Verizon’s next big acquisition might be Frontier. Reports from The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg suggest that Verizon is in “advanced talks” to acquire the communications provider, with a potential announcement coming as soon as this week.

Joining forces with Frontier could help Verizon expand its fiber footprint — by clawing back some of its old Fios subscribers. In 2015, Frontier bought Verizon’s wireline operations, including Fios fiber internet connections, across three states for $10.5 billion.

With AT&T going deeper into fiber and T-Mobile planning to acquire fiber provider Metronet, Verizon executives may have decided that now’s a good time to get back into the business. During the Bank of America Securities conference today, Verizon consumer group CEO Sowmyanarayan Sampath answered a question on whether Verizon would partner with another company to help grow its fiber network:

Despite declining to comment on the Frontier rumors during his interview, Sampath also said “To build a sustainable long term mobile plus home play, you need owners’ economics on both the home piece and the mobility piece,” and readily coughed up a stat claiming that bundling fiber and mobility services reduces customer churn by 50 percent for mobility, and by 40 percent for fiber.
