good dividend play trading at a discount. Maybe shareholders are waiting to see how the verizon acquisition plays and dilutes. high debt is a concern that has to be managed after the acquisition. I basically have this stock on watch list to see howe it performs related to the new entity assets

I doubt there's enough revenue in the boondocks to make this compny viable despite Verizon as a parent.

I really expect this to drop when the dividend is cut, but eventually will pull up a little. The dividend is going to keep me interested.

Dividend is currently more than generous and will remain so even after an inticipated cut. A 50% cut would still yield 7%. The Verizon purchase will yield benefits better than most investors believe. Once the obvious becomes obvious, a rush to buy will inflate market value.

dividend yield nearly 10% and covered by cash flow. Acquisition from VZ (stock deal) will improve cash flow

Frontier Communications Board of Directors Affirms Annual Dividend Policy
STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In response to recent developments with respect to companies reducing or suspending dividends on their common stock, Frontier Communications Corporation (NYSE: FTR) announced today that its Board of Directors has reaffirmed their current intention to maintain the annual dividend of $1.00 per share on the Company’s common stock.
Declarations and payment of future dividends will be at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors, and will depend on many factors, including the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, growth prospects, funding requirements, applicable law, restrictions in its credit facilities and other factors the Board of Directors deems relevant.
On its February 25, 2009 fourth-quarter earnings call, Frontier furnished guidance on free cash flow of $460 to $485 million for the year ending December 31, 2009 and reiterated that the Company has no material debt maturing until May 2011. In light of these facts, as well as the considerations listed above, the Frontier Board of Directors considers the targeted return of 60-70% of free cash flow to common shareholders in the form of dividends to be an appropriate strategy for the Company.

Love a good ol' country utility, and this one seems to be grinding along just fine. Like the dividend, which appears to be safe. Don't really understand why it's share price is getting so beat up just now. I'll take it, especially under $7.

Frontier communications is doing well in the area they serve. They cater to rural and residential customers who need entertainment in these tight budget times. Good price, good dividend.
