Exhibit 99.1

Limited History as an ICP; Risks Relating to Implementation of New Strategy 

	Although the Company has sold integrated telecommunications services for 
over 14 years, it sold local telephone services as an agent for Bell 
Atlantic Corp. ("Bell Atlantic") until December 1997 and only began 
offering such services as an integrated communications provider ("ICP") 
under its own brand name after that time. As a result of the Company 
terminating its agency relationship with Bell Atlantic, agency revenues, 
which accounted for approximately 73% of the Company's revenues for the six 
month period ended September 30, 1998 are no longer material. For the six 
month period ended September 30, 1998, total revenues increased from 
approximately $23,500,000 to approximately $27,351,000. There can be no 
assurance that the Company's prior experience in the sale of 
telecommunications services as a sales agent will result in the Company 
generating sufficient cash flow to service its debt obligations or to 
compete successfully under its new strategy. 

	The Company plans to deploy its own Integrated Communications Network 
(''ICN''). The Company has no experience in deploying, operating and 
maintaining a telecommunications network. The Company's ability to 
successfully deploy its ICN will require the negotiation of interconnection 
agreements with incumbent local exchange carriers (''ILECs''), which can 
take considerable time, effort and expense and which are subject to 
federal, state and local regulation. There can be no assurance that the 
Company will be able to successfully negotiate such agreements or to 
effectively deploy, operate or maintain its facilities or increase or 
maintain its cash flow from operations by deploying a network. Further, 
there can be no assurance that the packet-switched design of the network 
will provide the expected functionality in serving its target market or 
that customers will be willing to migrate the provision of their services 
onto the Company's network. The Company has engaged a network services 
integrator to design, engineer and manage the buildout of the ICN in the 
Company's existing markets. Any failure or inability by the network 
integrator to perform these functions could cause delays or additional 
costs in providing services to customers and building out the Company's ICN 
in specific markets. Any such failure could materially and adversely affect 
the Company's business and results of operations. 

	If the Company fails to effectively transition to an ICP platform, fails 
to obtain or retain a significant number of customers or is unable to 
effectively deploy, operate or maintain its network, such failure could 
have an adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and 
financial condition. In addition, the implementation of its new strategy 
and the deployment of its network has increased and will continue to 
increase the Company's expenses significantly. Accordingly, the Company 
expects to incur significant negative cash flow during the next several 
years as it implements its business strategy, penetrates its existing 
markets as an ICP, enters new markets, deploys its ICN and expands its 
service offerings. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve 
and sustain profitability or positive net cash flow. 


Capital Requirements

The timing and amount of the Company's actual capital requirements may be 
materially affected by many factors, including the timing and actual cost 
of expansion into new markets and deployment of the ICN, the extent of 
competition and pricing of telecommunications services in its markets, 
acceptance of the Company's services, technological change and potential 
acquisitions. Additional sources of funding the Company's capital 
requirements may include public offerings or private placements of equity 
or debt securities, vendor financing and bank loans. There can be no 
assurance that future financing will be available to the Company or, if 
available, that it can be obtained on a timely basis and on terms 
acceptable to the Company. Failure to obtain financing when required could 
result in the delay or abandonment of the Company's business plans which 
could have a material adverse effect on the Company. 


High Leverage; Possible Inability to Service Indebtedness 

As a result of obtaining both the Fleet/Goldman Sachs credit facility and 
the Cisco vendor financing facility, the Company is highly leveraged. The 
degree to which the Company is leveraged could have important consequences 
to the Company's future prospects, including the following: (i) limiting 
the ability of the Company to obtain any necessary financing in the future 
for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements or 
other purposes; (ii) limiting the flexibility of the Company in planning 
for, or reacting to, changes in its business; (iii) leveraging the Company 
more highly than some of its competitors, which may place it at a 
competitive disadvantage; (iv) increasing its vulnerability in the event of 
a downturn in its business or the economy generally; and (v) requiring that 
a substantial portion of the Company's cash flow from operations be 
dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on its debt and not be 
available for other purposes. 

	The Company's ability to make scheduled payments of principal of, or to 
pay the interest on, or to refinance, its indebtedness, or to fund planned 
capital expenditures will depend on its future performance, which, to a 
certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, 
legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond its control. 
There can be no assurance that the Company's business will generate 
sufficient cash flow from operations or that anticipated revenue growth and 
operating improvements will be realized or will be sufficient to enable the 
Company to service its indebtedness, or to fund its other liquidity needs. 
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to refinance all or 
a portion of its indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms or at all. 
If the Company does not generate sufficient cash flow to meet its debt 
service and working capital requirements, the Company may need to examine 
alternative strategies that may include actions such as reducing or 
delaying capital expenditures, restructuring or refinancing its 
indebtedness, the sale of assets or seeking additional equity and/or debt 
financing. There can be no assurance that any of these strategies could be 
effected on satisfactory terms, if at all. 


