BellSouth Corporation: Announces Disclosure Change to Public Ratings

Dominion Bond Rating Service ("DBRS") has today announced a change in its disclosure regarding ratings based on public information for BellSouth Corporation (the "Company").

As DBRS is unable to have substantive discussions with the management of the Company and the analysis of the Company is based solely on public information, the following statement will be used in the press release and rating report: "Note: This rating is based on public information." The statement will replace the "p" that DBRS previously appended to the rating.

Please read the press release dated December 5, 2005, regarding full disclosure change to public ratings.
