CTC Communications Corp. Completes Holding Company Reorganization

WALTHAM, Mass.--Oct. 1, 1999--CTC Communications Corp. (NASDAQ:CPTL) (the
"Company" or "CTC") announced today that it has reorganized into a holding
company form of organizational structure which changed the jurisdiction of
the enterprise from Massachusetts to Delaware. As a result of the
reorganization, a new parent company, CTC Communications Group, Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("CTC Group"), owns 100 percent of CTC, the previous
publicly-held company. Stockholders of CTC have automatically become
stockholders of CTC Group on a share for share basis.

The new holding company organizational structure will allow CTC Group to
manage its entire organization more effectively and broadens the alternatives
for future financing.

The reorganization was approved by the required two-thirds vote of CTC
stockholders under Massachusetts law. Existing certificates representing
shares of CTC's common stock serve as evidence of ownership of the same
number of shares of common stock of CTC Group; an exchange of certificates is
not required. The change to the holding company structure was tax free to
CTC's stockholders. The by-laws, executive officers and board of directors of
CTC Group are the same as those of CTC. CTC Group's common stock will
continue to be listed on the Nasdaq National Market under the ticker symbol
"CPTL." The new Cusip No. for CTC Group's common stock is 12641[9] 100.
