Anybody remember how well the FrontierNet buyout of Primenet went?
I was amused to see headlines this week about the disaster that has been
unfolding over the last several weeks since Frontier bought Verizon's
DSL and FIOS business in a few states, but according to Wikipedia, the
Frontier Communications company in question is only vaguely connected to
the Frontier that bought FroGlo back in the day and then got promptly
swallowed up by GloCro.
Apparently, this company was once called Citizens Communications, and at
some point decided to buy the name Frontier from GloCro, along with the
old LEC business that came with Frontier when GloCro bought them.
Good times.
