Item 5. Other Events

The Company recently reached an agreement with Adelphia Business
Solutions (ABS) to amend a November 1999 IRU Agreement between
the parties.  Under the terms of the Amendment, all penalties
accruing to ABS as a result of the Company's failure to deliver
routes by the contractual due dates ceased as of December 31,
2000.  In addition, the Amendment allows ABS to terminate four
additional routes or portions thereof.   However, the Amendment
does not allow further route terminations if DTI delivers all
remaining routes by September 30, 2001.  The route cancellations
will not require the repayment to ABS of any prepayments received
by the Company for those cancelled routes.  Those prepayments
will be credited against amounts owed to the Company when the
remaining routes are accepted by ABS.  ABS will be allowed to
defer all remaining route acceptances until January 2002, along
with the payment of the remaining net approximately $8.5 million
due to DTI.  The amounts payable to DTI upon route delivery will
accrue interest at 11% from the actual dates of delivery of the
routes until their acceptance in January 2002, or their earlier
acceptance at the option of ABS.
