(15) Segment Information:
We operate in one reportable segment. Frontier provides both regulated and unregulated voice, data and
video services to business, residential 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.
