SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application To Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration; (FirstLink Communications, Inc., Common Stock, No Par 
Value, and Common Stock Purchase Warrants) File No. 1-14271

March 16, 1999.
    FirstLink Communications, Inc. (``Company'') has filed an 
application with the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(``Commission''), pursuant to Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange 
Act of 1934 (``Act'') and Rule 12d22(d) promulgated thereunder, to 
withdraw the above specified securities (``Securities'') from listing 
and registration on the Boston Stock Exchange, Inc. (``BSE'' or 
``Exchange'').
    The reasons cited in the application for withdrawing the Securities 
from listing and registration include the following:
    The Securities of the Company have been listed for trading on the 
BSE and since July 27, 1998, pursuant to a Registration Statement on 
Form SB-2 which became effective on said date, on the Nasdaq SmallCap 
Market.
    On February 18, 1999, the Company's Securities were suspended from 
trading on the BSE due to the Company's failing to meet the Exchange's 
minimum beneficial shareholder requirement with respect to the Common 
Stock of 600 beneficial shareholders.
    The Company has complied with the rules of the BSE by filing with 
the Exchange a certified copy of the resolution adopted by the 
Company's Board of Directors authorizing the withdrawal of its 
Securities from listing on the BSE and by setting forth in detail to 
the Exchange the reasons for the proposed withdrawal and the facts in 
support thereof. In making the decision to withdraw its Securities from 
listing on the BSE, the Company considered the minimum beneficial 
shareholder requirements of the Exchange and, based on a cost/benefit 
analysis, has decided not to rectify the situation.
    The Exchange has informed the Company that it has no objection to 
the withdrawal of the Company's Securities from listing on the BSE.
    The Company's application relates solely to the withdrawal from 
listing of the Securities from the BSE and shall have no effect upon 
the continued listing of the Securities on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.
    Any interested person may, on or before, April 6, 1999, submit by 
letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth Street, NW., Washington, DC 20549-0609, facts bearing upon 
whether the application has been made in accordance with the rules of 
the Exchange and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the 
Commission for the protection of investors. The Commission, based on 
the information submitted to it, will issue an order granting the 
application after the date mentioned above, unless the Commission 
determines to order a hearing on the matter.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, 
pursuant to delegated authority.
Margaret H. McFarland,
Deputy Secretary.
