Item 5.  Other Events

Teligent, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), has been restructuring
its operations to attract funding from investors and/or purchasers to keep all
of its current businesses operational. Due to the Company's inability to attract
a suitable investor and/or purchaser in the timeframe anticipated, the Company
is taking steps to further restructure its operations. On November 14, 2001, the
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York authorized the Company to
substantially reduce its workforce as necessary, file regulatory applications
and notices regarding the discontinuance of certain services to a substantial
number of customers in eleven markets, and issue notices to such affected
customers. The Company will continue to provide facilities-based private line,
transport, and wholesale services as well as resold services in all 74 markets
where it holds fixed-wireless licenses.
