Revenue

Voice local service revenue includes local service, value added services, switched access and information services. Voice revenue decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2009 versus the same period in 2008 primarily as a result of a 7% decrease in access lines. Access lines within the segment’s ILEC territory decreased by 63,900 or 8%, from 756,200 at March 31, 2008 to 692,300 at March 31, 2009. The access line loss resulted from several factors including customers electing to use wireless communication in lieu of the traditional local service, Company-initiated disconnections of customers with credit problems, and customers electing to use service from other providers. The Company has partially offset its access line loss in its ILEC territory by continuing to target voice services to residential and business customers in its CLEC territory. The Company had approximately 73,000 CLEC access lines at March 31, 2009, which is a 13% increase from March 31, 2008.

Data revenue consists of data transport, high-speed internet access (“DSL”), dial-up internet access, digital trunking, and local area network interconnection services. Data revenue increased $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the same period a year ago, primarily due to increased data transport usage by third party users.

Long distance and VoIP revenue decreased slightly for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease was due to lower minutes of use for long-distance and audio conferencing which caused a $2.6 million decrease in revenue. The decrease in long distance lines was due to a 5% decline in residential lines partially offset by a 1% increase in business subscribers. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in revenue from VoIP and broadband services and from the acquisition of eGIX Inc. in February 2008.

Revenue

Service revenue decreased by $0.8 million in the first quarter of 2009 as compared to last year primarily due to the following:

 

   

Postpaid service revenue increased $0.3 million due to an increase in ARPU partially offset by a decrease in subscribers. The increase in average churn is due to increased competition and Company-initiated disconnections of customers with credit problems. ARPU increased from $47.47 for the three months ending March 31, 2008 to $48.01 for the same period in 2009. The ARPU increase includes a 26% increase in data ARPU; and

 

   

Prepaid service revenue decreased $1.1 million compared to the same period last year primarily due to a decrease in subscribers partially offset by an increase in ARPU of $1.50. The decrease in the number of subscribers is due to increased competition and the Company focusing its marketing on higher usage rate plans. The change in marketing strategy resulted in fewer subscribers, but a higher ARPU.

Equipment revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2009 decreased $1.4 million compared to last year primarily due to lower handset revenue per unit to attract new customers and retain existing customers.

Revenue

Revenue from telecom and IT equipment distribution represents the sale, installation and maintenance of major, branded IT and telephony equipment. Revenue decreased by $18.6 million in the first quarter of 2009, as compared to the same period a year ago, primarily due to lower telephony and IT equipment sales related to the decline in the economy.

Data center and managed services revenue consists of recurring collocation rents from customers residing in the Company’s data centers, managed VoIP solutions, and IT services that include network management, electronic data storage, disaster recovery, and data security management. Revenue increased $5.2 million for the first quarter of 2009, as compared to the same period a year ago, primarily due to increased product penetration within managed services and increased billable data center space.

Professional services revenue consists of long-term and short-term IT outsourcing and consulting engagements. Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2009 increased by $1.8 million compared to the same period in 2008. The Company has expanded its team of recruiting and hiring personnel in order to focus on selling these outsourcing and consulting engagements.

Revenue

Voice local service revenue includes local service, value added services, switched access, and information services. Voice revenue decreased in 2008 compared to 2007 primarily as a result of a 7% decrease in access lines. Access lines within the segment’s ILEC territory decreased by 63,500, or 8%, from 772,000 at December 31, 2007 to 708,500 at December 31, 2008. The Company believes the access line loss resulted from several factors including customers electing to use wireless communication in lieu of the traditional local service, Company-initiated disconnections of customers with credit problems, and customers electing to use service from other providers. The Company has partially offset its access line loss in its ILEC territory by continuing to target voice services to residential and business customers in its CLEC territory. The Company had approximately 71,200 CLEC access lines at December 31, 2008, which is a 14% increase from December 31, 2007.

Data revenue consists of data transport, high-speed internet access (“DSL”), dial-up internet access, digital trunking, and Local Area Network (“LAN”) interconnection services. Data revenue increased $14.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to the same period a year ago. The increase primarily resulted from higher data transport revenue and DSL revenue. Data transport revenues increased by $10.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to the same period a year ago primarily due to increased usage by third party users. Data revenue also increased by an additional $5.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to the prior year period primarily due to an increase in DSL subscribers of 11,700, bringing total DSL subscribers to 233,200 at December 31, 2008.

