            Re:     Broadwing/Focal Internal Corporate Restructuring

   Dear Ms. Mukhoty:

            Per our conversation, this letter providesinformation regarding the internal corporate
  restructuring that took place between Broadwing Communications, LLC ("Broadwing") (FRN:
   0008599706) and Focal Communications Corporation ("Focal") (FRN: 0003772365).

            Broadwing is a wholly—owned subsidiary of Broadwing Communications Corporation
   ("BCC"), which was formerly known as Corvis Corporation. Focal was a holding company for
  many operating subsidiaries that were authorized to provide local, domestic long distance, and
  domestic international services." With respect to international services, a wholly—owned indirect
   subsidiary of Focal, Focal Telecommunications Corporation ("Focal Telecormmunications")
   (FRN: 0010712909), was authorized to provide resold and facilities—based international services.
  Focal Telecommunications was a wholly—ownedsubsidiary of Focal Financial Services, Inc.,
  which in turn was a wholly—owned direct subsidiary of Focal. More information regarding the
  organizational structure of Broadwing and Focal can be found in the attached organizational
  charts.

          On April 23, 2004, the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") approved the
  transfer of control of the international 214 license held by Focal Telecommunications to BCC
  (File No. ITC—T/C—20040317—00121). After the close of that transaction, Focal, and its wholly—
  owned indirect subsidiary Focal Telecommunications, became wholly—owned subsidiaries of


  i        Focal‘s domestic operating companies were: Focal Telecommunications Corporation, Focal
  Communications Corporation of California, Focal Communications Corporation of Connecticut, Focal
  Communications Corporation of Florida, Focal Communications Corporation of Georgia, Focal Communications
  Corporation of Illinois, Focal Communications Corporation of Massachusetts, Focal Communications Corporation
  of Michigan, Focal Communications Corporation of the Mid—Atlantic, Focal Communications Corporation of
  Minnesota, Focal Communications Corporation of New Jersey, Focal Communications Corporation of New York,
  Focal Communications Corporation of Ohio, Focal Communications Corporation of Pennsylvania, Focal
  Communications Corporation of Texas, Focal Communications Corporation of Virginia, and Focal Communications
  Corporation of Washington.

BCC, with separate international 214 authorizations held by Broadwing*‘ and Focal
Telecommunications.

      Beginning in April 2005, Broadwing undertook an internal corporate restructuring
whereby the operating authority, customers, and assets of each of the Focal operating entities
indicated in footnote one (1) would be transferred to Broadwing. This transaction was pro forma
anddid not result in any change in the actual controlling party of the operating entities holding
FCC licenses. The transaction occurred in a piecemeal fashion, with the customers and assets of
each operating entity being transferred to Broadwing at varying times. All aspects of the
transaction were completed by August 30, 2005."" As a result of the transaction, all of Focal‘s
former operating entities now offer services under the Broadwing name, and all of the Focal
operating entities listed in footnote one (1) were dissolved via corporate action.

         Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need any additional information.

                                                               Respectfully submitted,
