ITEM 5.   INTEREST IN THE SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER


     (a)  Due to the New Voting Agreement and pursuant to Rule 13d-5, each of
          the parties to the New Voting Agreement may be deemed to be members
          of a "group," and thereby may be deemed to beneficially own all of
          the shares owned by all other parties to the New Voting Agreement.
          The parties to the New Voting Agreement beneficially own directly
          17,949,224 shares, or 37.95% of the outstanding Stock, 2,030,591
          shares of which are available upon the conversion of the same number
          of shares of Class B common stock of the Company held by parties to
          the New Voting Agreement. The "group" consists of AVLP, Prime Growth,
          Prime Holdings, PCLP, BancBoston Capital, Inc., First Chicago
          Investment Corporation, Madison Dearborn Partners V, Prime Venture
          II, L.P., William Blair Venture Partners III Limited Partnership
          ("WBVP"), Centennial Fund III, L.P., PIIM, Ronald A. Duncan, Robert
          M. Walp, and MCI. TCI GCI, Inc. ("TCI GCI"), an original party to the
          New Voting Agreement, has sold all shares of stock beneficially owned
          by it and is, therefore, no longer a party to the New Voting
          Agreement.

          AVLP expressly declares that the filing of this statement shall not
          be construed as an admission that AVLP is, for the purposes of
          Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Act, the beneficial owner of any
          securities covered by this statement. After giving effect to such
          disclaimer, AVLP beneficially owns directly 494,905 shares, or 1.1%,
          of the outstanding Stock. AVLP also beneficially owns indirectly
          84,063 shares held by the General Partners or their affiliates. AVLP
          holds no shares of the Class B common stock of the Company.

     (b)  See Items 7-10 on the cover page.

     (c)  On June 2, 1997, AVLP distributed 129,943 shares of Stock to its
          partners, including 27,028 shares distributed to AV Partners. All of
          the shares distributed to AV Partners were immediately distributed to
          its partners, including 24,698 shares distributed to the General
          Partners. On August 1, 1997 and August 12, 1997, members of the group
          other than AVLP sold an aggregate of 4,014,536 shares of Stock in an
          underwritten public offering. In addition, WBVP sold an aggregate of
          562,000 shares of Stock in several open market transactions since
          June 1, 1997.

     (d)  No other person has the right or the power to direct the receipt of
          dividends or the proceeds from the sale of the securities reported
          herein.

     (e)  Not applicable.
