Item 5. Other Events.

On June 21, 2002 we announced that on June 14, 2002 we filed, together with our
subsidiaries Startec Global Operating Company and Startec Global Licensing
Company, a Debtors' Joint Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") with the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Maryland, Greenbelt Division.

The Plan as proposed provides for the settlement of all claims against us and
our co-debtors, and for distributions to certain classes of secured and
unsecured creditors. The Plan does not, however, provide for any distributions
to existing equity holders. If the Plan is approved as submitted, all shares of
common stock in Startec Global Communications Corporation will be extinguished.

Upon submission to and approval by the Bankruptcy Court of the Disclosure
Statement, we, along with our co-debtors will formally solicit votes from their
creditors to approve the Plan.
