**Overview**

***General***

***Revenue      Sources***

| ·   | *Local                services.*                We                receive revenues from providing local exchange telephone services.                These                revenues include monthly subscription charges for basic service,                calling                to adjacent communities on a per minute basis, local private line                services                and enhanced calling features, such as voicemail, caller identification,                call waiting and call forwarding. We also receive revenues for providing                long distance services to our customers. With the high level of acceptance                of local service bundles including unlimited calling, these telephone                services are viewed by our customers as part of their local telephone                service. We also provide billing and collections services for other                carriers under contract and receive revenues from directory advertising                in                our local communities. |

| ·   | *Network                access services.*                We                receive revenues from charges established to compensate us for the                origination, transport and termination of calls of long distance                and other                interexchange carriers. These include subscriber line charges imposed                on                end users and switched and special access charges paid by carriers.                Switched access charges for long distance services within Alabama                and                Missouri are based on rates approved by the Alabama Public Service                Commission and Missouri Public Service Commission respectively. Switched                and special access charges for interstate and international services                are                based on rates approved by the Federal Communications                Commission. |

| ·   | *Cable                television services.*                We                offer basic, digital and pay per view cable television services to                a                portion of our telephone service territory in both Alabama and                Missouri. |
