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 71% of the 
Company's revenues for the nine month period ended December 31, 
1997 are no longer material. For the first quarter ended June 
30, 1998, agency revenues decreased from approximately $8.6 
million to approximately $400,000 and total revenues increased 
from approximately $11.6 million to approximately $12.8 
million. 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 Company has obtained a commitment for an interim credit 
facility (the ''Interim Facility'') from its current lender. 
The Interim Facility, which would mature on June 30, 1999, 
would provide secured revolving loans of up to $20 million to 
refinance the Credit Facility, to fund capital expenditures and 
operating losses and for general corporate purposes. The 
commitment, which is subject to certain conditions, extends to 
September 30, 1998. To satisfy one of those conditions, the 
Company has received a commitment from Spectrum to purchase $5 
million of Preferred Stock which extends until June 30, 1999. 
The Company believes that the Interim Facility and the Interim 
Spectrum Financing, if required, together with cash on hand 
would be sufficient to refinance the Company's existing credit 
facility and fund the Company's existing operations for at 
least the next 12 months. However, CTC would be required to 
delay its proposed geographic expansion and deployment of 
facilities or to obtain additional financing within the next 6 
months. 

To meet its projected capital requirements, on August 5, 1998, 
the Company obtained a commitment from Goldman Sachs Credit 
Partners, L.P. and Fleet National Bank (collectively, the 
"Lenders") under the terms of which the Lenders will provide a 
three-year senior secured credit facility to the Company 
consisting of revolving loans in the aggregate amount of up to 
$75 million (the "New Credit Facility").  The loans will bear 
interest at 1.75% over the prime rate and will be secured by a 
first priority perfected security interest in all of the 
Company's assets provided, however, that the Company will have 
the ability to exclude assets acquired through vendor 
financing.  Although the New Credit Facility is scheduled to 
close on or before August 31, 1998, there can be no assurance 
that the transaction with close, or if so, upon terms 
satisfactory to the Company.

The timing and amount of the Company's actual capital 
requirements may be materially affected by many factors, 
including the timing and closing of its financing commitments, 
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 intern have a material adverse effect on the 
Company. 


High Leverage; Possible Inability to Service Indebtedness 

If the proposed New Credit Facility is consummated, the Company 
may become 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 July 10, 1998) 
owed to the Company. The Company intends to pursue this suit 
vigorously. 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 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 July 10, 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 
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.
