Item 6.  Resignation of Registrant's Directors.


         On August 24, 1998, the Court approved PowerTel's Amended Motion for
Leave to File Application for Show Cause Order. The approval of this Motion will
allow PowerTel USA, Inc. (PowerTel) to file a Motion for Order to Show Cause
and for Judgment of Contempt against Mr. Pattinson Hayton and others in the
United States District Court for the District of Columbia, Case No. 88-305-NHJ,
in which Mr. Hayton and his agents, assigns, employees and other persons acting
in concert or participating with him were permanently enjoined from violating
various provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

         After a majority of PowerTel's creditors and shareholders voted in
favor of its Plan of Reorganization (Plan), the District Court of Nevada, Reno
Division, held a hearing on August 25, 1998 for the purpose of confirming the
Plan. An order confirming the Plan is expected on or about September 1, 1998.
Upon confirmation of the Plan, the following Agreements will be ratified by the
Court:

          1.   Two stock acquisition agreements, the DiegoTel Stock Acquisition
               Agreement and the VivaTel Stock Acquisition Agreement;

          2.   The Ownership/Settlement Agreement that PowerTel had entered into
               relating to the VivaTel Stock Acquisition Agreement; and 

          3.   The Employment Contracts entered into by PowerTel USA, Inc.

         Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the following actions are also to be
approved upon confirmation:

          1.   The election of Jeffrey Hartman as a director of PowerTel,
               following Larry Herth's resignation from that position;

          2.   The nullification of the January 1997 amendments to the Articles
               of Incorporation;

          3.   The rescission of all Class A common stock issued after May 3,
               1996, except as to shareholders who (i) are bona fide purchasers
               for value, and who (ii) filed a Proof of Interest on or before
               November 10, 1997, which proof of interest was not disputed by
               PowerTel;

          4.   The nullification of the reverse stock split of January 1997; and

          5.   The nullification of the Brady Geothermal Park Power Partners
               Security Interest.
