1990 - 2000
Frontier Companies is the holding company under Citizens
Communications (CTTC) for 28 operating companies. All but Rochester Telephone
Corporation (RTNY) are below the revenue threshold requirement for filing ARMIS
reports. However, because Frontier Corporation is an elective price cap
company, it must file the ARMIS Service Quality (43-05) Report at the study
area level for its operating companies. On 9/28/1999, Global Crossing acquired
Frontier Corporation, which continues to operate as the holding company for its
28 operating companies.
2001
On 6/30/2001 Citizens Communications purchased Global Crossing's incumbent
local exchange companies (Frontier Companies). However, Citizens Communications
is currently keeping the Frontier Companies under separate holding companies
for reporting purposes.
2002 - 2006
