		<description><![CDATA[The rural telecommunications service provider Frontier Communications (FTR) reported fourth quarter adjusted earnings of 7 cents per share. The quarter’s results were above both the Zacks Consensus Estimate and the year-ago earning by 2 cents. Adjusted earnings exclude acquisition and integration costs of $42.2 million related to the integration of the operations acquired from Verizon Communications’ (VZ) fixed-line business and $1.1 million in severance and early retirement costs (a total of $26.8 million after tax or 3 cents per share). On a GAAP basis, earnings slipped to 4 cents from 5 cents in the year-ago quarter. Fiscal 2011 earnings per share declined 35.1% year over year to 24 cents. Revenue Revenue fell 5.6% year over year to $1,283.1 million in the reported quarter but edged past the Zacks Consensus Estimate ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The telecommunications industry is growing consistently despite a volatile U.S. economy. This industry is identified as a major driver of economic recovery. Telecommunications is one of the few industries to have seen rapid technological improvement even during the last recession. Given the significance of the telecommunications industry as an infrastructure product, we expect the overall economic dynamics to shift in its favor. We also expect the telecommunications industry to grow faster in 2012 compared with 2011. Invention and Innovation The major thrust for the telecommunications sector is coming from nonstop network inventions by carriers. The introduction of super-fast networks such as HSPA+ and LTE has enabled handset developers and chipset manufacturers to develop innovative products that are compatible with the latest network technologies. Products like Apple Inc.’s (AAPL) iPhone, iPADS, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Alabama-based networking solution provider, ADTRAN Inc. (ADTN) recently announced plans to acquire Nokia Siemens Networks’ fixed-line Broadband Access business. The deal is expected to close by April next year, upon regulatory approval from concerned authorities. According to ADTRAN, the acquisition is expected to remain neutral for the first fiscal year and thereon have a positive bearing on its diluted earnings per share. The transaction would involve the acquisition of the intellectual properties, technologies and the established customer base of Nokia Siemens Networks’ Broadband Access unit. Further, it would entail the transfer of manpower to ADTRAN along with an entry into Nokia Siemens Networks’ established customer base. Finland based Nokia Siemens Networks was established in 2007 as a joint venture between two giants, Nokia Corporation  (NOK) and Siemens AG (SI). Given ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Investing in telecom stocks seems risky as the global market faces the threat of yet another recession. While we await a political resolution to the Euro-zone sovereign debt crisis, the contagion is spreading globally, weighing on economic growth. The problems in Europe are swelling and spilling over to the rest of the world and might even stall the slowly moving U.S. economy. In the ongoing turmoil, dividend-paying stocks appear safe investments. These stocks must necessarily have strong financials and the companies should have the ability to invest further for new developments. In this regard, we believe this is the right time to buy telecom stocks paying higher dividends as these companies would emerge stronger when the economy recovers. Let us move to AT&#38;T Inc.’s (T) investment consideration and dividend analysis, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The rural telecommunications service provider Frontier Communications Corp. (FTR) will now sell AT&#38;T Inc.’s (T) wireless voice and data products to its customers. The recently inked deal however does not give Frontier the right to sell Apple Inc.’s (AAPL) iPhone. Reselling AT&#38;T’s product and services reflects Frontiers efforts to expand its business following the acquisition of rural fixed-line operations from Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ) last year. Successful integration in 14 states would provide cost synergies of approximately $600 million by the end of next year. We believe the Verizon lines would lead to higher profits and improved free cash flow. The three-year deal supports Frontier’s strong portfolio of broadband, voice and satellite TV services. Along with AT&#38;T’s mobile broadband network, Frontier will offer a broad range of smartphones, tablets and ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Income-oriented investors have yet another reason to be upset with the bond markets. Junk bond yields fell to a record low a few days ago and are staying near those levels. As of Wednesday evening, the Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield index yielded a mere 6.68%, which isn&#8217;t much when you consider the risk of default. These low yields are just one sign of the bond market&#8217;s cheery mood. Corporations are finding plenty of buyers for their debt, and many offerings have been completed this week. Among the investment-grade companies selling bonds are Google (GOOG), Norfolk Southern (NSC) and Walt Disney (DIS). Included in this week&#8217;s near-record level of junk bond offerings is beleaguered Chrysler, which is refinancing its loan package. Taking advantage of the low interest rates is good ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Companies such as Vodafone Group PLC (VOD) and Frontier Communications Corporation (FTR) remain well placed in the telecom industry with good returns even after severe recessionary times. Given the importance of telecommunication services worldwide, these companies have certainly built their positions in the long-term portfolio of investors. Going by the look of things, the recent upheaval in the economy has certainly influenced the U.S. market, due to which investors are now seeking more value for each penny invested. A high-dividend-paying stock is always preferred during turbulent times. Given the present market scenario and more cautious investors, companies with higher returns are turning out to be the centre of market attraction. Coming back to the telecom sector, Vodafone issued a dividend per share growth plan of minimum 7% per annum through ]]></description>

