Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

     On December 2, 1996, the Registrant,  through its wholly owned  subsidiary,
Telecommunication  Services Group, Inc., a Florida corporation ("TSG"), acquired
all the issued and  outstanding  capital stock of Dial  Communications,  Inc., a
Florida corporation ("Dial"),  from its sole shareholders,  William E. and Sybil
C. Newton (the "Sellers")   (the acquisition of such stock, as described herein,
is referred to as the "Acquisition"). The Acquisition was effected pursuant to a
Stock  Purchase  Agreement  dated as of  November  30,  1996  (the  "Acquisition
Agreement")  among TSG, the Registrant  and the Sellers.  The purchase price was
$3,000,000 paid in cash, 108,489 shares of common stock of the Registrant, and a
three-year  promissory  note of the Registrant and TSG in the amount of $892,000
bearing interest at prime plus 1/2%. The Registrant funded the cash component of
the purchase price in part through its line of credit and in part through a $1.9
million term loan, both with Sun Trust, N.A.

     In connection with the  Acquisition,  the Registrant  entered into a three-
month  employment  agreement  with Sybil C.  Newton and an  18-month  consulting
agreement with William E. Newton.

     Dial is a provider of advanced telecommunication network services including
the  installation  and integration of both outside and inside plant;  typically,
fiber optic and coaxial cable, and ancillary  equipment for digital voice, data,
and video  transmission  installed to upgrade  existing  networks and to provide
connectivity  to  office  buildings,  local,  and wide area  networks.  Dial has
operated primarily in northern Florida, Alabama and Georgia for more than 25
years.
