Frontier Presented Most Innovative Network Service at NetWorld+Interop Infr@structure Awards Inter@ctive Week awards Frontier GlobalCenter for leading in Web and application hosting SUNNYVALE, Calif., -- September 15, 1999 - Frontier GlobalCenter, the data and Internet arm of Frontier Communications, was presented the Most Innovative Network Service award for taking the lead in Web and application hosting, according to Inter@ctive Week. The award is part of Inter@ctive Week and NetWorld+Interop's 1999 Interop Infr@structure Awards presented at N+I in Atlanta, Georgia on September 14, 1999. "Although Web hosting has now become an expected service for ISPs, Frontier GlobalCenter pioneered the major data center approach and has stayed focused on delivering high-capacity service," commented Dennis Mendyk, Inter@ctive Week's Telecommunications Editor. "This is especially remarkable given the potential distractions of Frontier's merger with Global Crossing, and the merger battles with Qwest Communications." "It is a great honor to be presented this award at N+I," said Don Detampel, president of Frontier GlobalCenter. "As Frontier GlobalCenter grows beyond basic Web hosting, we look forward to the ability to move existing and future customers up the value chain. When customers look to us for outsourced solutions, they are able to take advantage of a scalable, highly available, complex hosting infrastructure that runs on its own OC-48 network. It is very exciting to receive recognition from Inter@ctive Week for these efforts." The Frontier GlobalCenter complex hosting infrastructure is comprised of three centers of excellence: ú The Frontier Optronics NetworkSM - a 20,000 route mile, fiber optic, redundant ring architecture designed to deliver unrivaled speed, scalability and reliability. The Frontier Optronics Network currently connects over 120 major U.S. metropolitan areas and includes a Cisco powered IP network operating at OC-48 (2.5 Gbps). ú Frontier GlobalCenter's Media Distribution Centers - geographically distributed, 24x7x365, on-net data centers designed to high-security, disaster-resistant specifications to ensure guaranteed uptime. ú Frontier Application Networking Services - highly available, reliable and flexible utility applications and services that enable anytime, anywhere computing.

Frontier GlobalCenter facilitates 60 percent of all Internet searches and delivers more than 8.8 billion page views per month, nearly 2 million hits per minute.
