offered to limited groups of investors (the "Fidelity Funds"). Fidelity
Management Trust Company ("FMTC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMR
Corp. and a bank as defined in Section 3(a)(6) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, serves as trustee or managing agent for various

principal offices of FMR, Fidelity, and FMTC are located at 82
Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109.
FIL is an investment adviser which provides investment advisory
and management services to a number of non-U.S. investment companies or
instrument trusts (the "International Funds") and certain institutional
investors. Prior to June 30, 1980, FIL was a majority-owned subsidiary
of Fidelity. On that date, the shares of FIL held by Fidelity were
distributed, as a dividend, to the shareholders of FMR. FIL currently
operates as an entity independent of FMR and Fidelity. The
International Funds and FIL's other clients, with the exception of
Fidelity and an affiliate of Fidelity, are non-U.S. entities. Various
foreign-based subsidiaries of FIL are also engaged in investment
management. The principal office of FIL is located at Pembroke Hall, 42
Crow Lane, Hamilton, Bermuda.
Prior to June 30, 1980, FIL was a majority-owned subsidiary of
Fidelity. On that date, the shares of FIL held by Fidelity were
distributed, as a dividend, to the shareholders of FMR. FIL currently
operates as an entity independent of FMR and Fidelity. The
International Funds and FIL's other clients, with the exception of
Fidelity and an affiliate of Fidelity, are non-U.S. entities.
Edward C. Johnson 3d owns 34.0% of the outstanding voting common
stock of FMR. In addition, a partnership controlled by Mr. Johnson and
members of his family own shares of FIL voting stock with the right to
cast approximately 47.22% of the total votes which may be cast by all
holders of FIL voting stock. Mr. Johnson 3d is Chairman of FMR Corp.
and FIL. FMR Corp. and FIL are separate and independent corporate
entities. FMR Corp. and FIL are managed independently and their boards
of Directors are generally composed of different individuals. Their
investment decisions are made independently, and clients are different
organizations. The business address and principal occupation of Mr.
Johnson 3d is set forth in Schedule A hereto.
Effective July 1, 1993, Fidelity became sub-advisor to Fidelity
American Special Situations Trust ("FASST").
FASST is a unit trust established and authorized by the Department
of Trade and Industry under the laws of England. The investment advisor
of FASST is Fidelity Investment Services Limited, an English company and
a subsidiary of FIL.
Advanced MobileComm, Inc. ("AMI") directly and indirectly through
its subsidiaries provides telecommunication services. Fidelity Capital,
Inc., directly or through its subsidiaries, invests in and/or operates
emerging businesses. Fidelity Capital, Inc. is a subsidiary of FMR
Corp.
The Shares to which this statement relates are owned directly by
seven of the Fidelity Funds, three Accounts, FASST, by Advanced
MobileComm, Inc., and by Fidelity International Limited, through its
subsidiaries and affiliates.
FMR and FIL are of the view that they are not acting as a "group"
for purposes of Section 13(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the "1934 Act") and that they are not otherwise required to attribute
to each other the "beneficial ownership" of securities "beneficially
owned" by the other corporation within the meaning of Rule 13d-3
promulgated under the 1934 Act. Therefore, they are of the view that
the Shares held by the other corporations need not be aggregated for
purposes of Section 13(d). However, FMR is making this filing on a
voluntary basis as if all of the Shares are beneficially owned by FMR
and FIL on a joint basis.
The name, residence or business address, principal occupation or
employment and citizenship of each of the executive officers and
directors of FMR are set forth in Schedule A hereto.
Within the past five years, none of the persons named in this Item
2 or listed on Schedule A has been convicted in any criminal proceeding
(excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or has been a
party to any civil proceeding and as a result thereof was or is subject
to any judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of,
or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to , federal or state
securities laws or finding any violations with respect to such laws.
