Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2004

Note 3:  Acquisitions, page 51

1. We note that in June 2003 you wrote-off all the goodwill
relating
to your October 2002 acquisition of Compass Telecom.  With a view
towards improved MD&A discussions in future filings, please
describe
to us the factors, both company-specific and macro-economic, which
you
believe resulted in the Compass Telecom goodwill being impaired
less
than nine months after the purchase.  Discuss how these factors
related to your decision to sell back the Compass Telecom assets
to
two of the former owners.
Financial Statements, page 36

2. We note the amended 2004 Form 10-K/A filed on April 13, 2005
which
includes corrections to the audited financial statements.  Please
revise the amendment to include a complete set of audited
financial
statements.  In addition, include the appropriate consents and
certifications.

marked copies of the amendment to expedite our review.  Please
furnish
a cover letter with your amendment that keys your responses to our
comments and provides any requested information.  Detailed cover
letters greatly facilitate our review.  Please understand that we

the
disclosures they have made.
