   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) our 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;

  (5) the borrowings under the term loans in connection with the GTE
      transaction;

  (6) our 2000 debt offering; and

  (7) the conversion of France Telecom's ownership interest in CCUK into
      shares of our common stock and resulting roll-up of CCUK into CCIC.

   The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for
the year ended December 31, 1999 and the nine months ended September 30, 2000
give effect to these transactions as if they had occurred as of January 1,
1999. The pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes and are
based upon available information and certain assumptions that management
believes are reasonable. All of the above transactions are recorded in CCIC's
historical consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2000; accordingly, no
pro forma balance sheet is presented.

   Included in the notes accompanying the pro forma financial statements are
tables summarizing the unaudited pro forma results of operations 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 would actually have been had these transactions in fact
occurred on such date or to project CCIC's results of operations for any future
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, the Powertel acquisition and the
acquisition of France Telecom's ownership interest in CCUK are accounted for
under the purchase method of accounting. The total purchase price for these
acquisitions 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.

   In July 2000, CCIC sold shares of its common stock and preferred stock in
concurrent underwritten public offerings. The effect of these offerings has not
been reflected in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Operations.

  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.

(g) Reflects the incremental depreciation of property and equipment as a result
    of:

  (1) the Bell Atlantic joint venture for $6,222;

  (2) the BellSouth transaction for $19,282; and

  (3) the Powertel acquisition for $2,383.

    Property and equipment is being depreciated over twenty years.

(h) Reflects additional interest expense attributable to borrowings under the
    credit facility entered into by the Bell Atlantic joint venture at a rate
    of 9.25% per annum.

(i) Reflects the minority partner's 38.5% interest in the Bell Atlantic joint
    venture's operations.

(j) Reflects:

  (1) increase in interest expense as a result of borrowings under the term
      loans of $46,875 for the year ended December 31, 1999 and $12,813 for
      the nine months ended September 30, 2000; and

  (2) amortization of deferred financing costs related to the term loans of
      $375 for the year ended December 31, 1999 and $94 for the nine months
      ended September 30, 2000.
<PAGE>

  Borrowings under the term loans initially incurred interest at a rate of
  10.06% per annum, with such interest rate increasing on a periodic basis.

(k) Reflects:

  (1) increase in interest expense as a result of the issuance of the 10 3/4%
      notes in the 2000 debt offering of $53,750 for the year ended December
      31, 1999 and $26,278 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000;

  (2) amortization of deferred financing costs related to the notes in the
      2000 debt offering of $1,666 for the year ended December 31, 1999 and
      $833 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000;

  (3) decrease in interest expense as a result of the repayment of borrowings
      under the term loans of $46,875 for the year ended December 31, 1999
      and $28,776 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000; and

  (4) the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs related to the
      term loans of $3,750 for the year ended December 31, 1999.

(l) Reflects the incremental amortization of goodwill as a result of the
    increased ownership in CCUK. Goodwill is being amortized over twenty years.

(m) Reflects the elimination of minority interests related to CCUK's operations
    as a result of CCUK becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of CCIC.

   The following tables summarize the unaudited pro forma results of operations
for the restricted group under our high yield debt instruments. The "Exclusion
of Unrestricted Subsidiaries" column reflects the results of operations for the
unrestricted subsidiaries as a reduction from the consolidated pro forma
amounts. Such information is not intended as an alternative measure of the
operating results as would be determined in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.
