SUMMARY
This summary highlights information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying
prospectus.
Our Company
We are the largest communications company providing services predominantly to rural areas and small and medium-sized towns and cities in
the U.S. We generated revenues of approximately $5.0 bil ion for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. We operate in 27 states with
approximately 3.2 mil ion customers, 1.8 mil ion broadband subscribers and 0.3 mil ion video subscribers as of December 31, 2012.
Incorporated in November 1935, we are the fourth largest incumbent local exchange carrier in the United States. Our business is with both
business and residential customers and we provide the "last mile" of telecommunications services to customers in these markets.
We offer a broad portfolio of high-quality communications services for business and residential customers in each of our markets. These
include services traditional y associated with local telephone companies, as wel as other services such as long distance, Internet access,
broadband-enabled services and video services. We offer these services both á la carte and, increasingly, as bundled packages which are
purposely designed to simplify customer purchasing decisions and to provide the customer with pricing discounts. We also offer incentives and
promotions to influence customers to purchase or retain certain services. We also enhance customer retention by offering one-, two- and
three-year price protection plans under which customers commit to a term in exchange for predictable pricing or other incentives and promotions.
We are staffed local y with skil ed technicians and supervisory personnel, which enables us to provide efficiently and reliably an array of
communications services to meet our customers' needs. Our cal center operations and field technicians are staffed with 100% U.S.-based
personnel.
Our mission is to be the leader in providing communications services to residential and business customers in our markets. We are
committed to delivering innovative and reliable products and solutions with an emphasis on convenience, service and customer satisfaction. We
believe that our local management structure, 100% U.S.-based customer service and innovative product positioning wil continue to differentiate us
from our competitors in the markets in which we compete.

repurchase, repayment or redemption of our outstanding debt or otherwise for general corporate purposes. Repurchases may, in our sole
discretion, be made in open market or privately negotiated transactions, through one or more additional tender or exchange offers, pursuant to
redemption terms applicable to our debt, or otherwise.
