Mid-Plains, Inc. ("Mid-Plains"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Chorus 
Communications Group, Ltd. ("Chorus"), is one of the limited partners in 
Madison SMSA Limited Partnership ("Partnership").  The Partnership provides 
cellular telephone service in the geographic area roughly bounded by the 
Madison (Wisconsin)Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area ("SMSA").  Ameritech 
Mobile Communications of Wisconsin, Inc. ("Ameritech") is the general partner 
of the Partnership.  While Mid-Plains believes it has continued to receive 
distributions from the Partnership with respect to its limited partnership 
interest, Ameritech has discontinued providing Mid-Plains with information to 
which all limited partners are entitled.

Mid-Plains believes Ameritech's decision for stopping the flow of Partnership
information to Mid-Plains is based upon Ameritech's misinterpretation of a
non-compete type provision in the Partnership Agreement ("Agreement").  The
Partnership Agreement provides that no partner shall provide cellular service
(as defined in the Agreement) independently of the Partnership within the SMSA.
Ameritech contends that the non-compete provision of Partnership Agreement was
intended by the parties to prevent any of the member partners or their 
affiliates from competing with the Partnership in the provision of competitive
mobile wireless voice communication telephone service, including cellular 
service and a relatively new service based on technology known as personal
communication service or"PCS", and therefore Mid-Plains is in default and must
withdraw from the Partnership.  PCS Wisconsin, LLC, a 75% owned subsidiary of
Mid-Plains, was formed in 1996 for the purpose of and was successful in 
obtaining a license from the Federal Communications Commission in 1997 to 
provide PCS service.  PCS Wisconsin, LLC is now authorized to provide PCS 
service in the Madison, Wisconsin area.  To date, however, PCS Wisconsin, LLC 
has not provided any PCS related services nor has it begun construction of the
necessary facilities. 

In December 1997, Mid-Plains filed suit in Wisconsin in the Dane County Circuit
Court alleging that Ameritech breached its duties as general partner relative to
denying Mid-Plains equal treatment with other limited partners and asked the
court for a declatory judgment that Mid-Plains' participation in PCS Wisconsin,
LLC in some of the territory served by the Partnership does not violate the
Partnership Agreement.  Ameritech filed its answer on January 8, 1997.  
Mid-Plains believes that (i)it has not violated the anti-competitive provisions
of the Partnership Agreement, (ii)it is not in default of the Partnership
Agreement, and (iii)it is being unlawfully excluded from Partnership 
information.  Mid-Plains' net investment in the Partnership was $3,648,321 as
of December 31, 1997.  Mid-Plains cannot presently predict the outcome of this 
matter with any degree of certainty.
