This Amendment No. 1 has been filed for the purpose of amending the disclosure
in Items 3 and 4 to reflect the closing of the transaction on January 28, 1999
(the "Closing").

         Item 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

         As more fully described in Item 4 below, pursuant to a Stock Purchase
Agreement dated as of October 19, 1998 by and between SBIS and Issuer (the
"Stock Purchase Agreement"), at the Closing, SBIS paid $19,481,297.85 as
consideration for 806,679 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer (the "Common
Stock") and warrants to purchase common stock of the Issuer (the "Warrants")
each described in this Schedule 13D. As permitted by the Stock Purchase
Agreement, SBIS purchased 100,000 shares of Common Stock on the open market
prior to Closing, bringing the total Common Stock owned by SBIS after the
Closing to 906,679 shares. The funds used to purchase the Common Stock and the
Warrants came from working capital funds of SBC. The source of funds, if any,
that SBIS will use to pay the exercise price under the Warrants (as hereinafter
defined) will be determined at the time of such exercise.

         Item 4. PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION.

         The purchase by SBIS of the Common Stock and the issuance by the Issuer
to SBIS of the Warrants was effected in connection with the commencement of a
strategic business relationship between SBIS and certain of its Affiliates, on
the one hand, and the Issuer, on the other hand. "Affiliate" means any person
that directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, has control of
or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the person specified.

         SBIS intends to continue to review its investment in the Issuer on an
ongoing basis and based upon the results of such review, market and general
economic conditions, regulatory approvals and other regulatory conditions and
other factors SBIS deems relevant, may seek to modify its investment in the
Issuer through any available means permitted by the Stock Purchase Agreement and
Warrants including, without limitation, increases or decreases in its investment
through open market purchases or sales or privately negotiated transactions or
actions of the type enumerated in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule
13D. Except as set forth herein, and subject to the foregoing, SBIS has no
current plans or proposals that would result in any of the actions specified in
clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

         A. STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

         Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement dated October 19, 1998, at the
Closing, Issuer sold to SBIS 806,679 shares of Common Stock and 906,679 Warrants
(as described below) in exchange for $19,481,297.85 in cash. SBIS purchased
100,000 shares of Common Stock on the open market prior to Closing.

         The Stock Purchase Agreement provides that shares of Common Stock
purchased pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement or issued upon exercise of
the Warrants, and the Warrants themselves, are not transferable other than (i)
to the Issuer; (ii) to any Affiliate of SBIS; (iii) after the one-year
anniversary of the Closing, in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"); (iv) pursuant to a rights offering,
dividend or other pro rata distribution to the stockholders of SBIS; (v) after
the one-


                               (Page 4 of 7 Pages)
<PAGE>

year anniversary of the Closing, in private placement transactions exempt from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act; or (vi) in response to a
bona fide public tender offer or exchange offer subject to Regulation 14D or
Rule 13e-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
which is made by or on behalf of the Issuer. In the event of a proposed transfer
pursuant to (v) above to certain limited persons and in amounts over certain
volume limitations, SBIS must provide prior written notice of such transfer, and
such transfer shall be subject to the Issuer's right of first refusal, within
five days of receipt of the notice, to purchase all (but not less than all) of
the shares of Common Stock or Warrants specified in the notice at a price equal
to that to be paid by the third party.

         B. WARRANTS

         Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Issuer issued to SBIS
906,679 Warrants to purchase Common Stock. Each Warrant entitles the holder
thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment in certain
circumstances to prevent dilution. The Warrants are exercisable at $21.00 per
share of Common Stock subject to adjustment to account for adjustments made in
the number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased upon exercise of such
Warrants. Warrants may be exercised for cash or, at the option of the holder
thereof, without any cash payment, for that number of shares of Common Stock
that reflects the difference between (i) the current market value of a share of
Common Stock and (ii) the exercise price per share of Common Stock under such
Warrant. The Warrants are subject to the transfer restrictions described above.

         Prior to receipt of certain regulatory relief, the Warrants will be
exercisable by the holder thereof only to the extent that doing so is consistent
with the Communications Act of 1934, as amended by The Telecommunications Act of
1996. Warrants may not be transferred unless registered under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, or an exemption from the registration requirements of such
act applies. The Warrants will expire on the third anniversary of the
consummation of the Stock Purchase Agreement.

         The foregoing descriptions of the documents listed in Item 7 and filed
as exhibits hereto are qualified in their entirety by the complete texts of such
documents.
