3Q09 Expenses

(1)

Despite an incremental $23M

in pension expense and

$7.5M in restructuring, 3Q09

expenses declined $7M

Expense reductions driven by

aggressive expense

management were partially

offset by higher seasonal

expenses

Revenue declined due

primarily to fewer access

lines, usage declines and

lower product sales

Growth in HSI and next

generation data revenues

helped offset a portion of

the revenue declines

Normalized for pension

and restructuring expense,

OIBDA decline was 2.5%

and our OIBDA margin

was ~53.8%

OIBDA of $391M,

excluding Pension and

and rest.
