Yahoo! and Frontier Communications Extend Strategic Partnership with Co-Branded Experiences

SUNNYVALE, Calif. & STAMFORD, Conn. - June 29, 2011 - Yahoo! (NASDAQ:YHOO), the premier digital media company, and Frontier Communications Corporation (NYSE:FTR), the largest provider of communications services focused on rural America, today announced an expanded partnership that will deliver rich and innovative online experiences to Frontier's broadband subscribers in 27 states. Later this year, Frontier customers will be upgraded to a co-branded Frontier-Yahoo! email experience powered by Yahoo! Mail, the No. 1 email service in the U.S.

In addition, they will be able to access Yahoo!'s industry-leading digital content experiences through co-branded sites that will be integrated with the email service. This new agreement extends the relationship between Yahoo! and Frontier that began in 2008, allowing Frontier customers to access co-branded homepage, Toolbar, and Search bars from www.frontier.my.yahoo.com.

"By deepening our relationship with Frontier, we're reinforcing our commitment to deliver deeply personal digital experiences," said Raymond Stern, Yahoo!'s senior vice president, Americas Partnerships and Business Development. "Through our best-in-class digital content and services, we're providing Frontier subscribers with an enhanced platform to access what matters the most to them on the Web, while meeting the needs of advertisers."

"Our customers want access to the most complete suite of communication and digital content services available, and Yahoo!, with its superior package of easy-to-use features, was the logical partner," said Melinda White, Frontier's executive vice president, Revenue Development. "Yahoo! is more than an industry leader across multiple content and communications categories; like Frontier, it values delivering personalized digital experiences consumers seek from the Internet. For example, our current co-branded Frontier-Yahoo! homepage is customizable, enabling us to integrate Frontier's products and features, delivering more value as we engage with our customers and expand the speed and reach of our broadband network."
