     This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D (the "Initial
Schedule") filed on February 22, 2000 by TPG Advisors III, T3 Advisors and
ColonyGP IV with respect to the Series B Common Stock of the Company. All
capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment have the meanings
ascribed to such terms in the Initial Schedule.

     Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
             ----------------------

     On March 13, 2000, the Company completed the initial public offering of
shares of its common stock (the "IPO"). Pursuant to the IPO, the Company issued
11,500,000 shares of Series B Common Stock. Concurrently with the IPO, the
Company and TPG FirstWorld I LLC completed the sale and purchase of Series B
Common Stock pursuant to the Company Stock Purchase Agreement, as described in
the Initial Schedule, involving a total 3,162,555 shares. The Company also
completed three other concurrent private placements involving the issuance of a
further 2,624,921 shares. In total, the Company issued 17,287,476 shares of
Series B Common Stock (the "New Shares") on March 13, 2000.

     Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
             ------------------------------------

     Following the issuance of the New Shares, TPG Advisors III, T3 Advisors and
ColonyGP IV beneficially own 16,634,721 shares of Series B Common Stock,
representing in the aggregate 30.1% of the outstanding shares of common stock of
the Company (based on the number of shares of common stock represented by the
Company to be outstanding as of March 20, 2000).
