<P>On 10/19/98, President Clinton signed into law the &quot;Year
2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure Act.&quot; This Act
provides limited liability and evidentiary admissibility protections
for Year 2000 statements which are designated as &quot;Year 2000
Readiness Disclosure.&quot; Pursuant to the Act, following is
a transmittal of the Iowa Communications Network (ICN) statement
addressing Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure.</P>
<P>Excellent progress is being made on the conversion. Below
are the major components of the ICN&#146;s Year 2000 Compliance
Project:</P>
<UL>
<LI>The DMS 500 Digital Switch has undergone a series of two
software upgrades completed January 27, 1999, bringing the device
into compliance with the Year 2000.
<LI>The ROLM PBX switches, owned and operated by the ICN, have
already been upgraded.
<LI>The IowaHub (enterprise messaging hardware and software)
was upgraded during October 1998, and Year 2000 verification
testing has been successfully completed.
<LI>Video Operation and Scheduling Software from Grass Valley
has been replaced with Year 2000 compliant software. The software
platform went operational on November 28, 1998, and the new Year
2000 compliant software was tested and accepted.
<LI>NORTEL network transport equipment has been surveyed by NORTEL
and all necessary changes are in process.
<LI>ICN has received network element compliance statements from
vendors on all elements not detailed above confirming compliance
with the Year 2000.
<LI>The circuit management and fault management software platforms
for the network are being upgraded in the next few months as
well.
</UL>
<P>As the upgrade of each network element is completed, the equipment
and software dates are rolled forward to Year 2000, tested for
compliance, then rolled back for ongoing operations. </P>
<P>A final network roll forward is planned for early October
1999 to verify that everything is functioning properly. </P>
