ITEM 2(A).  NAME OF PERSON FILING:

            This statement is filed on behalf of MediaOne Group, Inc. (formerly
"U S WEST, Inc."), a Delaware corporation ("MediaOne Group"), and MediaOne
Group, Inc., a Colorado corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of MediaOne
Group ("MediaOne Colorado" and, together with MediaOne Group, the "Group"). The
Agreement among the Group that this statement be filed on behalf of each of them
is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

      MediaOne Colorado acquired beneficial ownership of the securities listed
in Item 9 of the Cover Sheet relating to MediaOne Colorado (the "Securities") in
connection with separation of U S WEST, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Old U S
WEST"), into two independent companies (the "Separation"). The Separation was
consummated on June 12, 1998.

      Prior to the Separation, the Securities were owned by U S WEST Media
Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Old U S WEST
("MGI"). In connection with the Separation, MGI contributed the Securities as a
capital contribution to MediaOne Colorado, which was then a direct wholly owned
subsidiary of MGI. Following such contribution, MGI distributed the stock of
MediaOne Colorado to Old U S WEST. As a result, MediaOne Colorado became a
direct wholly owned subsidiary of Old U S WEST and acquired direct ownership of
the Securities and MGI no longer beneficially owns the Securities. In connection
with the Separation, Old U S WEST was renamed "MediaOne Group, Inc."

ITEM 2(B).  ADDRESS OF PRINCIPAL BUSINESS OFFICE:

            The address of the principal business office of MediaOne Group and
MediaOne Colorado is 188 Inverness Drive West, Englewood, Colorado 80112.

ITEM 2(C).  CITIZENSHIP:

            MediaOne Group is a Delaware corporation. MediaOne Colorado is a
Colorado corporation.

ITEM 3.  IF THIS STATEMENT IS FILED PURSUANT TO RULES 13D-1(B), 13D-2(B) OR (C),
         CHECK WHETHER THE PERSON FILING IS A:

         If this statement is filed pursuant to Rule 13d-1(c), check this 
box: [X]

ITEM 4.  OWNERSHIP:

         The responses of the Group to Items 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 11 of the Cover
Sheets, which related to the beneficial ownership of the Common Stock, are
incorporated herein by


                          Page 4 of 8 Pages

reference. All shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Group are owned
directly by MediaOne Colorado and indirectly by MediaOne Group. According to the
Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 1998,
572,421,404 shares of Common Stock were outstanding on April 30, 1998. As of the
date hereof, MediaOne Colorado directly owns, and MediaOne Group indirectly
owns, 59,446,902 shares of Common Stock. Based on the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding as of April 30, 1998, the shares of Common Stock directly
owned by MediaOne Colorado and indirectly owned by MediaOne Group represent
10.4% of the outstanding Common Stock.

         MediaOne Group and the Issuer have entered into the Amended and
Restated Investment Agreement, dated as of April 6, 1998 (the "Investment
Agreement"). Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, MediaOne Group has agreed
that MediaOne Group and its affiliates will vote all of the shares of Common
Stock held by them in favor of the individuals nominated by the Issuer for
election to the Board of Directors of the Issuer and on all other matters in the
same proportion as all other holders of the Common Stock. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, pursuant to the Investment Agreement, if Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP,
Pillsbury Madison & Sutro LLP or other nationally recognized securities counsel
for MediaOne Group or the Issuer informs MediaOne Group and the Issuer in
writing that, as a result of the foregoing voting agreement with respect to the
election of directors, such counsel is unable to deliver an opinion that
MediaOne Group is not an "affiliate" of the Issuer within the meaning of Rule
144 under the Securities Act, then, with respect to the election of directors,
MediaOne Group has agreed that MediaOne Group and its affiliates will vote all
of the shares of Common Stock held by them in the same proportion as all other
holders of the Common Stock.


ITEM 8.  IDENTIFICATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF MEMBERS OF THE GROUP:

         This Statement on Schedule 13G is being filed pursuant to Rule 13d-1(c)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The members of the Group
are MediaOne Group and MediaOne Colorado.


ITEM 10. CERTIFICATION:

         By signing below, MediaOne Group and MediaOne Colorado certify that, to
the best of their knowledge and belief, the securities referred to above were
not acquired and are not held for the purpose of or with the effect of changing
or influencing the control of the issuer of the securities and were not acquired
and are not held in connection with or as a participant in any transaction
having that purpose or effect.
