             WRTC2002 ORGANIZING COMMITTEE LAUNCHES
             THE LINEUP OF WRTC2002 "WILD-CARD" TEAMS

             At its meeting of January 5, 2002, the full Organizing
             Committee reviewed the wild-card applications received
             to date and other selection related support elements to
             complete selection of the remaining WRTC country teams.

             It was realized  that the WRTC had now reached such
             public exposure and popular appeal that an impressive
             array of the world's most prominent operators were involved
             in the preliminary process, mindful of the constraints imposed
             by the current WRTC framework for facilitating all potential
             competitors.

             Every effort will be made to bring the contesting
             world to Finland to join the event, not just as competitors
             but also to perform other duties or just share in the
             camaraderie of this friendly event.

             The WRTC2002 Organizing Committee is pleased and honored
             to welcome the following teams to Finland to compete and

             At the January 5 meeting, the WRTC Organizing Committee
             also reserved the right to add additional teams, should the
             circumstances so suggest, and/or should any force majeure
             issues arise for the teams announced hereby.
             We congratulate the teams listed above and look forward
             to seeing them in Finland some six months from now.

             Respectfully,
             WRTC2002 Organizing Committee