Dependence on In-House Billing and Information System 

	The accurate and prompt billing of the Company's customers is essential 
to the Company's operations and future profitability. The Company's 
expected growth and deployment of its ICN could give rise to additional 
demands on the CTC Information System, and there can be no assurance that 
it will perform as expected. The failure of the Company to adequately 
identify all of its information and processing needs (including Year 2000 
compliance), the failure of the CTC Information System or the failure of 
the Company to upgrade the CTC Information System as necessary could have a 
material adverse effect on the Company and its results of operations. 


Dependence on Supplier Provided Timely and Accurate Call Data Records; 
Billing and Invoice Disputes 

	In its reseller business, the Company is dependent upon the timely 
receipt and accuracy of call data records provided to it by its suppliers. 
There can be no assurance that accurate information will consistently be 
provided by suppliers or that such information will be provided on a timely 
basis. Failure by suppliers to provide timely and accurate detail would 
increase the length of the Company's billing and collection cycles and 
adversely effect its operating results. The Company pays its suppliers 
according to the Company's calculation of the charges applicable to the 
Company based on supplier invoices and computer tape records of all such 
calls provided by suppliers which may not always reflect current rates and 
volumes. Accordingly, a supplier may consider the Company to be in arrears 
in its payments until the amount in dispute is resolved. There can be no 
assurance that disputes with suppliers will not arise or that such disputes 
will be resolved in a manner favorable to the Company. In addition, the 
Company is required to maintain sophisticated billing and reporting systems 
to service the large volume of services placed over its networks. As resale 
volumes increase, there can be no assurance that the Company's billing and 
management systems will be sufficient to provide the Company with accurate 
and efficient billing and order processing capabilities. 


Dependence on Network Infrastructure and Products and Services of Others 

	The Company does not currently own any part of a local exchange or long 
distance network and depends entirely on facilities-based carriers for the 
transmission of customer traffic. After the deployment of the ICN, it will 
still rely, at least initially, on others for circuit switching of local 
voice calls and on fiber optic backbone transmission facilities. There can 
be no assurance that such switching or transmission facilities will be 
available to the Company on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to the 
Company. The Company's success in marketing its services requires that the 
Company provide superior reliability, capacity and service. Although the 
Company can exercise direct control of the customer care and support it 
provides, most of the services that it currently offers are provided by 
others. Such services are subject to physical damage, power loss, capacity 
limitations, software defects, breaches of security (by computer virus, 
break-ins or otherwise) and other factors, certain of which have caused, 
and will continue to cause, interruptions in service or reduced capacity 
for the Company's customers. Such problems, although not the result of 
failures by the Company, can result in dissatisfaction among its customers. 

	In addition, the Company's ability to provide complete 
telecommunications services to its customers will be dependent to a large 
extent upon the availability of telecommunications services from others on 
terms and conditions that are acceptable to the Company and its customers. 
There can be no assurance that government regulations will continue to 
mandate the availability of some or all of such services or that the 
quality or terms on which such services are available will be acceptable to 
the Company or its customers. 


Customer Attrition 

	The Company's operating results may be significantly affected by its 
customer attrition rates. There can be no assurance that customers will 
continue to purchase long distance or other services through the Company in 
the future or that the Company will not be subject to increased customer 
attrition rates. The Company believes that the high level of customer 
attrition in the industry is primarily a result of national advertising 
campaigns, telemarketing programs and customer incentives provided by major 
competitors. There can be no assurance that customer attrition rates will 
not increase in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on 
the Company's operating results. 


Ability to Manage Growth; Rapid Expansion of Operations 

	The Company is pursuing a new business plan that, if successfully 
implemented, will result in rapid growth and expansion of its operations, 
which will place significant additional demands upon the Company's current 
management. If this growth is achieved, the Company's success will depend, 
in part, on its ability to manage this growth and enhance its information, 
management, operational and financial systems. There can be no assurance 
that the Company will be able to manage expanding its operations. The 
Company's failure to manage growth effectively could have a material 
adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial 
condition. 


