History

Citizens Telecommunications Company of Nebraska was founded in 1999. It was created to take over former GTE Midwest operations that GTE sold off as part of a larger plan to sell telephone lines nationwide prior to its acquisition by Bell Atlantic^[2]

Citizens Utilities, upon acquiring assets of the former Frontier Corporation, began doing business as Frontier Communications. The company adopted the Frontier name for all of its local telephone operations, at which point Citizens in Nebraska began doing business as Frontier Communications of Nebraska.

Frontier provides telephone services to major communities such as Kearney through Citizens of Nebraska.
