Pathways Group, Inc. (n/k/a Bicoastal 

Communications, Inc.); Order of 

Suspension of Trading

It appears to the Securities and 

Exchange Commission that there is a 

lack of current and accurate information 

concerning the securities of Pathways 

Group, Inc. (n/k/a Bicoastal 

Communications, Inc.) because it has 

not filed any periodic reports since the 

period ended September 30, 2000. 

The Commission is of the opinion that 

the public interest and the protection of 

investors require a suspension of trading 

in the securities of the above-listed 

company. 

Therefore, it is ordered, pursuant to 

Section 12(k) of the Securities Exchange 

Act of 1934, that trading in securities of 

the above-listed company is suspended 

for the period from 9:30 a.m. EST on 

January 12, 2007, through 11:59 p.m. 

EST on January 26, 2007. 

By the Commission.
