Holdings (Canada) Co., Nos. 333-18839, 333-38823 and 333-74167 on Form S-3 of

Funding, LLC and Nos. 33-14127, 333-25957, 333-39737, 333-45213 and 333-56835 on
Form S-8 of ICG Communications, Inc. of our reports dated June 28, 2001,
relating to the consolidated balance sheets of ICG Communications, Inc. and
subsidiaries (the Company) (a debtor-in-possession as of November 14, 2000) as
of December 31, 1999 and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 2000, and the related financial statement
schedule, which reports appear in the December 31, 2000 Annual Report on Form
10-K of ICG Communications, Inc.

Our report dated June 28, 2001 contains an explanatory paragraph that states
that the Company has suffered recurring losses, has a significant net capital
deficiency, and, on November 14, 2000, the Company and most of its subsidiaries
filed voluntary petitions for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code, all of which raise substantial doubt about their ability to
continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of that uncertainty.
Additionally, the consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments which may be required in the Chapter 11 reorganization.

Our report refers to a change in the method of accounting for installation
revenues.
