Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

     (a) On March 21, 2005, the Audit and Finance Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Cincinnati Bell Inc. (the “Company”) dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as the Company‘s independent accountants, and the Employees’ Benefits Committee of the Company, which controls and manages the operation and administration of the Cincinnati Bell Inc. Retirement Savings Plan (the “Plan”), dismissed PwC as the Plan’s independent accountants.

     The reports of PwC on the Plan’s financial statements for the past two fiscal years contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

     During the two most recent fiscal years and through March 21, 2005, there were no disagreements with PwC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC, would have caused PwC to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in their reports on the Plan’s financial statements for such years.

     During the two most recent fiscal years and through March 21, 2005, there were no “reportable events” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

     The Company, on behalf of the Plan, has provided a copy of the above disclosures to PwC and asked PwC to provide it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not PwC agrees with the Company’s statements. Attached as Exhibit 16.1 is a copy of PwC‘s letter dated March 24, 2005.

     (b) On March 21, 2005, the Audit Committee approved the engagement of Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte & Touche”) as the Company’s independent accountants, and the Employees’ Benefits Committee of the Company approved the engagement of Deloitte & Touche as the Plan’s independent accountants for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2004 and 2005, effective upon the final completion of Deloitte & Touche’s customary client acceptance procedures and execution of an engagement letter. During the two most recent fiscal years and through March 21, 2005, the Plan did not consult with Deloitte & Touche regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Plan’s financial statements, or any other matters that were either the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) or (v), respectively, of Regulation S-K.
