                           [Proforma Footprint Map]


                             [Map of Puerto Rico]

By acquiring Tritel Communications and exchanging properties with AT&T Wireless,
TeleCorp PCS is now the ninth largest wireless carrier in the US with licenses
to serve over 35 million people in 16 of the top 100 markets. The timely union
of these entities provides value for both Main Street and Wall Street as it is a
combination of similar cultures and similar missions.

The combination competitively positions TeleCorp PCS to best serve its customers
and its shareholders within a consolidating wireless marketplace. As licensed
areas run from the Gulf of Mexico to the Great Lakes, increased size yields
improved efficiencies and added economies of scale. Specifically, the
transactions boost TeleCorp's significance as a joint venture partner with AT&T
and enhance its wireless data strategy through a larger, contiguous service
area.
