Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountants
Effective January 5, 2000, Transtel S.A. (the "Registrant") replaced Price
Waterhouse as independent accountants for the Registrant with Deloitte & Touche
LLP. The Registrant's decision to change accountants was approved by its
shareholders.
The reports of Price Waterhouse on the Registrant's consolidated financial
statements as of December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997 contained no adverse
opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the Registrant's two
most recent fiscal years and through January 5, 2000, there have been no
disagreements with Price Waterhouse on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which
disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of Price Waterhouse would have
caused them to make reference thereto in their report for such years.
The Registrant has provided Price Waterhouse with a copy of the foregoing
disclosures.
