Verizon-Frontier Merger Costs Customers, Workers, Taxpayers as Verizon Gets Government Dollars Under

Press Release
Verizon's plan to sell 4.8 million rural landlines in 14 states to Frontier Communications will cost taxpayers $600 million and will cost communities even more. If this proposed sale goes through, communities, especially in rural areas, won't have access to high speed broadband and other telecommunications advances, expanding the digital divide and setting back economic growth.
