Kenneth D. Peterson, Jr. (“Peterson”) and Columbia Ventures Corporation (“Columbia”) hereby file this Amendment No. 5 (“Amendment No. 5”) to amend and supplement the Statement on Schedule 13D filed on March 7, 2005 and amended on March 25, 2005, May 10, 2005, May 17, 2005 and June 2, 2005, relating to Common Stock, no par value per share (“Common Stock”), issued by Metro One Telecommunications, Inc., an Oregon corporation (the “Issuer”). This Amendment No. 5 is being filed to reflect the changes in beneficial ownership of the Reporting Persons since the date of Amendment No. 4 to the Schedule 13D. As provided in the Joint Filing Agreement filed as an Exhibit to the original Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons have agreed, pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, to file one statement on Schedule 13D (and amendments thereto) with respect to their ownership of Common Stock.

 

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

Item 3 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

Columbia invested $1,760,000 of its working capital to acquire 176 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred”) which are convertible into 988,764 shares of Common Stock, which number may be adjusted from time to time, on the later of 60 days after their issuance or receipt of shareholder approval, and which currently votes with the Common Stock with respect to 85% of the shares of Common Stock into which it is convertible. The conversion price of $1.78 is subject to adjustment. Together with the Preferred, Columbia also acquired at no additional cost warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase an additional 61.6 shares of the Preferred at an exercise price of $10,000 per share, which will become convertible into 346,067 shares of Common Stock at an initial price of $1.78 per share, subject to closing conditions. In addition, Columbia received Senior Secured Convertible Revolver Bridge Notes (the “Notes,” and, together with the Preferred and the Warrants, the “Securities”) having a maximum principal amount of $6,240,000 which, immediately following stockholder approval, will be convertible into 624 shares of the Preferred, with any accrued interest also converting into Preferred, subject to certain closing conditions, and additional Warrants will be issued. Such additional Preferred would be convertible into shares of Common Stock and such additional Warrants would be exercisable for shares of Preferred, which would be convertible into shares of Common Stock.

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

 

The Securities were acquired by Columbia for investment purposes.

 

The investments in the Issuer by the Reporting Persons (and their affiliates) are continuously reviewed and, at any time, the amount of such investments may be increased, through open market purchases or otherwise, or decreased. While the Reporting Persons (and their affiliates) do not have any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the following, the Reporting Persons reserve the right at any time to pursue or support any one or more:
