ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS TARGETS COMPANY RESOURCES
ST. LOUIS (November 9, 1998) - The Board of Directors of Advanced
Communications (NYSE: ADG) today announced actions that will enable
the company to more profitably utilize its resources as it moves
toward becoming a facilities based CLEC. These actions are intended
to leverage the considerable assets molded together during the
company's February 1998 initial public offering (IPO) to drive more
profitable growth and create additional value for its shareowners.
Richard O'Neal, the chief operating officer of the company's largest
and most profitable operating group, has been appointed acting chief
executive officer. James F. Cragg, who has propelled the company's
access lines in service to over 100,000 since its IPO, has been
appointed acting president and chief operating officer. As an
outside director, Richard P. Anthony will remain chairman and
concentrate on long range planning and local network installation.
Mr. O'Neal has been a director of the company and president of its
directory services group since the company's IPO. Previously Mr.
O'Neal founded Great Western Directories, Inc., one of the nation's
largest independent publishers of yellow pages, which was acquired by
Advanced Communications simultaneously with its IPO. The directory
services operations will continue to report to O'Neal. James F.
Cragg has served as executive vice president, sales and marketing and
a director of the company since December 1997. As acting president
and chief operating officer, Mr. Cragg has responsibility for the
entire telecommunications operations and reports to O'Neal.
Additionally, Mr. Rod Cutsinger, founder of the company, rejoins the
board increasing the number of directors to twelve. Mr. Cutsinger
also joins Robert Benton, Marvin Moses and Richard O'Neal on the
board's executive committee of which Mr. O'Neal is chairman.
