Commentary

Consolidated revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was $359.4 million, a 2% increase over both the prior quarter and the same period in 2006. The increase in revenue was driven primarily by growth revenue from the Company's in Data and IP Services, which increased 12% from the prior quarter and 27% from the same period in 2006. The Company continued strong growth in its collocation, commercial VoIP, dedicated Internet access, Ethernet, IP-VPN and high-capacity private line network services. This growth was partially offset by declines in both Traditional Voice Services and Integrated Voice and Data Services. Revenue from these services continued to be adversely impacted by the Company's shift away from traditional circuit- switched voice services, instead focusing on next-generation IP-based services. Carrier VoIP revenue decreased due to recent challenges experienced by some customers in this category. The Company's consolidated revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2007 also benefited from certain carrier private line settlements in the third quarter of 2007.

The improvement in net loss benefited from, among other things, $21.5 million received related to the beneficial settlement of a legal matter regarding the Company's holding of Global Crossing debt securities.
