| Competition |
| In its existing markets and the markets into which it intends to expand, the Company faces significant competition for its local telephone services, including local exchange services, from ILECs, which currently dominate their local telecommunications markets, and others. ILECs have long-standing relationships with their customers which relationships may create competitive barriers. Although CLECs as a whole tripled their customer lines in service in 1997 to 1.5 million lines, CLECs currently account for only 2.6% of all local telephone revenues, according to FCC statistics. Furthermore, ILECs may have the potential to subsidize competitive service from monopoly service revenues. In addition, a continuing trend toward business combinations and alliances in the communications industry may create significant new competitors to the Company. The Company also faces and will face competition in the markets in which it operates and in markets into which it intends to expand from one or more CAP/CLECs and ICPs operating fiber optic networks and, possibly, from local cable systems which may offer communication services. Many of the Company's existing and potential competitors have financial, personnel and other resources significantly greater than those of the Company. The Company believes various legislative initiatives, including the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the "Act"), have removed most of the remaining legislative barriers to local exchange competition. Nevertheless, in light of the passage of the Act, regulators are also likely to provide ILECs with increased pricing flexibility as competition increases. If ILECs are permitted to lower their rates substantially or engage in excessive volume or term discount pricing practices, the net income or cash flow of the Company could be materially adversely affected. |
