Re:        Notice of Blackout Period
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     As you  know,  you  may  not  buy or sell  equity  securities  of  Frontier
Communications  Corporation (the "Company") during a specified period of time in
each calendar quarter (the "Quarterly Blackout Period").  The Quarterly Blackout
Period for the first  quarter  ending March 31, 2009 began on March 16, 2009 and
will last until the second  business day  following  the filing of the Company's
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2009. You will be
informed of the exact date on which the Quarterly  Blackout Period for the first
quarter ending March 31, 2009 will end.

     Please note that the Quarterly  Blackout  Period for the first quarter 2009
is  expected  to  partially   overlap  with  a  separate   blackout  period  for
participants in the Frontier Communications Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan (the
"401(k)  Plan")  that is  required  in  order  to  effect  a  transition  of the
administration of the 401(k) Plan to a new service provider. The blackout period
for the 401(k) Plan is scheduled to commence the week  beginning  April 19, 2009
and is  expected  to end the week  beginning  May 17,  2009 (the "Plan  Blackout
Period").  Since the exact dates of the Plan Blackout  Period depend on a number
of factors,  you may call me at (203) 614-5675 at any time to determine  whether
the Plan  Blackout  Period  has begun or ended.  I also will  notify  you of any
delays.

     Regardless of whether you are a participant in the 401(k) Plan, YOU ARE NOW
PROHIBITED FROM TRADING IN THE COMPANY'S  EQUITY  SECURITIES,  other than exempt
transactions,  until the  expiration  of the  Quarterly  Blackout  Period or the
expiration of the Plan Blackout Period,  whichever is later. You should be aware
that certain  transactions  which are normally  permitted  during our  Quarterly
Blackout  Periods (for example,  exercising  stock options,  paying the exercise
price for option shares by tendering  previously owned shares or using shares to
satisfy the tax withholding  obligation upon a vesting of restricted  stock) are
not  permitted  during the Plan  Blackout  Period.  The  regulations  do provide
exceptions for a limited number of transactions, primarily those that take place
automatically or in a manner that is outside your control.  Bona fide gifts also
are exempted.

     Please remember that in addition to the above trading prohibitions, you are
generally prohibited from buying,  selling or recommending  securities while you
are aware of material,  non-public information about any security or its issuer.
Once these  blackout  periods end, you will still be subject to our normal rules
requiring pre-clearance of trading in the Company's equity securities.

     Federal  securities  laws  require  us to provide  this  notice to you as a
director  or  executive  officer  of the  Company.  Please  contact  me at (203)
614-5675 for further information or questions.
