Item 8.01 Other Events.

Beginning in 2010, Cincinnati Bell Inc. (the “Company”) realigned its reportable business segments to be consistent with changes made to its management reporting as reported in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. Certain data center operations that were historically included in the Wireline segment have been reclassified to the Technology Solutions segment.

The Company is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to conform financial information for its reportable business segments and certain related financial information and disclosures previously set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 to the current segment reporting. The business segment realignment had no effect on our previously reported consolidated results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows. All other information in our Annual Report on Form 10-K remains unchanged in all material respects and has not otherwise been updated for events occurring after the date of our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2010. Information regarding the Company’s business segments was included in Item 1: Business, Item 2: Properties, Item 7: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and Item 8: Financial Statements and Supplementary Data in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Accordingly, the exhibits to this Form 8-K include the following items of the Annual Report on Form 10-K, which have been updated to conform to the current segment reporting:

Exhibit 99.1 — Item 1: Business

Exhibit 99.2 — Item 2: Properties

Exhibit 99.3 — Item 7: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Exhibit 99.4 — Item 8: Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

The information in this Form 8-K is deemed incorporated by reference into our registration statements filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
