ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that the
Company will to the fullest extent permitted by the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "GCL"), as amended from
time to time, indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify pursuant
thereto. The Company's By-laws contain a similar provision requiring
indemnification of the Company's directors and officers to the fullest
extent authorized by the GCL. The GCL permits a corporation to
indemnify its directors and officers (among others) against expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with
any action, suit or proceeding brought (or threatened to be brought)
by third parties, if such directors or officers acted in good faith
and in a manner they reasonably believe to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct
was unlawful. In a derivative action, i.e., one by or in the right of
the Company, indemnification may be made for expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by directors and
officers in connection with the defense or settlement of such action
if they had acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company,
except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim,
issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged
liable to the Company unless and only to the extent that the Court of
Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall
determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability
but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses. The GCL
further provides that, to the extent any director or officer has been
successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit
or proceeding referred to in this paragraph, or in defense of any
claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified
against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection therewith. In addition, the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation contains a provision limiting the
personal liability of the Company's directors for monetary damages for
certain breaches of their fiduciary duty. The Company has
indemnification insurance under which directors and officers are
insured against certain liability that may incur in their capacity as
such.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made of the securities registered hereby, a post-effective amendment
of this Registration Statement:

     (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act");

     (ii) To reflect in the Prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most
recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
in the Registration Statement; and

     (iii) To include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration
Statement or any material change to such information in the
Registration Statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if
the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment
by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the
Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), that are
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

(2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to
be a new Registration Statement relating to the Common Stock offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)  To remove from the registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold
at the termination of the Offering.

(4)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant
to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new
Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.


<PAGE>


(5)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item
15 (other than the provisions relating to insurance), or otherwise,
the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities
and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy
expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid
by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question
whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

               Re:  ICG Communications, Inc.; 
                    Registration Statement on Form S-3
                    ----------------------------------

          Ladies and Gentlemen:

                    We have acted as counsel to ICG Communications, Inc., a
          Delaware corporation (the "Registrant"), in connection with the
          preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange
          Commission (the "Commission") of the above-captioned Registration
          Statement on Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement") under the
          Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), relating to the
          resale by the holders named therein (the "Selling Shareholders")
          of up to an aggregate of 687,221 shares of common stock, $.01 par
          value per share, of the Registrant (the "Shares"). 

                    In connection therewith, we have examined the
          Certificate of Incorporation and the By-Laws of the Registrant,
          resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Registrant and the
          Registration Statement.  We also have made such inquiries and
          have examined originals or copies of other instruments as we have
          deemed necessary or appropriate for the purpose of this opinion. 
          For purposes of such examination, we have assumed the genuineness
          of all signatures on and the authenticity of all documents
          submitted to us as originals, and the conformity to the originals
          of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic
          copies.  

                    Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that
          the Shares are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
          non-assessable shares of common stock of the Registrant.

                    We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as
          Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement and to the reference
          therein to our firm under the caption "Legal Matters."  In giving
          the foregoing consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the
          category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of
          the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission
          promulgated thereunder.

                                        Very truly yours,

                                        /s/ Reid & Priest LLP
