      Citizens Communications Company (NYSE: CZN) announced today that it 
      continues to take steps to eradicate child pornography on the Internet. 
      Since 2004, Frontier has not offered or provided Internet access to 
      newsgroups that contain photographs or images involving child 
      pornography. Within the next few days, Frontier intends to sign a 
      Memorandum of Understanding with the National Center for Missing & 
      Exploited Children (NCMEC) and, within 30 days, to begin blocking access 
      to child pornography websites identified by NCMEC that are hosted on 
      Frontier’s servers.
    
    
      “Citizens is committed to taking appropriate 
      steps to eradicate child pornography from our servers as evidenced by 
      the steps we have taken and announced today. Citizens Communications is 
      pleased to be part of a national effort to keep children safe from this 
      illegal activity. We note in particular the efforts of the New York 
      State Attorney General, Andrew Cuomo, in this regard and thank him for 
      his concern for the children of the State,”
