Verizon Nearing Deal for Frontier CommunicationsAn agreement for

Dallas-based fiber provider could be announced this week

Verizon is in advanced talks to acquire Frontier Communications in a deal
that would bolster the company's fiber network to compete with rivals including AT&T, according to people familiar with the matter.

An announcement could come this week, granted the talks don't hit any last-minute snags, the people said.

A deal would be sizable, given Frontier's market value of over $7
billion. The company, cobbled together by several deals over the years, provides broadband connections to about three million locations across 25 states.
