Questions

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.

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? This is 10 years from now of course. after they are flush with cash from Fios paying off.

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.
