Frontier Plans Big For West Virginia Broadband

WEST VIRGINIA....
About 469,500 households across West Virginia now have access to high-speed Internet, but Frontier officials say that number will grow to nearly 658,000 homes by the end of 2011. At a hearing Tuesday, Frontier executives told the state Public Service Commission that the company will spend $48 million through the end of next year as part of an "aggressive" broadband expansion aimed at making high-speed Internet available to 85 percent of its customers in West Virginia by the end of 2011, two and a half years sooner than expected. West Virginia now ranks 47th in the nation for the percentage of homes with broadband availability. Dana Waldo, senior vice president of Frontier's West Virginia operations, says by the time Frontier is done, West Virginia will be one of the top five covered states in the nation.
