   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                    AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


OPERATING RESULTS

Net  income  decreased 19% or $3.9 million for the  three  months
ended  March 31, 1994 compared to the same period in  1993.   The
decrease  is  primarily the result of higher  operating  expenses
partially offset by higher revenues.

Operating Revenues

Operating  revenues increased 5% or $8.2 million  for  the  three
months ended March 31, 1994 compared to the same period in 1993.

Local  network service revenues increased 4% or $2.1 million  for
the  first quarter of 1994 compared to the same period  in  1993.
The  increase reflects continued customer growth as reflected  by
an increase in access lines.

Network access service revenue increased 25% or $6.3 million  for
the  first quarter of 1994 compared to the same period  in  1993.
The increase is primarily due to higher carrier common line rates
and a favorable pooling settlement.

Long distance service revenues increased 10% or $2.6 million  for
the  first quarter of 1994 compared to the same period  in  1993.
The  increase  is primarily attributable to increased  usage  and
higher international revenues.

Equipment  sales  and  services revenues decreased  14%  or  $2.9
million for the first quarter of 1994 compared to the same period
in  1993.   The  decrease is primarily due to lower revenue  from
sales  of  large  private  branch  exchanges  and  key  telephone
systems.

Operating Expenses

Operating  expenses increased 12% or $13.4 million for the  first
quarter  of  1994  compared  to the same  period  in  1993.   The
increase  is  primarily due to higher software costs  and  higher
depreciation resulting from increased plant investments.

Other Expenses

Interest  expense  increased 15% or $1.1 million  for  the  first
quarter  of  1994  compared  to the same  period  in  1993.   The
increase is primarily due to higher average debt levels.

   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
              AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


Income tax decreased 26% or $3.6 million for the first quarter of
1994  compared  to  the  same period in 1993.   The  decrease  is
primarily due to lower pretax income.


CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

The Company's primary source of funds during the first quarter of
1994  was  cash  flow from operating activities  of  $20  million
compared  to  $36  million  for the same  period  in  1993.   The
decrease  primarily reflects lower revenues  due  to  the  timing
differences in the payment of accounts payable.

Capital  expenditures represent the largest use of  funds  during
the  first  quarter  of 1994 reflecting the  Company's  continued
growth  in access lines, modernization of current facilities  and
introduction of new products and services.  The Company's capital
expenditures the first quarter of 1994 were $50 million  compared
to  $35  million during the same period in 1993.   The  Company's
anticipated  construction costs for 1994 are  approximately  $170
million.

Cash  provided from financing activities was $19 million for  the
first  quarter  of  1994  compared to  cash  used  for  financing
activities  of  $2  million for the same  period  in  1993.   The
Company  increased short-term borrowings by $23 million primarily
to fund capital additions.  External financing included long-term
borrowings  of $123 million in the first quarter  of  1993.   The
proceeds were used to retire short-term debt.

During   the   first   quarter  of  1994,   the   Company   began
implementation of its re-engineering plan.  This plan will  allow
the  Company  to continue to respond aggressively to  competitive
and  regulatory  developments  through  reduced  costs,  improved
service  quality,  competitive prices and new product  offerings.
Moreover,  implementation of this program  over  the  next  three
years will position the Company to accelerate delivery of a  full
array of voice, video and data services.

Management  believes that the Company has adequate  internal  and
external   resources   available  to   meet   ongoing   operating
requirements  for  construction of new  plant,  modernization  of
facilities and payment of dividends.  The Company generally funds
its   construction  program  from  operations  although  external
financing  is available.  Short-term borrowings can  be  obtained
through  commercial paper borrowings or borrowings from GTE.   In
addition,  a  $3.9  billion line of credit is  available  to  the
Company  through  shared  lines of  credit  with  GTE  and  other
affiliates to support short-term financing needs.

or  omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  However,  in
the   opinion  of  management  of  the  Company,  the   condensed
consolidated financial statements include all adjustments,  which
consist  only of normal recurring accruals, necessary to  present
fairly  the  financial  information  for  such  periods.    These
condensed  consolidated financial statements should  be  read  in
conjunction  with the financial statements and the notes  thereto
included  in  the  Company's 1993 Annual  Report  to  Shareholder
incorporated by reference in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(2)   On  May 11, 1993, the Company filed a general rate increase
application  with  the  Public Utilities  Commission,  requesting
approval to increase intrastate revenues by $50.4 million.   This
represents a 15.9% increase over intrastate revenues for 1993  at
current  rates,  and is the first rate increase  application  the
Company  has  filed since 1985.  The Company's  rate  restructure
proposal and earnings review investigation were incorporated into
a rate case docket.  Hearings took place in March and April 1994.
A final decision is expected in late 1994.

(3)   Reclassifications of prior year data have been made in  the
financial  statements where appropriate to conform  to  the  1994
presentation.
