    "This is a critical year for the telecommunications industry and I am
honored that I was re-elected to support our industry's agenda of providing

consumers choice in service."

reach.

Frisby, Jr., CompTel's President.  "Doug is one of the most vocal proponents
of competition and his leadership and vision is an inspiration to all of our
