What expert says?
At the conference, Jureller highlighted some of the important things related to company’s operations. He said that prior to the first Verizon deal, the one-third of Frontier revenue source was residential voice revenue. However, the revenues concentration transformed from a secular declining business to become a lesser contributor of company’s success going forward. He added that the landline division is in declining stage, as many clients now opt for mobile service.
Frontier Communications Corp (NASDAQ:FTR) noticed the transformation and therefore shifted its focus on broadband Internet service, and that move played out extremely well with its acquisitions. By concentrating on higher-margin segments like residential and businesses broadband, the company can generate increased revenue from its increasing customer base and prevent negative impacts from leaving landline clients.
