              TEK DIGITEL TO SUSPEND ITS REPORTING OBLIGATIONS AND

                           DEREGISTER ITS COMMON STOCK

GERMANTOWN, MD - November 9, 2001 TEK DigiTel (TEKI:OTCBB) today announced that
in an effort to preserve the Company's remaining cash and other resources, it
had filed a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to suspend its
obligation to file periodic reports, including its quarterly and annual reports
with the SEC, and to deregister the Company's common stock under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. The suspension of its reporting obligations will take
effect immediately. The deregistration of the common stock is expected to become
effective 90 days from the date of filing.
The Board of Directors considered many factors in making this decision. These
factors include but are not limited to (i) the number of its stockholders of
record, (ii) the nature and extent of the trading of its common stock, and (iii)
the Company's financial condition. In addition to the significant time and cost
savings resulting from the suspension of its reporting obligations and
deregistration of its common stock, this action will allow management of the
Company to focus its attention and resources on aggressively exploring financial
alternatives for the business.