Adjusted earnings per share of 56 cents came in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate while net income plummeted 75% year-over-year. Profit was hit by a $962 million one-time charge associated with the recent federal health care reform, which eliminated certain tax benefits related to retired employees. On a positive note, Big Red reported a 1.2% annualized growth in revenues, driven by the contributions from Alltel Corp acquired in early 2009 and healthy gains across strategic growth areas such as wireless and FiOS footprint (Internet and video). Wireless service revenues were buoyed by strong subscriber accretion and sustained demand for data services. Verizon posted healthy growth in data ARPU (average revenue per user) and ]]></description>

Adjusted EPS excludes a $962 million one-time charge associated with the recent federal health-care overhaul which eliminated certain tax benefits related to retired employees. It also excludes merger integration and acquisition costs and expenses associated with the impending spin-off of specific wireline assets. Net income (attributable to Verizon) plunged 75% year-over-year to $409 million (or 14 cents a share), largely due to the hefty charges related to healthcare reform. The largest national wireless carrier posted revenues of $26.9 billion for the quarter, up 1.2% year-over-year, also in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate.

The carrier has not released any financial forecast for the quarter. The current Zacks Consensus Estimate for the first-quarter is 56 cents, representing an 11.41% annualized decline. In its fourth-quarter conference call, Verizon stated that it envisions pension and retiree benefit costs to affect earnings by approximately 4 cents to 6 cents in 2010. Moreover, the company has projected full-year capital expenditure in the range of $16.8 billion to $17.2 billion, which is mostly in line with $17 billion spent in 2009.

Nearly 50 members and leaders of Communications Workers of America (“CWA&#8221;) have protested the asset sale in West Virginia at the FCC headquarters in Washington D.C. The CWA fears that the transaction is detrimental to the state’s interest and may put Frontier in a severe financial crunch by elevating the carrier’s debt level. Moreover, the acquisition of Verizon’s assets should result in higher prices and degradation in service quality as Frontier lacks the requisite knowledge to operate Verizon&#8217;s coveted FiOS network. Additionally, CWA stated that Frontier’s recent commitment to offer broadband speeds of 1-3 megabits per second (Mbps) not ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Leading rural telecom carrier Frontier Communications (FTR) has applauded the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) National Broadband Plan (NBP), which the agency submitted to the Congress on March 16, 2010. In its statement, the carrier appreciated FCC’s initiatives to expand broadband accessibility for all Americans. Frontier also commended the FCC for the overhaul of the Universal Service Fund (USF), which subsidizes phone services in rural areas. The FCC has recommended a shift of funding from traditional wired phone services to broadband in high-cost areas. The regulator’s long-term plan is to shift about $16 billion over 10 years to exclusively support broadband networks. This would facilitate the rapid expansion of broadband services in rural regions. Approximately 14 million US homes currently do not have access to high-speed Internet, mostly in rural/underprivileged areas. ]]></description>

The concerned judge has proposed to the state regulator “Illinois Commerce Commission&#8221; not to approve the deal. The move puts the asset sale in Illinois under significant uncertainty. However, a final decision of the state regulator is expected in April 2010, which could amend or accept the judge’s proposal. Frontier is expected to respond to the proposal in the next couple of weeks. The deal affects roughly 600,000 customers in Illinois .

		<description><![CDATA[Frontier Communications (FTR) announced third quarter results with adjusted (excluding acquisition and integration costs) earnings per share of 18 cents, exceeding the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 16 cents. Net income increased 11% year over year to $52.2 million, primarily due to gain on debt repurchases and higher operating income that increased 5% year over year to $172.5 million. Revenues Remains under Pressure The company reported revenues of $526.8 million, reflecting a 6% decrease over the year-ago quarter. The year-over-year decline is attributable to lower local, long-distance and switched access revenues coupled with decline in basic access lines. However, this was partially offset by increases in data and Internet service revenues. Revenues for local services declined 8% year over year to $193.6 million while data and Internet services revenue increased 4% ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The economic downturn has been weighing on the fortunes of companies in almost every industry Incorporatedluding telecommunications. The industry by definition encompasses a lot of technology-related businesses. Besides the traditional local and long-distance wireline telephone services, telecommunications also include wireless communications, Internet services, fiber optics networks and satellites communications. Companies in the telecommunications industry continue to be at the forefront in terms of mergers and acquisitions. Consolidation among the largest telecommunications services-focused companies has created an environment where equipment-focused companies have contend with fewer customers and reduced selling opportunities. This has prompted consolidation among equipment companies as well to enhance marketing value by broadening product offerings for converged fixed-mobile networks.

		<description><![CDATA[Rural telecom operator Frontier Communications Corp. (FTR) reportedly submitted two applications for federal funding to expand its broadband network in West Virginia. The company has asked for a total of $55 million through Broadband Initiatives Program and Broadband Technology Opportunities Program as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The US government sanctioned ARRA as an economic stimulus package earlier this year, allocating almost $7.2 billion for broadband and related infrastructure development in rural and underprivileged markets across the country. Frontier provides telecommunication services both as an incumbent local exchange carrier (ILEC) and a competitive local exchange carrier (CLEC).
