EXHIBIT 99.4
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' CONSENT
The Board of Directors
GST Telecommunications, Inc.:
We consent to the inclusion in the Form 8-K/A of Time Warner Telecom Inc. of our
report dated March 17, 2000, except for note 16(c) and (d), as to which the date
is September 21, 2000, relating to the consolidated balance sheets of GST
Telecommunications, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and
the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' deficit, and
cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 1999,
the three-month period ended December 31, 1997 and the year ended September 30,
1997. Our report contains an explanatory paragraph that states that the
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in note 16(c) and (d)
to the consolidated financial statements, on May 17, 2000, the Company filed for
protection from its creditors under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Laws.
Subsequent to this filing, the Company conducted an auction under the
supervision of the Bankruptcy Court that has resulted in a definitive agreement
to sell a substantial portion of the Company's assets to Time Warner Telecom
Inc. These actions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
