FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
We claim the protection of the safe-harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995 for this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Forward-looking statements are subject to uncertainties that could cause actual
future events and results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements
include, but are not limited to, statements about our expectation to return a significant portion of our cash flow to shareholders
through our dividend, our expectation to maintain our current dividend practice at the current rate of dividend, expected levels of
support from universal service funds or other government programs, expected rates of loss of voice lines or inter-carrier

expected required contributions to our pension plan, capital expenditures and certain debt maturities from cash flows from

annualized savings from the management restructuring, the amounts expected to be received from the Rural Utilities Service and
the Connect America Fund to fund the deployment of broadband services and the expected benefits of those services and forecasted

assumptions that we believe are reasonable but are not guarantees of future events and results. Actual future events and our results
may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of important factors.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in our forward looking statements include,
among others:
 further adverse changes in economic conditions in the markets served by us;
 the extent, timing and overall effects of competition in the communications business;
