     A common stock includes associated series C junior preferred stock
     purchase rights. One series C junior preferred stock purchase right will

current views with respect to future events and are subject to these and other
risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to our operations, results of

                             ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

                                USE OF PROCEEDS

the selling stockholders.

                      DESCRIPTION OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK

  Our Board of Directors has the authority to issue up to 750,000,000 shares
of our class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share. As of June 15, 2000,
167,721,297 shares of our class A common stock were outstanding. The following
discussion summarizes the important terms of our class A common stock.

  Except as described below regarding the election of directors, each share of
class A common stock will be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to
a vote at any meeting of stockholders and the holders of shares of class A
common stock will vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a
vote of stockholders or, if any holders of shares of preferred stock are
entitled to vote together with the holders of class A common stock on any
matter, as a single class with the holders of preferred stock on the matter.

  The right of the holders of the class A common stock to elect members of our
Board of Directors depends on the class of directors being elected.

  .  Class A Directors: Before the date the holders of class B common stock
     may voluntarily convert their class B common stock to class A common
     stock, holders of the class A common stock will elect the class A
     directors by plurality vote. From and after the date the holders of
     class B common stock may voluntarily convert their class B common stock
     to class A common stock, holders of the class A common stock, voting
     together as a single class with the holders of the class B common stock
     and series B preferred stock, will elect the class A directors by
     plurality vote.

  .  Class B Directors: Holders of class A common stock have no right to
     participate in the election of the class B directors.

  .  Class C Directors: Holders of the class A common stock, voting together
     as a single class with the holders of the class B common stock and
     series B preferred stock, generally will elect the Class C directors by
     plurality vote.

  Subject to the rights of holders of preferred stock, holders of class A
common stock will be entitled to receive dividends and other distributions in
cash, stock or property as determined by our Board of Directors from time to
time. The holders of the class A common stock and the class B common stock
will be entitled to receive, and generally to share equally and ratably in,
such dividends. However, if dividends are payable in shares of class A common
stock or class B common stock, the dividends will be declared at the same rate
on each class of stock, and the dividends payable to holders of class A common
stock will be paid in class A common stock and the dividends payable to
holders of class B common stock will be paid in class B common stock.

  Upon our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, distribution of
assets or other winding up, after distribution in full of preferential amounts
to be distributed to the holders of preferred stock or any other class or
series of stock having a preference as to liquidating distributions over the
class A common stock, the holders of the class A common stock and the class B
common stock will be entitled to share equally and ratably in all of our
remaining assets available for distribution to stockholders.

  Unless approved by our Board of Directors in an agreement, holders of our
class A common stock do not have preemptive rights to purchase (1) additional
shares of our capital stock, (2) warrants, rights or options to purchase
additional shares of our capital stock or (3) any obligations convertible into
such stock, warrants, rights or options.

                             SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

  The following table sets forth the name of each selling stockholder, the
number of shares of class A common stock beneficially owned by each selling
stockholder immediately prior to the date of this prospectus, the number of
shares covered by this prospectus, the number of shares to be beneficially
owned by each selling stockholder

                                       2
<PAGE>

upon completion of this offering, and the percentage of shares to be owned by
each selling stockholder upon completion of this offering. However, because
the selling stockholders may offer all or a portion of the shares covered by
this prospectus at any time and from time to time after the date of this
prospectus, we cannot determine the exact number of shares that each selling
stockholder may retain after completion of this offering. The last two columns
of this table assume that the selling stockholders will sell all their
respective shares covered by this prospectus and will not buy or sell any
additional shares of class A common stock.

                             PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

  The selling stockholders may from time to time offer and sell the shares on
the New York Stock Exchange, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise. They
may sell the shares in the following manners, among others:

  .in ordinary brokerage transactions;

  .in block transactions;

  .in privately negotiated transactions;

  .through put or call option transactions;

  .through short sales; or

  .pursuant to Rule 144.

Those transactions may or may not involve brokers or dealers. If the
transactions do include brokers, the selling stockholders expect to pay
customary brokerage commission and charges. We will pay all expenses other
than underwriting discounts, selling commissions and fees, and legal and
accounting fees incurred by the selling stockholders incident to the offering
and sale of the class A common stock.

  The selling stockholders are not obligated to sell any or all of the shares
of class A common stock offered pursuant to this prospectus. Each of the
selling stockholders reserves the right to accept and to reject in whole or in
part any proposed purchase of the shares of class A common stock.

  To the extent required, a supplement to this prospectus or a post-effective
amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part
will set forth the aggregate principal amount of the shares to be sold, the
names of the selling stockholders, the purchase price, the name of any agent,
broker-dealer or underwriters and any applicable commission with respect to a
particular offer. The selling stockholders and any agents, broker-dealers or
underwriters that participate with the selling stockholders in the
distribution of the shares of class A common stock may be deemed to be
"underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act. In that event, any
discounts, commissions or conversions received by the agents, broker-dealers
or underwriters and any profit on the resale of the shares of class A common
stock purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts or
commissions under the Securities Act.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

  Pursuant to Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the
"DGCL"), our Certificate of Incorporation contains provisions that eliminate
the personal liability of our directors for monetary damages resulting from
breaches of their fiduciary duty other than liability for breaches of the duty
of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, violations under Section 174 of the
DGCL or any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.

  Section 145 of the DGCL permits, and under certain circumstances requires,
us to indemnify our directors, officers, employees, and agents subject to
certain conditions and limitations. Our Bylaws contain provisions to indemnify
our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of
the DGCL, including circumstances in which indemnification is otherwise
discretionary. In addition, we maintain officers' and directors' liability
insurance that insures against liabilities that our officers and directors may
incur in their respective capacities.

Item 16. Exhibits.

  A list of the exhibits included as part of this Registration Statement is
set forth in the Exhibit Index that immediately precedes such exhibits and is
incorporated herein by this reference. All schedules for which provision is
made in the applicable accounting regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission have been omitted because they are inapplicable or the required
information has otherwise been omitted.

Item 17. Undertakings.

  We hereby undertake:

    (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
  post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

      (i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the
    Securities Act of 1933.

      (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
    the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
    post-effective amendment thereof) that, individually or in the
    aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
    in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
    increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
    dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
    registered) and any deviation from the low or high and of the estimated
    maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed
    with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
    changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change
    in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation
    of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.

                                     II-1
<PAGE>

      (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
    distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or
    any material change to such information in the registration statement;

  Provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (ii) do not apply if the
registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8 and the information required
to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained
in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the
registrant pursuant to section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

    (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
  Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form
  of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating
  to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
  that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

    (3) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
  1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of
  this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a
  form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or
  (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this
  registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

    (4) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
  any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
  termination of the offering.

    (5) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
  Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to
  section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is
  incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to
  be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
  and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
  initial bona fide offering thereof.

  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant
to the provisions described under Item 15 above, or otherwise, we have been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of
expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of us
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has
been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
