SUMMARY: Chief Financial Officer Marvin C. Moses Appointed Vice
Chairman of the Board of Directors
William H. Oberlin Resigns as President and COO:
Chairman and CEO Ronald L. Bittner To Assume Interim
Operating Role
Rochester, NY, -- November 21, 1995 -- Frontier Corporation
(NYSE:FRO) announced today the appointment of Marvin C. Moses to
vice chairman and a member of its Board of Directors, where he
will also serve on the Executive Committee. Moses will continue
to oversee the financial affairs of the company in his role as
chief financial officer, while also assuming broader
responsibilities, including administrative and staff functions.
Prior to the August merger of Frontier Corporation and
ALC/Allnet, Moses was vice president and chief financial officer
of ALC. Louis L. Massaro, executive vice president and chief
administrative officer, will report to Moses.
Frontier also announced the resignation of William Oberlin,
effective immediately, from his position as president and chief
operating officer of the company and as a member of the Board of
Directors. Ronald L. Bittner, chairman and CEO of Frontier, will
assume Oberlin's duties on an interim basis.
Commenting on today's announcements, Bittner said, "Marvin
Moses was instrumental in the success of ALC and has already made
a major difference at Frontier. We are delighted that he will be
taking an expanded role as vice chairman, in addition to the
broadening of his role as CFO.

"We appreciate the work of Bill Oberlin since April in
integrating the former ALC business within Frontier," continued
Bittner. "With this consolidation largely underway and the new
organization operational, Bill wanted to pursue other
opportunities of a more entrepreneurial nature. We wish him
well."
Bittner said that the company will began an immediate
external search for a replacement for Oberlin. Throughout his
career at Frontier, Bittner has served in a number of senior
positions in the telephone and competitive businesses, including
equipment, wireless, local telephone and long distance. Prior to
the merger with ALC, all operating units reported directly to
Bittner.
Bittner concluded, "Frontier's financial health has never
been better. We fully expect to meet or exceed the synergies we
targeted as a result of our August merger with ALC. Frontier
continues to enjoy tremendous market acceptance for its
integrated telecommunications products and services, and looks
forward to the challenge of competing in a growing and exciting
marketplace."
Marvin Moses was named chief financial officer of Frontier
following the August 1995 merger with ALC. Prior to joining
Allnet, he was chief financial officer and senior vice president
of finance and administration at Cable & Wireless North America.
He is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of Illinois
with a B.A. in economics, and holds an M.B.A. from Northwestern
University.
Frontier Corporation is a provider of integrated
telecommunications solutions to more than 2.0 million customers
through its local, long distance and wireless communications
operations. The company was chartered in 1920 as Rochester
Telephone Corporation and renamed Frontier on January 1, 1995.
