Item 5. Other Events.

      On November 6, 1998, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger, dated as of November 6, 1998 (the "Merger Agreement"), with BAP
Acquisition Corporation ("BAP"), pursuant to which a newly created wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company will merge with and into BAP (the "Merger"). Pursuant
to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each share of common stock of BAP will be
converted into the right to receive 88.92076 shares of common stock of the
Company, subject to certain adjustments. Following the Merger, the current
stockholders of BAP will own approximately 58.5% of the then outstanding shares
of the Company's common stock and BAP will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company.

      To date, BAP has conducted no operations other than in connection with an
Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 2, 1998, to purchase substantially
all of the assets of the paging business of Bell Atlantic (the "Bell Atlantic
Acquisition"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company will transfer all
or substantially all of its assets to BAP immediately following the Merger.

      The consummation of the Merger is subject to certain closing conditions,
including but not limited to: (i) approval by the Company's stockholders of the
Merger and related transactions, (ii) obtaining all requisite approvals and
consents, including consents from the FCC and other regulatory bodies and (iii)
the consummation of the Bell Atlantic Acquisition. The Company anticipates
consummating the Merger during the first quarter of fiscal 1999.
