OFFERING OF COMMON STOCK

         On October 18, 2001, we filed a registration statement relating to an
underwritten offering of up to 3,000,000 shares of our common stock to be sold
by us and up to 5,000,000 shares of our common stock to be sold by certain of
our stockholders. In addition, we have granted the underwriters an option to
purchase up to 1,200,000 additional shares of our common stock to cover
over-allotments. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares
by the selling stockholders. We expect that the shares of common stock to be
sold by us will be listed on The Nasdaq National Market.

         We intend to use the net proceeds received by us from the offering for
general corporate purposes, which may include:



     o    acceleration of coverage within our existing territory;

     o    build-out of additional areas within our existing territories;

     o    expansion of our existing territory; and

     o    pursuit of additional telecommunications business opportunities or
          acquisition of other telecommunications assets or businesses.

LOCK-UP AGREEMENTS

         Our directors, our executive officers, the selling stockholders and
other persons who directly or indirectly beneficially own at least one million
shares of our common stock, have agreed not to offer, sell, contract to sell or
otherwise dispose of any shares of common stock or any security convertible into
or exchangeable for common stock for a period of 90 days from the date of
completion of this offering without the prior written consent of Salomon Smith
Barney Inc., subject to certain exceptions. Certain shareholders who have
entered into lock-up agreements have previously executed 10b5-1 stock plans. The
shares subject to such plans are not subject to the terms of the lock-up.
Pursuant to these plans an aggregate of approximately 1.6 million shares of our
common stock could be available for sale in the fourth quarter of 2001. All but

excess of $20 per share.


         We have agreed not to issue, sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of
common stock during the 90 day period following the date of completion of this
offering. We may, however, grant options to purchase shares of common stock and
issue shares of common stock upon the exercise of outstanding options under our
existing stock option plans and we may issue or sell common stock in connection
with an acquisition or business combination as long as the acquiror of such
common stock agrees in writing to be bound by the obligations and restrictions
of our lock-up agreement.
