   UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial
statements are based on the historical financial statements of CCIC and the
historical financial statements of the entities acquired by CCIC during the
periods presented, adjusted to give effect to the following transactions:

  (1) the 1999 debt and equity offerings and the issuance of the convertible
      preferred stock and warrants in the GE Capital transaction;

  (2) the Bell Atlantic joint venture;

  (3) the BellSouth transaction;

  (4) the Powertel acquisition; and

  (5) the recent borrowings under the term loans.

   The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for
the year ended December 31, 1999 and the three months ended March 31, 2000 give
effect to these transactions as if they had occurred as of January 1, 1999. The
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet gives effect to the
transaction described in clause (5) above as if it had been completed as of
March 31, 2000. The pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying
notes and are based upon available information and certain assumptions that
management believes are reasonable.

   Included in the notes accompanying the pro forma financial statements are
tables summarizing the unaudited pro forma results of operations and balance
sheet for CCIC and its subsidiaries that are restricted by covenants in our
high yield debt instruments. These subsidiaries exclude our U.K. subsidiaries
and the Bell Atlantic joint venture, both of which are designated as
unrestricted subsidiaries under our high yield debt instruments.

   The pro forma financial statements do not purport to represent what CCIC's
results of operations or financial condition would actually have been had these
transactions in fact occurred on such dates or to project CCIC's results of
operations or financial condition for any future date or period. The pro forma
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and related notes and "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in CCIC's
most recent annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

   The Bell Atlantic joint venture and the Powertel acquisition are accounted
for under the purchase method of accounting. The total purchase price for the
Bell Atlantic joint venture and the Powertel acquisition has been allocated to
the identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of the
applicable acquired business based upon CCIC's estimate of their fair values
with the remainder allocated to goodwill and other intangible assets.

   In April 2000, CCIC (1) paid $538.8 million in cash (of which $395.9 million
resulted from borrowings under the term loans) in connection with closings for
the GTE Wireless, Optus, BellSouth and BellSouth DCS transactions and (2) used
$50.0 million in funds from an escrow account in connection with a closing for
the GTE Wireless transaction. The effect of these payments has not been
reflected in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

  Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations
                             (Dollars in thousands)

(a) Reflects:
  (1) increase in interest expense as a result of the issuance of the notes
      in the 1999 debt offerings of $36,132; and
  (2) amortization of deferred financing costs related to the notes issued in
      the 1999 debt offerings of $815.
(b) Reflects the increase in dividends attributable to the issuance of the
    convertible preferred stock.
(c) Reflects:
  (1) the historical results of operations of the tower operations
      contributed to the Bell Atlantic joint venture, comprising net
      revenues, costs of operations and depreciation and amortization of
      $3,705, $5,359 and $1,899, respectively; and
  (2) the historical results of operations of the tower operations acquired
      in the Powertel acquisition, comprising net revenues, costs of
      operations and depreciation and amortization of $1,864, $2,589 and
      $3,633, respectively.
(d) Reflects:
  (1) additional revenues to be recognized by the Bell Atlantic joint venture
      under the global lease and the formation agreement of $8,092;
  (2) additional revenues to be recognized by CCIC in connection with the
      BellSouth transaction for the sublease of tower space by BellSouth,
      including $16,842 in revenues to be received from BellSouth and $4,552
      in revenues to be received from other tenants; and
  (3) additional revenues to be recognized by CCIC in connection with the
      Powertel acquisition under the master site agreements of $6,185.
(e) Reflects additional costs to be incurred for ground rents in connection
    with the BellSouth agreement.
(f) We expect that the Bell Atlantic joint venture will incur incremental
    operating expenses as a stand-alone entity. Such incremental expenses are
    estimated to amount to approximately $1,313 for the year ended December 31,
    1999. In addition, we expect that we will incur incremental operating
    expenses as a result of the BellSouth transaction and the Powertel
    acquisition. Such incremental expenses are estimated to amount to
    approximately $9,565 for the year ended December 31, 1999. These
    incremental operating expenses are based on management's best estimates
    rather than any contractual obligations.
