communications services from one source, billed on one invoice, and carried on Frontier's industry-leading "optronics" network, the fastest, most reliable and technologically advanced in the nation.

Frontier is one of the largest providers of competitive local telephone services in the country. Frontier currently offers integrated communications services to nearly 70 percent of the U.S. business population.

Louis Ercolano, Frontier's president of sales for the Eastern Region, attributes the company's success to its ability to offer -- and support -- integrated voice and data applications, as well as value-added services such as Internet access and wireless services.

"In addition to choosing Frontier for both their local and long distance service, a large percentage of our business customers sign up for two or more other services," he explained. "We've found that the more services our customers buy from us, the greater their level of satisfaction. The evidence is in our customer retention rates -- customers with integrated services are far less likely to leave because, as they've stated in our focus groups, the offer and service provided by Frontier is incredibly difficult to get from any other integrated services provider."

Frontier's fully integrated communications services are available to business customers in the District of Columbia and virtually statewide in 26 of the 48 continental United States: California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin.
