Frontier Communications Parent, Inc. is an American telecommunications company.[6] Known as Citizens Utilities Company until 2000,[7] Citizens Communications Company until 2008,[8] and Frontier Communications Corporation until 2020,[6] as a communications provider[9] with a fiber-optic network[10] and cloud-based services,[11] Frontier offers broadband internet, digital television, and computer technical support to residential and business customers in 25 states.[12] In some areas it also offers home phone services.[13]

It was incorporated in 1935[14] and based in Dallas, Texas,[6] the company began focusing solely on telecommunications in 1999,[15] selling its natural gas assets and utility operations.[16] The company subsequently acquired companies such as Frontier Communications of Rochester[17] as well as assets from Verizon Communications[18] and AT&T.[19] After filing for bankruptcy in 2020[20] and emerging from restructuring in 2021,[10] Frontier went public again on May 4, 2021, on the NASDAQ.[6] The company had around 3 million broadband subscribers and 485,000 video subscribers in 2021[4] and currently has a fiber optic network of 5.2 million locations.[21]
