Re:       Notice of Lifting of Special Blackout Period
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     On March  23,  2009 I sent to you a notice  (the  "Blackout  Notice")  of a
special  blackout  period (the "Plan Blackout  Period") for  participants in the
Frontier Communications Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan (the "401(k) Plan") that
was required in order to effect a transition of the administration of the 401(k)
Plan to a new service provider.  In the Blackout Notice, I informed you that the
Plan Blackout Period was scheduled to commence the week beginning April 19, 2009
and was expected to end the week beginning May 17, 2009.

     Completion   of  the   transition   occurred   earlier  than   anticipated.
Accordingly, the Plan Blackout Period ended on May 14, 2009.

     Please  remember  that  notwithstanding  the  lifting of the Plan  Blackout
Period,  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.  Accordingly,  you are still 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.
