(15) Segment Information:
We operate in one reportable segment, Frontier. Frontier provides both regulated and unregulated voice, data and video
services to residential, business and wholesale customers and is typically the incumbent provider in its service areas.
As permitted by U.S. GAAP, we have utilized the aggregation criteria to combine our operating segments because all
of our Frontier properties share similar economic characteristics, in that they provide the same products and services to
similar customers using comparable technologies in all of the states in which we operate. The regulatory structure is
generally similar. Differences in the regulatory regime of a particular state do not materially impact the economic
characteristics or operating results of a particular property. In conjunction with the reorganization of our operating
segments effective with the third quarter of 2011, we reassigned goodwill to our reporting units using a relative fair
value allocation approach.
