SECTION 1 - REGISTRANT'S BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS

ITEM 1.01  ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

         On February 14, 2005, Cincinnati Bell Inc. (the "Company") entered into
Amendment No. 3 to the Operating Agreement for the existing joint venture
between the Company and Cingular Wireless LLC (Cingular) providing wireless
services in Cincinnati and Dayton, Ohio. Prior to entering into Amendment No. 3
and as the Company has previously disclosed, the Company has a call right to
purchase Cingular's 19.9% interest in the joint venture at any time prior to
September 30, 2005, at a price of $85.0 million. Beginning on September 30,
2005, the Company's call right was to become exercisable at a price of $83.0
million and Cingular was to have a put right to require the Company to purchase
its 19.9% interest at a price of $83.0 million. In addition, Cingular had agreed
not to sell its interest in the joint venture to a third party prior to
September 30, 2005, except for a tag-along right in the event of a sale by the
Company of its interest in the joint venture.

         To the extent that Amendment No. 3 may be material to the Company, the
amendment provides that the Company's current call right exercisable for $85.0
million now expires on January 31, 2006. The effective date at which the Company
may exercise its call right for $83.0 million and at which Cingular may exercise
its put right for $83.0 million has been changed from September 30, 2005 to
January 31, 2006. Similarly, Cingular has agreed to extend until January 31,
2006 its agreement not to sell its interest in the joint venture to a third
party.

         Attached as Exhibit 10.1 is Amendment No. 3 to the Operating Agreement
for that joint venture.
