text: Facility lease revenue contributed $5.5 million to wireline revenues, a decrease of $0.2 million or 3.5%. The decrease 
  was primarily the result of the prolonged decline of lease rates associated with competitive pricing pressures and the 
  economic downturn in the telecommunications industry. During 2002 the Company completed a second, diverse fiber 
  route to its existing interconnection point in the Dulles airport area of Northern Virginia. This fiber route provides 
  increased reliability for customers in the event of fiber cuts or breaks, and extends the availability of the Company’s 
  fiber network to additional market locations but to date has not added additional revenue to the Company’s operation. 
  
  Billing and collection services and other revenues contributed $0.4 million to wireline revenues, which was the same as 
  2002 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 $4.4 million, an increase of $0.1 million or 1.7%. The number 
  of subscribers and service plan prices remained relatively constant during 2003. 
  
  Other revenues, primarily consisting of Internet and 511Virginia service revenues were $5.8 million in 2003, an 
  increase of $0.7 million or 13.5%. The Company had 17,420 dial-up Internet subscribers at December 31, 2003, 
  compared to 18,050 at the end of the previous year. During 2003, the Company’s DSL high-speed Internet access 
  subscriber count increased to 1,298 from 646. Total Internet service revenue was $4.5 million, an increase of $0.3 
  million or 10.7%. The 511Virginia contract with the Virginia Department of Transportation contributed $1.3 million to 
  other revenues, an increase of $0.4 million or 41.3%. Telecommunications equipment sales, services and lease 
  revenues were $1.1 million, which reflects a $0.1 million decrease from 2002 results.
