ITEM 5.   OTHER EVENTS

      DTI Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") has previously disclosed
that  KLT Telecom Inc. ("KLTT"), which owns more than 80% of  the
Company's common stock, has made the following loans:

          (1)  KLTT made a demand loan (the "Demand Loan") to the
     Company  of  $94 million at an annual interest rate  of  10%
     that  is  secured,  to  the  extent  permitted  by  law   or
     agreement,  by a pledge of all of the outstanding  stock  of
     Digital   Teleport,  Inc.  (the  "Subsidiary")  and  Digital
     Teleport of Virginia, Inc., which loan was made in order  to
     complete  the  Company's February 1, 2001 purchase  of  50.4
     percent of the Company's Senior Discount Notes pursuant to a
     tender offer.

           (2)   Pursuant  to  a Credit Agreement,  dated  as  of
     February  21,  2001,  between the Subsidiary  and  KLTT,  as
     amended,  KLTT loaned the Subsidiary a total of $39 million,
     through June 30, 2001, at 9.5% interest that is secured,  to
     the  extent  permitted by law or agreement, by  all  of  the
     Subsidiary's assets.

           (3)  On July 26, 2001, KLTT made an additional loan to
     the  Subsidiary  of  $5.5 million that is  secured,  to  the
     extent  permitted  by  law  or  agreement,  by  all  of  the
     Subsidiary's equipment.

      KLTT  has  provided  an additional  loan  facility  to  the
Subsidiary  on  September 25, 2001, of  up  to  $5  million  (the
"September Loan") that is secured, to the extent permitted by law
or  agreement,  by  all  of the Subsidiary's  personal  property.
Future  advances  under the September Loan  are  subject  to  the
Subsidiary  satisfying specified conditions  relating  to,  among
other  things,  the  Subsidiary's  revenue,  EBITDA  and  capital
expenditures.  No assurance can be given that the Subsidiary will
be  able  to satisfy the conditions to future advances under  the
September Loan.

      The  Company  likely  is dependent  upon  KLTT's  continued
funding of the Subsidiary to enable the Subsidiary to operate and
execute its refocused business plan.  The Subsidiary continues to
evaluate  means to enhance its business by focusing primarily  on
connectivity  in secondary and tertiary markets in  a  five-state
region and by utilizing the significant metropolitan fiber assets
that  it  has  in its current regional network to  provide  metro
access  services,  including  high  bandwidth  services  over  an
Ethernet  based  network targeted at enterprise customers  (i.e.,
Gigabit  Ethernet  services).   The  Company  also  continues  to
actively  explore its strategic alternatives, which  alternatives
include a merger, sale of assets, pre-packaged bankruptcy and all
other types of recapitalization.
