(1)(n)   RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         On January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
         Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income."
         SFAS No. 130 requires companies to display, with the same prominence as
         other financial statements, the components of comprehensive income.
         Items considered to be other comprehensive income include adjustments
         made for unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale
         securities.



         During 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
         Standards (SFAS) No. 131 "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise
         and Related Information." SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for the
         way public business enterprises are to report information about
         operating segments in annual financial statements and requires those
         enterprises to report selected financial information about operating
         segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders.



         During 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
         Standards (SFAS) No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures About Pension and
         Other Postretirement Benefits" and has revised its disclosures for its
         pension and postretirement plans accordingly.

(15)     SEGMENT INFORMATION

         Effective December 31, 1998, the Company adopted FAS 131, "Disclosures
         about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." In early 1999
         the Company reorganized internal reporting to better manage business
         segments. As a result, the Company has four reportable segments, the
         incumbent local exchange carrier (ILEC), the competitive local exchange
         carrier and long distance services (CLEC/LD), Internet and data
         services (ISP), and the digital wireless group (DCS). Results for 1998
         and prior years have been reclassified to be comparative to 1999
         presentation. Accounting policies of the segments are the same as those
         described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The
         Company evaluates performance based on operating profit before other
         income (expenses) and income taxes. Intersegment sales are accounted
         for as if the transactions were to third parties.
