Re: Ameritech Illinois Metro. Inc. - Service in the Village of Elk Grove, Illinois
Dear Mr. Parrin:
This letter serves to confirm your discussion of September 23, 1997, with
Helen Shumate and Jane St. Pierre to document our agreement regarding
the operations of Ameritech Illinois Metro, Inc. ("Ameritech Metro"), a wholly
owned subsidiary of Illinois Bell Telephone Company ("Ameritech Illinois"),
within the Village of Elk Grove, Illinois (the "Village").
After the Illinois Commerce Commission (the "ICC') approves the acquisition
by Ameritech Metro of certain assets of Centel Telephone Company of
Illinois ("Centel"), Ameritech Metro will begin serving former Centel
telephone customers within the Village. We expect that Ameritech Metro
service will commence on November 1, 1997. To provide such service,
Ameritech Metro will occupy the rights of way within the Village pursuant to
the existing franchise agreement between Ameritech Illinois and the Village,
which remains in full force and effect.
Thereafter (and again subject to ICC approval) Ameritech Metro will merge
into Ameritech Illinois; we expect the merger to be completed late in 1998.
After the merger, Ameritech Illinois will serve not only its existing telephone
customers but also the former Ameritech Metro telephone customers in the
Village and will continue to occupy the rights of way within the Village
pursuant to its existing franchise agreement with the Village. We expect that
residents who were previously served by Centel will experience significantly
reduced rates as Ameritech customers.

We look forward to continuing our long-standing relationship with the
Village of Elk Grove. Should you have any questions with respect to
our understanding, please feel free to call either Helen Shumate at
(312) 727-5861 or John Pellouchoud at (312) 609-6036. If you accept
the arrangement which we discussed, as reflected in this letter, please sign
below and return this letter to Helen Shumate, 225 W. Randolph, HO 30A,
Chicago, Illinois, 60606, at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your
assistance in this matter.
Sincerely,
Helen D. Shumate
Director, External Relations
AMERITECH ILLINOIS
