Call me overly suspicious if you wish but I am always curious about the chain of events.

Wouldn't Frontier cooperate have been aware of the possible acquisition of Frontier prior to this article?

If so why would they announce the 5 gig cap just prior.
Is it all a ploy to make the customer feel that anything is better than Frontier.
I just do not believe Frontier cooperate could have been as clueless about how unreasonable a 5 gig cap is.
The s**t is getting deep.

Is it to make the company more profitable since I don't see how Windstream can afford to acquire a company the size of Frontier in the current market without making sure that Frontier territories return a greater profit than is common.

I may not have posed the right hypothesis but I do feel that the consumer, Frontier employees and the N.Y. regulators are all being feed a bunch of bull.
Frontier (formerly Citizens Communications, $4 bln marketcap, $12.65/share, 3.0 mln lines, 24 states) vs Windstream ($5.29 bln marketcap, $12.03/share, 3.4 mln lines, 16 states). Windstream is the larger company by marketcap, revenue, net income, and access lines. Seems like a good buy. It allows Win to expand their coverage.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20992704 Fri, 22 Aug 2008 20:05:39 EDT Re: Questions http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20990299 morbo : all the mergers and acquisitions will have to be paid for SOMEHOW. where's the savings? when one of these puppies goes bankrupt and Verizon picks it up for a song?
