I'm not sure about Frontier specifically, as they aren't a MEANS PILEC,
but several of the rurual telcos will be rolling it out slowly over hte
next 12 months.

One of hte problems is the 15 to 24 thousand foot limitations on loops
(depending on equipment) makes it tough for a lot of places to roll it
out.
