Item 5. Other Events

     On December 14, 1995, a consortium of Ameritech
International, Inc., wholly owned by Ameritech Corporation, Tele
Danmark A/S and Singapore Telecommunications Limited was notified
by the Belgian government that it had been selected as the
strategic partner for Belgacom S.A., the national
telecommunications operator of Belgium.  The consortium bid 73.3
billion Belgian francs, or approximately $2.5 billion, for the
purchase of a 49.9 percent stake in Belgacom. The consortium is
making available to a Belgian financial partner a 5 percent stake
in the consortium. Ameritech's interest in the consortium will be
either 35 percent if another financial partner joins the
consortium or 36.25 percent without such partner. Closing with
the Belgian government is scheduled to occur about April 1, 1996.

     On December 22, 1995, Magyarcom, a company jointly owned by
Ameritech and Deutsche Telekom AG, purchased from the Hungarian
government additional shares of stock in the Hungarian telephone
company, MATAV. MagyarCom increased its investment in MATAV from
about 30 percent to 67 percent thereby strengthening management
and operating control. MagyarCom paid about $850 million for the
additional 37 percent interest with funds provided by Ameritech
and Deutsche Telekom AG.
