 Pursuant to the  requirements  of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, the

EXHIBIT 10.3 UNITED STATED SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION  Washington,  D.C.
20549 Division of Corporation Finance October 11, 1994 3-13 Mr. Stuart E. Bender
Weber,   Lipshie  &  Co.  101  Eisenhower  Parkway  Roseland,   N.J.  10068  Re:
Technologies  Cellular,  Inc.  Anticipated  Registration  on Form  S-B  Dear Mr.
Bender:  Your letter of September  22, 1994,  which was  supplemented  by letter
dated October 5, 1994,  describes the financial  statements  which  Technologies
Cellular,  Inc., presently a subsidiary of Shared Technologies Inc., proposes to
include in its initial registration  statement on Form SB-2. In lieu of complete
audited  financial  statements  of Road  and Show  Cellular,  East  ("East"),  a
significant  business effectively acquired by the company on September 30, 1993,
the company proposes to include an audited  statements of net assets acquired as
of September 30, 1993,  and  statements of revenues and direct  expenses for the
year and nine months ended on that date. In the circumstances  described in your
letter,  the  staff  will  accept  the  proposed  financial  statements  East as
substantially  complying with the  requirements  of the Form. The company should
note,  however,  that a statement of revenues and direct expenses should include
all expenses which are directly related to the acquired business.  Such expenses
may include,  among other  things,  the costs of  advertising,  printing,  rent,
telephone,  utilities,  security,  training,  and legal fees which were incurred
specifically  for the benefit of the  acquired  business  or which are  directly
connected  with its  operations.  A statement  of revenues  and direct  expenses
excludes those costs incurred by an enterprise  that benefit,  at least in part,
businesses other than the acquired business,  such as general and administrative
expenses.  Your letter of October 5 indicates  that your firm may not be able to
opine that the financial statements of East prepared by the company's management
are complete with respect to the direct expenses of the acquired  business.  The
staff  would not  accept a  qualified  opinion in that  regard.  If you have any
questions concerning this letter,  please call the undersigned at (202)942-2850.
Sincerely, that regard. If you have any questions concerning this letter, please
call the  undersigned  at  (202)942-2850.  Sincerely, 
/s/ Robert A.  Bayless  Chief
Accountant Robert A. Bayless Chief Accountant
