SUNNYVALE, Calif. & STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- 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

said Raymond Stern, Yahoo!'s senior vice president, Americas Partnerships and Business Development. "Through our best-inclass digital content and services, we're providing Frontier subscribers with an enhanced platform to access what matters the

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,
