AT&T Group Segment Restatements

AT&T continually reviews the company's management model and segment structure to
best reflect the dynamics of our business. As part of that ongoing review, we
announced in early December anticipated changes to certain segments within the
AT&T Group that would allow us to align our business to better capitalize on the
fast changing telecommunications market.

SEGMENT RESTATEMENTS

         -        Each segment of the AT&T Group has been restated, as
                  applicable, to reflect the 1999 results aligned with the 2000
                  reporting model.

         -        Revenue has been normalized for the impact of Concert, the
                  global communications joint venture with British
                  Telecommunications plc (BT), as if the operations that were
                  contributed to Concert were contributed as of January 1, 1999.
                  Wireless Services and Broadband were not impacted by Concert.

- -        Revenue has also been normalized for certain acquisition and divestment
         activity.

AT&T GROUP
AT&T Group normalized revenue was $14,981 million, $15,436 million, $15,874
million and $15,868 million for 1Q99, 2Q99, 3Q99 and 4Q99 respectively.

BUSINESS SERVICES
This segment reflects the results associated with services provided to business
customers. Business Services now includes the AT&T Solutions outsourcing unit,
AT&T Global Network Services (AGNS), and the AT&T Information Technology
Services unit, formerly all part of the Solutions Group. The IBM outsourcing
contract which was part of AGNS is now being accounted for within AT&T Solutions
outsourcing, which changes the revenue growth target to 25-30%. The elimination
of internal revenue between AT&T Solutions outsourcing, AGNS and Business
Services was previously included in Corporate and Other, but is now eliminated
within Business Services. Business Services also now includes internal revenue
from AT&T WorldNet Services, which is eliminated in Corporate and Other.
Additionally, management of the business sales force that supports wireless
products was transferred to Wireless Services. Revenue has been normalized to
show the impact of AGNS for periods prior to the acquisition and for Concert as
if the operations that were contributed to Concert were contributed as of
January 1, 1999. The net impact of Concert reflects AT&T's contribution to
Concert of certain multinational customer accounts, foreign billed revenue and
other international products, and Concert's purchase from AT&T of the domestic
component of global offerings.

transferred from Consumer Services and management of the business sales force
that supports wireless products was transferred from Business Services.

BROADBAND
There are no restatements related to Broadband.

CORPORATE AND OTHER
This group reflects the results of international operations and ventures and
corporate staff functions, other corporate operations, and elimination of
transactions between segments. AT&T Solutions, AGNS, and the AT&T Information
Technology Services Unit, formerly all part of the Solutions Group, have been
removed from this segment and are now reflected within Business Services.
Eliminations between AT&T Solutions, AGNS and Business Services are now
reflected within Business Services. The elimination of the sales of business
services to AT&T WorldNet Services is now included in this group. Overhead costs
related to the Wireless Tracking Stock have been allocated to Wireless Services
and WOOD-TV (which was sold in 1999) has been transferred to Wireless Services.
Revenue has been normalized to show various divestments of international
businesses and for the impact of Concert as if the operations that were
contributed to Concert were contributed as of January 1, 1999. The impact of
Concert reflects the contribution of AT&T's international carrier services.
