"Frontier Communications, which plans to acquire AT&T's Connecticut wireline and U-Verse businesses later this year for $2 billion, has pledged to invest $63 million in infrastructure and freeze basic landline and broadband pricing for three years, officials announced Tuesday.
Attorney General George Jepsen and Consumer Counsel Elin Swanson Katz negotiated the agreement, which has been filed with the state regulatory body that has yet to sign off on the acquisition — the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission.
Frontier has also promised to make $500,000 per year in donations to Connecticut charities; donate $512,500 to the UConn men's and women's basketball teams; and buy a $75,000 sponsorship to the Connecticut Open tennis tournament in New Haven."
