  SLC rate increases were declines in rates charged to interexchange carriers for interstate minutes of use. The 2002 
  results reflect a significantly larger increase in network usage, which more than offset the decline in rates. 
  
  Facility lease revenue contributed $5.7 million to wireline revenues, a decrease of $0.8 million or 12.6% from 2001. 
  The decrease was primarily the result of declining lease rates associated with competitive pricing pressure, and the 
  economic downturn in the telecommunications industry. 
  
  Billing and collection services contributed $0.4 million to wireline revenues, which was the same as 2001 results. 
  Revenues from this service had declined in recent years, with interexchange carriers now issuing a greater proportion 
  of their bills directly to their customers. 
  
  Wireline revenues from cable television services were $4.3 million, an increase of $0.5 million or 14.5%. In December 
  2001, the Company increased its basic service charge by $6.00 per month, which produced $0.3 million of the increase 
  in cable television revenue. The remaining $0.2 million was generated by an increased penetration of digital services 
  and increased pay per view sales.
