Dear Investor to Investor readers: I just picked up this information from the IXC COMMUNICATIONS INC (IIXC) Quarterly Report (SEC form 10-Q): Net operating revenue for the third quarter of 1998 increased by 35.4% over the third quarter of 1997 due in part to a $23.6 million increase in private line revenue. The private line increase reflected the impact of the Company's larger network and associated capacity available for lease in 1998. A significant portion of this improvement was from a large capacity contract with one Internet Service Provider ("ISP"). Net operating revenue in the third quarter of 1998 was also affected by a $15.9 million increase in switched long distance revenue due mainly to a 21.9% increase in wholesale billable minutes of use ("MOU"). A major portion of this increase was due to services provided to a debit card provider during the third quarter. The debit card provider has been a customer for switched long distance services for several years and became a significant customer in the third quarter due to the success of its sale of debit cards. In November 1998, the Company resolved certain billing and payment disputes with the customer and such resolution is expected to result in further significant increases in this customer's MOUs. In light of the dramatic increase in MOUs from this customer, the Company agreed (i) to credit certain of the customer's third quarter billings (which amount was adequately reserved at September 30, 1998) primarily to reflect reduced rates for increased volume; (ii) to decrease its current billing rates to reflect the customer's continuing increase in MOUs and (iii) to accept a secured note for approximately $16 million payable at the rate of $250,000 per week for prior services. My comments follow: IXC had a secured note for $16 million from the debit card company and resolved the billing and payment disputes with the company in November 1998. This looks like DCTC is paying for the right to collect 1/4 of a million dollars a week from the secured note, and gets to use the IXC infrastructure in Europe. >From today's news release, "DCI's taking management control of a significant customer of IXC which has defaulted in payments to IXC, and a 5-year commitment by DCI to utilize significant domestic and international telecommunications services from IXC." If this is what it looks like, this is monumental. It looks like DCTC is exchanging $16 million dollars of stock for a weekly cash infusion from the debit card customer, which will allow IXC to write off the transaction, and DCTC will take control of managing the 1/4 million a week. Looks like we have something more here than meets the eye.

Earlier today I posted the following reply to a message of Dorine's: >> Then again, it could have been "Watch My Fingers" himself. ggg. eom. With apologies to Ernie (ggg), I would like to share the threatening missive that I received in return: To: Ken Salaets From: MICHAEL J ZWEBNER Monday, Dec 7 1998 7:43PM ET KEN I DO NOT APPRECIATE YOUR MALICIOUS COMMENTS. I DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH YOU FROM THE PAST, AND SUGGEST YOU KEEP OUR "NON ASSOCIATION" THAT WAY. cERTAIN PERSONS ON THE NET WHO HAVE MALICIOUSLY BOMBARDED ME WITH ATTACKS AND FALSE LIES AND INNUENDOES ARE SHORTLY GOING TO GET THEIR DESERVED RESPONSE. I HAVE FOUGHT FOR SURVIVAL FROM POLIO ALL MY LIFE, AND DO NOT TAKE KINDLY TO BEING FALSELY ACCUSED OF WRONGDOING...FROM ANYONE.. I STAND TALL FOR MY RIGHTS. I SUGGEST YOU KEEP OFF ME, I HAVE DONE NOTHING TO OFFEND YOU OR ANYONE ELSE. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A SCAPEGOAT FOR DCI'S PROBLEMS, GO LOOK ELSEWHERE.! MICHAEL ZWEBNER Dearest Michael, forgive me, but I was not addressing you nor speaking to you, but since you have chosen to grace my account with threats, I now feel free to exercise MY right of free speech. ggg. Guess I'm not too surprised that you monitor this thread, or perhaps others do it for you? From my perspective, you DID offend me, my family, my friends, and every other shareholder of DCI, by your SI posts earlier this year. In my opinion, when someone attempts to harm my investment of my hard earned dollars, that borders on malicious mischief. I did nothing to deserve to be treated that way. Well, okay, maybe I did deserve to be victimized, in that I accepted at face value pronouncements of mutual support and kinship. Watch my fingers indeed! We have a saying in the U.S.: if the shoe fits, wear it. Sincerely, Ken P.S. I am not looking for a scapegoat for DCI. Only those who fail need search elsewhere for a place to lay blame. Joe Murphy has never let me down.
