THE COMPANY The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 1, 1996, to operate as a holding company in the wireless cable television and community (low power) television industries, as well as other segments of the communications industry. Effective December 20, 1996, the Company acquired from certain of its officers and directors and others licenses and leases of licenses to wireless cable television channels and community (low power) television channels. As of December 31, 1996, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of (1) Winter Entertainment, Inc., a Delaware corporation incorporated on December 28, 1995 ("WEI"), and (2) Missouri Cable TV Corp., a Louisiana corporation incorporated on October 9, 1996 ("MCTV"). WEI operates a community television station in Baton Rouge, Louisiana; MCTV owns wireless cable television channels in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, which system has been constructed and is ready for operation, and Lebanon, Missouri, which market's system has yet to be constructed. In January 1997, the Company entered into a joint venture (known as "Web One Wireless I.S.P. - Baton Rouge, J.V.") which is to operate as a Wireless Internet Service Provider (ISP) in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and acquired the right to utilize, on an exclusive basis, a licensed Wireless Internet Access System in operating as a Wireless ISP in several U.S. cities. The Company carries on its business through its subsidiaries. CONSULTING AND LEGAL SERVICES AGREEMENT AND ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK General On February 1, 1997, the Company entered into a Consulting and Legal Services Agreement with Newlan & Newlan, Attorneys at Law, a Texas general partnership (the Selling Shareholder). The Company has issued 150,000 shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to such Consulting and Legal Services Agreement. This Prospectus relates to the 150,000 shares issued to Newlan. Under the terms of the Consulting and Legal Services Agreement, the Selling Shareholder has agreed to provide consulting services with respect to financing opportunities and the acquisition of business opportunities and operating assets related to the wireless cable industry, community television industry and Internet business opportunities and related industries. None of the securities to which this Prospectus relates is issued pursuant to any program or plan and are not being administered by either the Board of Directors of the Company or any committee of the Board of Directors organized for that purpose. Federal Income Tax Effects Under the Consulting and Legal Services Agreement pursuant to which the Newlan Securities were issued, the Newlan Securities were valued at $.40 per share, or $60,000 in the aggregate. However, for financial reporting purposes, the Newlan Securities have been valued at $2.50 per share, or $375,000, in the aggregate, to approximate the fair value of the Newlan Securitis on the date issued. The issuance of the Newlan Securities will result in the recognition of taxable income to the Selling Shareholder. Correspondingly, the Company will be entitled to a deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income charged to the Selling Shareholder. Restrictions Under Securities Laws The sale of any shares of Common Stock issued under the Consulting and Legal Services Agreement must be made in compliance with federal and state securities laws. Officers, directors and 10% or greater shareholders of the Company, as well as certain other persons or parties who may be deemed to be "affiliates" of the Company under Federal securities laws, should be aware that resales by affiliates can only be made pursuant to an effective Registration Statement, Rule 144 or any other applicable exemption. SALES BY SELLING SHAREHOLDER The following table sets forth the name of the Selling Shareholder, the amount of shares of Common Stock held, directly or indirectly, the amount of Common Stock to be owned by the Selling Shareholder following sale of such shares of Common Stock and the percentage of shares of Common Stock to be owned by the Selling Shareholder following completion of such offering (based on 6,170,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding as of the date of this Prospectus). Per- cent- Shares age Name of Number To be To be Selling Of Shares Owned Owned Share- Shares To be After After holder Owned Offered Offering Offering - ----------- ------ ------- -------- -------- Newlan & Newlan 150,000 150,000 -0- -0- DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES Common Stock Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one (1) vote at all meetings of shareholders. All shares of Common Stock are equal to each other with respect to liquidation rights and dividend rights. There are no preemptive rights to purchase any additional shares of Common Stock. The Articles of Incorporation of the Company prohibit cumulative voting in the election of directors. The absence of cumulative voting means that holders of more than 50% of the shares voting for the election of directors can elect all directors if they choose to do so. In such event, the holders of the remaining shares of Common Stock will not be entitled to elect any director. A majority of the shares entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, constitutes a quorum at a meeting of shareholders. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders of shares of Common Stock will be entitled to receive, on a pro rata basis, all assets of the Company remaining after satisfaction of all liabilities. Transfer Agent The transfer agent for the shares of Common Stock of the Company is Securities Transfer Corporation, 16910 Dallas Parkway, Suite 100, Dallas, Texas 75248. INDEMNIFICATION The Company currently is seeking officer and director liability insurance, though none has been obtained as of the date of this Prospectus. Article X of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company provides that no director or officer of the Company shall be personally liable to the Company or its shareholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director officer; provided, however, that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer for (1) acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law or (2) the payment of dividends in violation of law. Any repeal or modification of Article X shall be prospective only and shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director or officer of the Company existing at the time of such repeal or modification for any breach covered by Article X which occurred prior to any such repeal or modification. The effect of Article X of the Company's Articles of Incorporation is that Company directors and officers will experience no monetary loss for damages arising out of actions taken (or not taken) in such capacities, except for damages arising out of intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, or the payment of dividends in violation of law. As permitted by Nevada law, the Company's Bylaws provide that the Company will indemnify its directors and officers against expense and liabilities they incur to defend, settle or satisfy any civil, including any action alleging negligence, or criminal action brought against them on account of their being or having been Company directors or officers unless, in any such action, they are judged to have acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. LEGAL MATTERS Legal matters in connection with the securities being offered hereby will be passed upon for the Company by Newlan & Newlan, Attorneys at Law, Dallas, Texas. EXPERTS The consolidated financial statements of the Company included in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Commission File No. 333-26385), declared effective August 12, 1997, incorporated by reference in this Prospectus, have been incorporated herein in reliance on the report of Weaver and Tidwell, L.L.P., Certified Public Accountants, independent certified public accountants, given on the authority of that firm as experts in auditing and accounting.

