"These settlements will hold Frontier and Verizon accountable to the communities they serve, bring major investments in broadband infrastructure, and represent a big step in ensuring that residents in these rural areas receive the high-quality service they deserve," Mayes said, adding that her office will compel compliance through the courts if Verizon and Frontier fail to abide by their commitments.
