substitutions;
· The effects of greater than anticipated competition requiring new pricing, marketing strategies or new
product offerings and the risk that we will not respond on a timely or profitable basis;
· The effects of changes in both general and local economic conditions on the markets we serve, which
can impact demand for our products and services, customer purchasing decisions, collectability of
revenue and required levels of capital expenditures related to new construction of residences and

· Our ability to effectively manage service quality;
· Our ability to successfully introduce new product offerings, including our ability to offer bundled
service packages on terms that are both profitable to us and attractive to our customers;

services, switched access services and subsidies;
· Changes in accounting policies or practices adopted voluntarily or as required by generally accepted
accounting principles or regulators;

and state legislation and regulation, including potential changes in state rate of return limitations on

requirements;

service offerings, including the lack of assurance that our ongoing network improvements will be
sufficient to meet or exceed the capabilities and quality of competing networks;
· The effects of increased medical, retiree and pension expenses and related funding requirements;
· Changes in income tax rates, tax laws, regulations or rulings, and/or federal or state tax assessments;
· Further declines in the value of our pension plan assets, which could require us to make contributions
to the pension plan beginning in 2010;
· The effects of state regulatory cash management policies on our ability to transfer cash among our
subsidiaries and to the parent company;
· Our ability to successfully renegotiate union contracts expiring in 2009 and thereafter;

taxes (which will increase in 2009) and our liquidity;

· The effects of any unfavorable outcome with respect to any of our current or future legal,
governmental or regulatory proceedings, audits or disputes;
· The possible impact of adverse changes in political or other external factors over which we have no
control; and