The documents listed in (a) and (c) below are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement. All documents subsequently filed by the Company pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which de-registers all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and to be part thereof from the date of filing of such documents.

(c) All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act since the end of the fiscal year covered by the Company's Annual Report referred to above. Item 4. Description of Securities. The Company is authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.0001 par value per share. The holders of Company Common Stock will be entitled to one vote per share on each matter submitted to a vote at any meeting of shareholders. Shares of Common Stock do not carry cumulative voting rights and, therefore, a majority of the shares of outstanding Common Stock will be able to elect the entire Board of Directors of the Company and, if they do so, minority shareholders would not be able to elect any persons to the Board of Directors. The Company's bylaws provide that a majority in number of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company shall constitute a quorum for shareholders' meetings, except with respect to certain matters for which a greater percentage quorum is required by statute or the bylaws. Shareholders of the Company will have no preemptive rights to acquire additional shares of Common Stock or other securities. The Common Stock will not be subject to redemption and will carry no subscription or conversion rights. In the event of liquidation of the Company, the shares of Common Stock will be entitled to share equally in corporate assets after satisfaction of all liabilities. The shares of Common Stock, when issued, will be fully paid and nonassessable. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive such dividends as the Board of Directors may from time to time declare out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends. The Company intends to expand its business through reinvestment of profits, if any, and does not anticipate that it will pay dividends in the foreseeable future. The Board of Directors has the authority to issue the authorized but unissued shares without action by the shareholders. Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel. The Selling Shareholder is legal counsel to the Company. Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers. Nevada Revised Statutes 78.037 is incorporated herein by this reference. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder may be permitted under said indemnification provisions of the law, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any such indemnification is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable. Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed. Inasmuch as the consultant who received shares of Common Stock of the Company is knowledgeable, sophisticated and had access to comprehensive information relevant to the Company, such transaction was undertaken in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Act. As a condition precedent to such grant, the consultant was required to express an investment intent and consent to the imprinting of a restrictive legend on each stock certificate to be received from the Company in the absence of sale pursuant to an effective Registration Statement.

(1) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (a) To file, during any period in which offerings or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement; (b) That, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and (c) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. (2) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be permitted to Directors, officers and controlling persons of Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
