Press Release Copy
June 8, 1999
Robert J. Wussler, Chairman of the Board of U.S. Digital Communications, Inc.
(NASDAQ BB: USDI), announced today that the company's principal operating
subsidiary, International Satellite Group, Inc., is curtailing operations.
Effective immediately, the company is seeking to negotiate the assignment of its
customer contracts to other providers of satellite telephone service in order to
continue to provide its existing customer base with uninterrupted service.
"Due to the well-documented shortcomings of the IridiumTM (NASDAQ: IRID)
satellite telephone platform, and the corresponding inability of the
International Satellite Group's sales force to sell Iridium products and
services in any meaningful amounts, we are forced to lay off our employees and
wind down operations," said Mr. Wussler.
"Our commitment to the viability of satellite telephone networks remains
constant, and we continue to believe that significant numbers of customers exist
for this technology," added Mr. Wussler.
In addition, Directors Irving Goldstein and Thomas Wheeler have tendered their
resignations.