Long distance and VoIP revenue increased $19.0 million in 2008 compared to 2007. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of eGIX, which generated revenue of $13.0 million during 2008. The remaining increase was primarily due to an increase in minutes of use for long distance, VoIP and new broadband services including private line and MPLS. The Company had 531,600 subscribed long distance access lines as of December 31, 2008 compared to 548,300 as of December 31, 2007. The decrease in subscribers was due to a 6% decline in residential lines, consistent with the access line loss, partially offset by a 3% increase in business subscribers.

Other revenue decreased $8.7 million from 2007 due to lower revenue on customer premise wiring projects, $9.5 million of which came from a large one-time business customer project in 2007.

Revenue

Voice revenue decreased in 2007 compared to 2006 primarily as a result of a 6% decrease in access lines. Access lines within the segment’s ILEC territory decreased by 64,700, or 8%, from 836,700 at December 31, 2006 to 772,000 at December 31, 2007. The Company believes the access line loss resulted from several factors including customers electing to use wireless communication in lieu of the traditional local service, Company-initiated disconnections of customers with credit problems, and customers electing to use service from other providers. The Company has partially offset its access line loss in its ILEC territory by continuing to target voice services to residential and business customers in its CLEC territory. The Company had approximately 62,300 CLEC access lines at December 31, 2007, which is a 24% increase from December 31, 2006.

The increase in data revenue of $20.4 million in 2007 compared to 2006 is mainly due to higher DSL and data transport revenue. An increase in DSL subscribers contributed an additional $12.5 million of revenue in 2007 versus 2006. The number of DSL subscribers increased by 23,200 subscribers during 2007 to bring total subscribers to 221,500. Data transport revenues increased by $7.7 million for 2007 compared to 2006, primarily due to increased usage by CBW and third party users.

Long distance revenue increased $7.5 million in 2007 compared to 2006. The increase was primarily due to higher minutes of use for both long distance and audio conferencing, as well as increased revenue from the Company’s VoIP product, which the Company began offering in mid-2006. The Company had approximately 548,300 subscribed long distance access lines as of December 31, 2007 compared to 552,300 as of December 31, 2006. The decrease in subscribers was due to a 5% decline in residential lines, consistent with the access line loss, partially offset by a 10% increase in business subscribers.

Other revenue increased $14.9 million from 2006 due to increased revenue on customer premise wiring projects, $9.5 million of which came from a large one-time business customer project, and cable TV revenue due to the purchase of a local telecommunications business.

Revenue

Service revenue increased by $23.0 million during 2008 as compared to last year primarily due to the following:

 

   

Postpaid service revenue increased $20.3 million due to an increase in average subscribers and ARPU. Postpaid subscribers increased from 400,400 subscribers at December 31, 2007 to 403,700 at December 31, 2008. The average monthly churn increased to 2.1% for 2008 compared to 1.6% for 2007. The increase in churn is due to increased competition and Company-initiated disconnections of customers with credit problems. ARPU increased from $46.55 in 2007 to $48.69 in 2008. The ARPU increase includes a 29% increase in data ARPU; and

 

   

Prepaid service revenue increased $2.7 million compared to 2007 primarily due to an increase in ARPU of $2.59 partially offset by a lower number of subscribers. The number of prepaid subscribers at December 31, 2008 was 146,900, down from 170,600 prepaid subscribers at December 31, 2007. The Company has focused its marketing on higher usage rate plans, which has driven higher ARPU but led to the decrease in the number of prepaid subscribers.

The year-over-year postpaid subscriber growth is due to the introduction of more attractive rate plans and continuing network quality improvements; and

 

   

Prepaid service revenue increased $5.3 million compared to 2006 primarily due to the increase in ARPU of $3.26. The increase in ARPU was partially driven by a 33% increase in data revenue. As of December 31, 2007, prepaid subscribers totaled approximately 170,600 compared to 162,300 subscribers at December 31, 2006. The Company lost subscribers in the summer of 2006 due to increased competition, but has regained subscribers as well as increased ARPU with the introduction of more attractive rate plans.

Equipment revenue for 2007 increased $0.7 million as compared to 2006 primarily due to revenue increases per handset sale.

Equipment revenue for 2008
decreased slightly from $27.0 million in 2007 to $25.6 million in 2008 primarily due to lower handset revenue per unit and lower prepaid subscriber activations.

SIZE="2">Costs and Expenses

Cost of services and products consists largely of network operation costs, interconnection expenses with
other telecommunications providers, roaming expense (which is incurred for subscribers to use their handsets in the territories of other wireless service providers), and cost of handsets and accessories sold. These expenses increased $10.5 million
during 2008 versus the prior year period. The increase was primarily attributable to a $9.7 million increase in network costs due to increased usage per subscriber and a $1.9 million increase in handset and subsidy costs, primarily due to Company
initiatives to attract new customers and to retain existing customers. These increases were partially offset by lower operating taxes.
