SUMMARY: GILL RESIGNS FROM FRONTIER CORPORATION
Rochester, N.Y. -- April 12, 1996 -- H. Robert Gill, 59, has
resigned as a senior vice president and president of Frontier
Corporation's (NYSE: FRO) Enhanced Products Group, the company announced
today.
Frontier will not fill Gill's position. Responsibilities for the
Enhanced Products Group will fall under Robert L. Barrett, 54, president
of Frontier Network Systems and Services. The group includes ConferTech
International, ConferTech Canada, LinkUSA and LINK-VTC. Donald
Detampel, 40, president of ConferTech International, will report to
Barrett and will now also oversee LINK-VTC and ConferTech Canada. Frank
Brletich, 49, remains president of LinkUSA and also will report to
Barrett.
Gill joined Frontier after the company merged with ALC
Communications Corporation in 1995. He had formerly served as president
and CEO of ConferTech International, the teleconferencing subsidiary of
ALC.
Frontier Corporation is the parent company whose long distance,
local telephone and wireless communications subsidiaries provide a range
of integrated services to customers. It was chartered in 1920 as
Rochester Telephone Corporation. Frontier employs 8,000 and maintains
more than 200 sales offices in the United States, Canada and the United
Kingdom. With $2.1 billion in annual revenues, the corporation produced
a total return on assets of 46 percent in 1995. The combined long
distance revenues of Frontier's subsidiaries rank them fifth among long
distance companies.