Potential Impact of the Bell Atlantic Litigation

In December 1997, the Company filed suit against Bell Atlantic for breaches 
of its agency contract, including the failure of Bell Atlantic's retail 
division to pay $14 million in agency commissions (approximately $11.5 
million as of November 10, 1998) owed to the Company. The Company is 
vigorously pursuing this suit.  Although the Company believes the 
collection of the agency commissions sought in the suit is probable, there 
can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in collecting these 
commissions. If the Company fails to collect any of the amounts sought or 
if their collection becomes less than probable, the Company would be 
required to write off the amounts reflected in its financial statements 
that it is unable to collect or for which collection becomes less than 
probable. Delay in the collection or write-off of the agency commissions 
sought may also adversely affect the Company. 

In addition, the Company must use Bell Atlantic infrastructure for nearly 
all of the local telephony services that it currently provides and, 
although Bell Atlantic is prohibited by federal law from discriminating 
against the Company, there can be no assurance that the litigation with 
Bell Atlantic will not negatively affect the Company's relationships with 
Bell Atlantic's wholesale division. 

Dependence on Key Personnel 

	The Company believes that its continued success will depend to a 
significant extent upon the abilities and continued efforts of its 
management, particularly members of its senior management team. The loss of 
the services of any of such individuals could have a material adverse 
effect on the Company's results of operations. The success of the Company 
will also depend, in part, upon the Company's ability to identify, hire and 
retain additional key management as well as highly skilled and qualified 
sales, service and technical personnel. Competition for qualified personnel 
in the telecommunications industry is intense, and there can be no 
assurance that the Company will be able to attract and retain additional 
employees and retain its current key employees. The inability to hire and 
retain such personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company's 
business. 


Competition 

	The Company operates in a highly competitive environment and has no 
significant market share in any market in which it operates. The Company 
expects that it will face substantial and growing competition from a 
variety of data transport, data networking and telephony service providers 
due to regulatory changes, including the continued implementation of the 
Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the ''Telecommunications Act''), and the 
increase in the size, resources and number of such participants as well as 
a continuing trend toward business combinations and alliances in the 
industry. The Company faces competition for the provision of integrated 
telecommunications services as well as competition in each of the 
individual market segments that comprise the Company's integrated approach. 
In each of these market segments, the Company faces competition from 
larger, better capitalized incumbent providers, which have long standing 
relationships with their customers and greater name recognition than the 
Company. 


Regulation 

	The Company's local and long distance telephony service, and to a lesser 
extent its data services, are subject to federal, state, and, to some 
extent, local regulation. 

	The Federal Communications Commission (the ''FCC'') exercises 
jurisdiction over all telecommunications common carriers, including the 
Company, to the extent that they provide interstate or international 
communications. Each state regulatory commission retains jurisdiction over 
the same carriers with respect to the provision of intrastate 
communications. Local governments sometimes impose franchise or licensing 
requirements on telecommunications carriers and regulate construction 
activities involving public right-of-way. Changes to the regulations 
imposed by any of these regulators could affect the Company. 

	While the Company believes that the current trend toward relaxed 
regulatory oversight and competition will benefit the Company, the Company 
cannot predict the manner in which all aspects of the Telecommunications 
Act will be implemented by the FCC and by state regulators or the impact 
that such regulation will have on its business. The Company is subject to 
FCC and state proceedings, rulemakings, and regulations, and judicial 
appeal of such proceedings, rulemaking and regulations, which address, 
among other things, access charges, fees for universal service 
contributions, ILEC resale obligations, wholesale rates, and prices and 
terms of interconnection and unbundling. The outcome of these rulemakings, 
judicial appeals, and subsequent FCC or state actions may make it more 
difficult or expensive for the Company or its competitors to do business. 
Such developments could have a material effect on the Company. The Company 
also cannot predict whether other regulatory decisions and changes will 
enhance or lessen the competitiveness of the Company relative to other 
providers of the products and services offered by the Company. In addition, 
the Company cannot predict what other costs or requirements might be 
imposed on the Company by state or local governmental authorities and 
whether or not any additional costs or requirements will have a material 
adverse effect on the Company. 


Risks Associated With Possible Acquisitions 

	As it expands, the Company may pursue strategic acquisitions. 
Acquisitions commonly involve certain risks, including, among others: 
difficulties in assimilating the acquired operations and personnel; 
potential disruption of the Company's ongoing business and diversion of 
resources and management time; possible inability of management to maintain 
uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies; entering markets or 
businesses in which the Company has little or no direct prior experience; 
and potential impairment of relationships with employees or customers as a 
result of changes in management. There can be no assurance that any 
acquisition will be made, that the Company will be able to obtain any 
additional financing needed to finance such acquisitions and, if any 
acquisitions are so made, that the acquired business will be successfully 
integrated into the Company's operations or that the acquired business will 
perform as expected. The Company has no definitive agreement with respect 
to any acquisition, although from time to time it has discussions with 
other companies and assesses opportunities on an ongoing basis. 


