Verizon Communications has announced a $20 billion acquisition of Frontier Communications to enhance its fiber broadband services, expanding coverage to 25 million homes and businesses across 31 states. This deal aims to streamline connectivity and improve redundancy in their network, minimizing the impact of connectivity issues.
