This Amendment No. 3 (this "Amendment") amends and supplements the Tender
Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed by Chaser Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware

joint stock company incorporated under the laws of Japan ("NTT
Communications"), and Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation, a limited
liability joint stock company incorporated under the laws of Japan ("NTT"), on
May 17, 2000, as amended by Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2 thereto (as
amended, the "Schedule TO"), relating to the offer to purchase all issued and
outstanding shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share ("Common Stock")
(other than shares of Common Stock already owned by NTT Communications and its
subsidiaries), of Verio Inc., a Delaware Corporation ("Verio"), all issued and
outstanding shares of Series A 6.75% Convertible Preferred Stock, par value
$.001 per share, of Verio and certain outstanding warrants to purchase
1,306,228 shares of Common Stock of Verio, upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated May 17, 2000 (the "Offer
to Purchase") and in the related Letters of Transmittal (which, together with
the Offer to Purchase, as supplemented or amended from time to time,
constitute the "Offer"). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have
the meanings assigned to such terms in the Schedule TO.
This Amendment also amends and supplements the Schedule 13D of NTT, NTT

amended.
