Frontier isn’t fretting about competitors stealing its golden goose

In May 2024, Frontier posted positive quarterly revenue for the first time in nearly a decade. But maybe that’s not so surprising, given fiber has become its golden goose. Frontier Executive Chairman John Stratton recently reiterated the company’s year-end goal of building 1.3 million fiber passings. It’s also about “68-70%” complete on its multi-year target to reach 10 million locations with fiber.  Stratton said since Frontier emerged from bankruptcy in April 2021, off the bat it “communicated to the broader market” about its intent to build 10 million fiber passings. He thinks that “had a bit of a freezing effect” on fiber overbuilders on how they’ve thought about entering Frontier’s footprint. As far as "convergence", Stratton said that he doesn't see a mobile product in Frontier's future.