Year 2000 Compliance 

	The Company has assessed its systems and expects all of them to be year 
2000 compliant by the end of 1998. However, there can be no assurance that 
all systems will function adequately until the occurrence of year 2000. In 
addition, if the systems of other companies on whose services the Company 
depends or with whom the Company's systems interface are not year 2000 
compliant, there could be a material adverse effect on the Company. 


Control By Principal Shareholders; Voting Agreement 

	As of November 9, 1998, the officers and directors and parties 
affiliated with or related to such officers and directors controlled 
approximately 48.5% of the outstanding voting power of the Common Stock. 
Robert J. Fabbricatore, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the 
Company, beneficially owns approximately 27.5% of the outstanding shares of 
Common Stock. Consequently, the officers and directors will have the 
ability to exert significant influence over the election of all the members 
of the Company's Board, and the outcome of all corporate actions requiring 
stockholder approval. In addition, Mr. Fabbricatore has agreed to vote the 
shares beneficially owned by him in favor of the election to the Company's 
Board of Directors of up to two persons designated by the holders of a 
majority of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. 


Impact Of Technological Change 

	The telecommunications industry has been characterized by rapid 
technological change, frequent new service introductions and evolving 
industry standards. The Company believes that its long-term success will 
increasingly depend on its ability to offer integrated telecommunications 
services that exploit advanced technologies and anticipate or adapt to 
evolving industry standards. There can be no assurance that (i) the Company 
will be able to offer new services required by its customers, (ii) the 
Company's services will not be economically or technically outmoded by 
current or future competitive technologies, (iii) the Company will have 
sufficient resources to develop or acquire new technologies or introduce 
new services capable of competing with future technologies or service 
offerings (iv) all or part of the ICN or the CTC Information System will 
not be rendered obsolete, (v) the cost of the ICN will decline as rapidly 
as that of competitive alternatives, or (vi) lower retail rates for 
telecommunications services will not result from technological change. In 
addition, increases in technological capabilities or efficiencies could 
create an incentive for more entities to become facilities-based ICPs. 
Although the effect of technological change on the future business of the 
Company cannot be predicted, it could have a material adverse effect on the 
Company's business, results of operations and financial condition. 


Possible Volatility Of Stock Price 

	The stock market historically has experienced volatility which has 
affected the market price of securities of many companies and which has 
sometimes been unrelated to the operating performance of such companies. In 
addition, factors such as announcements of developments related to the 
Company's business, or that of its competitors, its industry group or its 
customers, fluctuations in the Company's results of operations, a shortfall 
in results of operations compared to analysts' expectations and changes in 
analysts' recommendations or projections, sales of substantial amounts of 
securities of the Company into the marketplace, regulatory developments 
affecting the telecommunications industry or data services or general 
conditions in the telecommunications industry or the worldwide economy, 
could cause the market price of the Common Stock to fluctuate 
substantially. 


Absence Of Dividends 

	The Company has not paid and does not anticipate paying any cash 
dividends on its Common Stock in the foreseeable future. The Company 
intends to retain its earnings, if any, for use in the Company's growth and 
ongoing operations. In addition, the Goldman Sachs/Fleet Loan and Security 
Agreement provides that without the Lenders' prior written consent, the 
Company may not make any distribution or declare any dividends in cash or 
property other than stock during the three-year term of the Loan and 
Security Agreement.  In addition, the terms of the Series A Convertible 
Preferred Stock restrict, and the terms of future debt financings are 
expected to restrict, the ability of the Company to pay dividends on the 
Common Stock. 

Potential Effect Of Anti-takeover Provisions And Issuances Of Preferred 
Stock 

	Certain provisions of the Company's Articles of Organization and Bylaws 
and the Massachusetts Business Corporation Law may have the effect of 
delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of the Company or 
preventing the removal of incumbent directors. The existence of these 
provisions may have a negative impact on the price of the Common Stock and 
may discourage third party bidders from making a bid for the Company or may 
reduce any premiums paid to stockholders for their Common Stock. In 
addition, the Company's Board of Directors has the authority without action 
by the Company's stockholders to issue shares of the Company's Preferred 
Stock and to fix the rights, privileges and preferences of such stock, 
which may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in 
control. Certain provisions of the Company's outstanding Series A 
Convertible Preferred Stock which provide for payment of the liquidation 
preference in cash upon the consummation of certain transactions may have 
the effect of discouraging third parties from entering into such 
transactions.
