               MediaOne-TM- Group Completes Highly Successful Year;
       Takes Fourth Quarter Lead in New Telephone Subscribers Over Broadband

    - 76 Percent of MediaOne's Network Has Been Upgraded to 750 MHz Two-Way -

             - Company Continues to Prepare for Merger into AT&T -


     ENGLEWOOD, Colo.-- MediaOne Group (NYSE:  UMG) today reported continued
strong growth across all three of its main product  lines.  The company added a
total of 81,000 new video, telephone and high-speed data (Internet) subscribers
in the U.S. in the fourth quarter; 274,000 new subscribers since the end of the
same quarter last year.

     MediaOne Group reported $3.7 billion in consolidated net income for the
quarter, including gains realized from sales of international investments. The
company ended fourth quarter 1999 with proportionate operating cash flow of $783
million, up 18 percent on a pro-forma  basis over the same  quarter a year ago.
Proportionate operating cash flow as of the end of the year was $2.6 billion, a
pro-forma increase of 15 percent  over  year-end 1998. Proportionate revenue
increased 14 percent on a pro-forma basis, to $1.9 billion, over fourth quarter
1998.* Year-end  proportionate revenue was $7.8 billion, up 13 percent pro-forma
over year-end 1998.

     More customers than ever before are signing up for broadband services,
including digital video, telephone and high-speed data services, thereby
boosting broadband revenue per customer.  Aggressive network upgrades are making
it possible for the company to offer these advanced services to more and more of
the 8.6 million households with access to MediaOne's networks.
     During the last several months, in preparation for the merger with AT&T,
MediaOne International has either sold or announced agreements to sell its
interests in a significant portion of its international holdings for about $12
billion. The company had invested about $2 billion in those same properties as
of the end of last year, providing a powerful return on investment.

     "Employees throughout the company have done an amazing  job of staying
focused on running the business - even as we prepare for the merger into AT&T.
Since the end of the third quarter, we've continued to work with our
counterparts at AT&T to decide on the structure and next steps for the new
company," said Chuck Lillis, chairman and chief executive officer of MediaOne
Group. "And, of course, internationally, we've received phenomenal value for the
holdings we've sold."

MediaOne -- the U.S. broadband business

     MediaOne exceeded its full year projections for 1999, surpassing targets
established for revenue growth, video,  telephone and high-speed data subscriber
growth. Revenue for MediaOne was $693 million, up 12 percent on a pro-forma
basis for the quarter. For the year, MediaOne's revenue was up 11 percent on a
pro-forma  basis, to $2.7 billion. Operating cash flow was $249 million,  up 7
percent pro-forma for the quarter.  Year over year, operating cash flow was up 5
percent, to $980 million. Basic video customer growth increased 1.7 percent on a
pro-forma basis year over year.

     1999 saw  strong  pay-per-view results, ending the year with a 38 percent
pro-forma increase over 1998. That growth was driven in part by further
deployment of advanced analog and digital services through upgraded broadband
networks and improved impulse pay-per-view capabilities. Those upgraded networks
also helped the company add 274,000 new video, telephone and high-speed data
subscribers during the year. Advertising revenues increased 31 percent pro-forma
year over year, to $204 million for 1999.

     At the end of the year, MediaOne served 56,000 digital video subscribers.
The company added 32,000 new subscribers during the fourth quarter, more than
doubling the number of digital subscribers since the end of the third quarter.

     The company added 24,000 telephone subscribers in the fourth quarter, a 57
percent increase over the third quarter of this year. As of the end of the year,
the company served 88,000 telephone lines used by 66,000  subscribers in seven
major markets. In the fourth quarter, MediaOne added more telephone subscribers
than any other broadband provider.

     MediaOne-TM- Road Runner-TM- added 47,000  high-speed data subscribers in
the fourth quarter, a 27 percent increase since the end of the third quarter.
MediaOne - with one of the highest penetrations in the industry  --  served
220,000 high-speed data subscribers across the U.S. as of the end of 1999.

MediaOne Multimedia Ventures -- MediaOne Group's 25.51 percent stake in
Time Warner Entertainment

     For the quarter, MediaOne Group's share of Time Warner  Entertainment's
reported revenue was $943 million, up 14 percent on a pro-forma  basis over
fourth quarter 1998. For the year, MediaOne Group's share was $3.4 billion, up
10 percent pro-forma over year-end 1998. MediaOne Group's share of TWE's
reported earnings before interest, taxes,  depreciation,  amortization and other
associated  costs  for the  fourth  quarter  was  $474  million,  up 17  percent
pro-forma  over the same period  last year;  yearly  figures  were up 10 percent
pro-forma to $1.3 billion.

MediaOne International -- the international broadband and wireless joint
ventures

     MediaOne International is in the process of disposing of a
significant portion of its international assets and will receive about $12
billion from sales of those interests. Several major deals were closed in 1999,
including the sale of UK wireless operator One 2 One to Deutsche Telekom, and
the sale of MediaOne International's stake in Dutch broadband company A2000 and
Belgian broadband company Telenet to respective existing partners. Pending
sales, including the sale of some Central European and Russian wireless
interests and the sale of MediaOne International's stake in UK broadband
operator Telewest, are expected to close in the next few months.

     MediaOne Group will discuss these results on a call with analysts at
11 a.m. EST on February 29. Those who wish to listen to a Webcast of the call
may do so by pointing their browsers to http://www.mediaonegroup.com.  A
replay of the call will run  until March 10 at 7 p.m. EST.


MediaOne Group (NYSE: UMG) is one of the world's largest broadband
communications companies, bringing the power of broadband and the Internet to
customers in the United States, Europe and Asia. The company also has interests
in some of the fastest-growing wireless communications businesses outside the
U.S. For 1999, MediaOne Group produced $7.8 billion in proportionate revenue.
On May 6, 1999, the company entered into an agreement to merge with AT&T.

*NOTE: Because MediaOne Group operates numerous joint ventures, the company uses
proportionate accounting to reflect its share of operating revenues and expenses
associated with these operations.

Pro-forma numbers are used to provide direct "apples to apples" comparisons of
operations quarter over quarter, as the company has streamlined the business
significantly during the past year.

Operating cash flow, which represents earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization, is a key indicator of the company's operating
performance.
