Frontier Communications (NASDAQ: FTR) has made enhanced broadband service available to an additional 8,800 households in Indiana, the company said.
Frontier is leveraging the FCC´s Connect America Fund (CAF) program to bring broadband to approximately 4,500 households in CAF-eligible census blocks while expanding its overall service and reach to approximately 4,300 more households throughout Indiana.
The deployments are made possible through a combination of Frontier´s capital investment and the CAF. The FCC established the CAF in 2011 to facilitate broadband deployment to thems of Americans living in rural areas without access to broadband infrastructure. As of 2016, Frontier began receiving approximately USD 22m a year from the CAF to expand and upgrade the company´s network to 59,000 locations in Indiana by the end of 2020.
The CAF program and investments by Frontier are enabling broadband access to previously unserved households, as well as improvements in speeds and services. Frontier offers simplified broadband offerings and bundled service packages that provide customers with choice and affordable options.
