Frontier plans 3 million new fiber lines - but 8M others would be
stuck on copper.
By Jon Brodkin
Frontier Communications emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Friday,
saying that it plans to double its fiber-to-the-premises footprint by
extending fiber to an additional 3 million homes and businesses.
"Frontier is deploying capital and pursuing an extensive fiber
build-out plan that will accelerate the company's transformation from
a legacy provider of copper-based services to a fiber-based
provider... Under the first phase of the plan, Frontier intends to
invest heavily and pass more than 3 million homes and business
locations, enabling a total of over 6 million homes and businesses
with Gig-plus speeds," the company said in a press release.
