PLEASE CONFIRM TIMELY RECEIPT BY EACH BOARD MEMBER


Dear Lady and Gentlemen:

We are in receipt of your letter dated December 9, 2005, in
which you wrote to us stating,
"The Board of Directors has authorized me [Herbert Gareiss]
to assure you that your many comments are carefully
considered by each Board member and are fully included in
Board deliberations.?  That was the entire letter.

While it?s heartwarming to know that the Board carefully
considers our ?comments? it is downright infuriating that we
have received not one answer to any of the questions we have
asked!  It is blatantly apparent that the Board has chosen to
continue to hide behind this veil of secrecy as opposed to
disclosing imperative information to Shareholders that is
relevant to their making informed decisions about their
investment in the Company.

Following the November 17th Annual Meeting, we wrote two
letters to you.  In the first letter dated November 30, 2005
we stated, ??we urge your serious and prompt consideration of
answering questions, [plural] and releasing the requested
information.?  We also indicated that, ?As loyal
shareholders? we will welcome the opportunity to discuss
these matters with you."  In the second letter, dated
December 5, 2005, we spoke to Warwick?s stock and its plan of
turning the company around.

Still, not one single question has been addressed, let alone
answered.

Furthermore, you have neither acknowledged our Dividend
Policy Proposal for inclusion in the next proxy statement nor
responded to the offer made to you contained in our covering
letter, both dated November 22.

We ask you again, please respond to the following questions:

1. Will you share with us some evidence that the personnel
newly brought on will bring the correct experience and
ability to the Company in order to achieve what must be done?

2. With respect to ?loyal customers,? isn't it true that on a
net basis customers have been lost in the past years?  In
particular, isn?t it true that Warwick has lost customers in
the last 12 months?

3. Why is it that Chairman Buckbee who said he ?would not be
opposed to selling the Company? if you did not succeed in a
year so willing to wait yet one more year?

	(a) What is he waiting for?

	(b) What is his reasoning based on?

(c) Does he not believe Warwick?s time for selling is
limited as the valuation metrics of the principal
business are steadily deteriorating?

4. Herb, you stated at the meeting, ?To drive in new revenues
we have several exciting projects lined up for next year.?
Seeing projects simply ?lined up? for next year, it's hard to
imagine these ventures will be profitable that quickly and
add anything of significance to the bottom line. Are we
mistaken?

5. Do you intend to see profits within the next year from web
hosting, the sale of wireless services obtained through
Verizon and Sprint Networks, your CLEC, WiMax Video and
Independent Optical Network?

If so, please correct me and provide shareholders with your
projection or estimate or basis for believing these will be
profitable in 2006?  If you can?t, why not?

You can?t hide behind Rule FD on this because it is perfectly
allowable for you to release a forecast, estimate,
projection, guess, call it what you will, in an 8-K.   As
shareholders in a Company whose sole actively managed
business is operating simply a small plain old telephone
system,  telephone company, we can not understand your
unwillingness to  make public your forecast for 2005, 2006
and beyond.  This, for obvious reasons, makes us believe you
don?t have one.  You can and should, at the very least,
release information to your shareholders and the public with
respect to the initiatives and new projects you outlined as
being in the pipeline in detail and explain what you estimate
these to add, how many dollars of sales and profits, and over
what period of time.

7.  You stated that you believe strongly that ?loyal
shareholders? are one of Warwick's strengths.  Therefore, do
you agree with any of the following statements?

(a) Nothing builds a stronger base of loyal shareholders
more than honesty and transparency.

(b) Too many companies release small tidbits of
information on new projects and make boilerplate
statements such as, "we believe X will greatly add to
our profitability."  No substance and all fluff.

(c) Forthright honest managements delve into why they
believe this and what steps are being taken to insure
this happens.

(d) Providing a supportable basis for beliefs sends a
critical message to all shareholders and the market
place that management?s intentions are more than just
meaningless boilerplate words and statements.

8.  Do you understand that believable managements are, in
fact, those who provide straightforward plans and back them
up with supporting documentation and not merely make nice
sounding statements?

9. Do you understand in the stock market a Company's share
price generally will be rewarded with a swift and positive
upward move in reaction to such first class, forthright,
honest and complete treatment of shareholders?

10. Following your presentation at the annual meeting and
your filings and releases on November 17, 2005, the Company's
shares declined nearly every single day for eight days until
they stabilized at a level of $19 and change. Our shares have
fallen in value in less than eight trading session's by more
than 14% at this moment of writing from a $23 per share
closing price on November 17, the afternoon of the annual
meeting to $19.75 per share now.

Do you care at all about the Company?s stock price free fall
since your comments at the Annual Meeting?

11. Do you understand the message that such a free fall gives
to management and also to investors?

12. Do you understand that shareholders need much more than
management banal, trite, platitudinous, unconvincing
statements in place of real supportable facts, estimates and
plans?

13.  New Ulm Telecom (NULM) is up 94.7% this year because its
OCP-like passive investment, its 9.88% ownership of Midwest
Wireless Holdings, is being sold.

Do you not think a similar value enhancement of WWVY shares
would result if WWVY were to separate or sell or otherwise
monetize its fabulous 7.5% investment in the Orange County
Cellular Partnership?

14. Why without your providing any specific examples of
success against competitors, or supporting documentation of
your many intentions, promises and assertions, or forecasts,
estimates, projections or proformas, do you want shareholders
to trust you "to remain an solid investment" with no
explanation of your reasoning or basis for this statement
whatever?

15. How long do you believe it is reasonable for shareholders
to wait for operating profits from the POTS to materialize
and observe real sustained growth to occur?

16. Please explain why Orange County / Poughkeepsie (OCP?s),
our only source of profits in 2005, revenue growth slowed to
just 4.3% in the first nine month and why expenses surged
85.5% in the third quarter alone of 2005?

(a) This performance is suggestive of a possible non-
recurring expense. This information is so very important
for shareholder to have in order to assess the situation
properly don?t you think?

(b) Therefore, if the huge increase in expenses was non-
recurring in nature, would you mind telling us please
what the non-recurring expense was?

(c) If it was not and will be an ongoing level of
expense will you please advise us as to why suddenly
there has been such an unusual increase?

16. Are you ready and willing to act in shareholders behalf
now?

In your letter, as noted above, you ignored answering any of
our questions.  Please answer them now.

speak of, we look forward to hearing from you promptly.


Warmly,


Lawrence J. Goldstein
