Dear Ms. Dortch:

       By this letter, CapRock Communications Corp. ("CCC" or "Transferor‘)
responds to a request from Commission staff to update its ownership information in order
to reflect recent consummation of a transaction involving its parent company,
McLeodUSA Incorporated (Debtor—in—Possession) ("McLeodUSA").              As noted in
footnote 1 of the Description of Transaction exhibits of the above—referenced FCC Form
603 and FCC Form 312 transfer of control applications, on February 21 and 22, 2002,
IWL Communications, Inc. and Spacelink Systems, Inc. (collectively, "IWL") filed FCC
applications for a voluntary transfer of control from their ultimate corporate parent,
McLeodUSA, to Forstmann Little & Co. Equity Partnership—VII, L.P. and its affiliates
(collectively "Forstmann") in order to complete a Plan of Reorganization that would
enable McLeodUSA to emerge from bankruptcy ("TWL—Forstmann Applications").‘ The
above—referenced applications were filed on March 13, 2002 and both sets of applications
were concurrently pending. On approximately April 5, 2002 the FCC granted the IWL—
Forstmann Applications," and the transfer of control of McLeodUSA to Forstmann was

 consummated on April 16, 2002." Thus, as of April 16, 2002, CCC, Transferor for the
 above—referenced transfer of control applications, is ultimately controlled by Forstmann.

         Upon receipt of a date—stamped copy of this letter, CCC will append it as an
 attachment to the above—referenced FCC Form 603 and FCC Form 312 transfer of control
 applications, all of which are currently pending.

        An original and four (4) copies of this letter are enclosed for filing. Please date—
 stamp and return the enclosed extra copy of this letter provided for this purpose. Should
 you have any questions regarding this correspondence, please contact Catherine Wang or
 Jeanne Stockman at (202) 424—7500.

                                              Very truly yours,

McleodUSA, Inc., Debtor—In—Possession, to Forstmann Little and Co., DA 02—773 (rel.
Apr. 5, 2002).

>       For urgent business and financial reasons, IWL and its Spacelink subsidiary
(collectively "IWL") requested special temporary authority to consummate the transfer of
control of IWL to CapRock Holdings, Inc. ("CapRock Holdings") described in the above—
referenced applications on an—expedited basis. See FCC File Nos. 0000808921,                   —
0000809066, 0000809081, SES—STA—20020314—00328, SES—STA—20020314—00327, and
SES—STA—20020314—00335. On April 5, 2002, the FCC granted IWL such special
temporary authority, enabling the transfer of control of IWL from CCC to CapRock
Holdings. The parties consummated the transfer of control of IWL to CapRock Holdings
pursuant to such special temporary authority on April 8, 2002. As a result, the transfer of
control proposed in the IWL—Forstmann Applications will not be consummated with
respect to IWL because control of IWL was transferred outside the McLeodUSA
corporate family to CapRock Holdings prior to the closing of the Forstmann transaction.
