INTERMEDIA COMMUNICATIONS INC.
937,500 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
_______________
This Prospectus is being used in connection with the offering from time to
time by Newhouse Broadcasting Corporation, a New York corporation ("Newhouse"),
of shares (the "Shares") of common stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Common
Stock"), of Intermedia Communications Inc., a Delaware corporation (together
with its subsidiaries, the "Company" or "ICI"). Newhouse acquired 937,500 shares
of Common Stock from ICI on June 28, 1996 as consideration for the acquisition
by ICI from EMI Telecommunications Corp., a New York corporation ("EMI") and a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Newhouse, of its telecommunication division (the "EMI
Acquisition").
The Shares may be offered by Newhouse in transactions in the over-the-
counter-market at prices obtainable at the time of sale or in privately
negotiated transactions at prices determined by negotiation. Newhouse may effect
such transactions by selling the Shares to or through securities broker-dealers,
and such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts,
concessions or commissions from Newhouse and/or the purchasers of the Shares for
whom such broker-dealers may act as agent or to whom they sell as principal, or
both (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of
customary commissions). Additionally, agents or dealers may acquire Shares or
interests therein as a pledgee and may, from time to time, effect distributions
of the Shares or interests in such capacity. See "Plan of Distribution."
Newhouse, the brokers and dealers through whom sales of the Shares are made and
any agent or dealer who distributes Shares acquired as pledgee may be deemed
"underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), and any profits realized by them on the sale of the Shares
may be considered to be underwriting compensation.
The Company is not selling any of the Shares and will not receive any of
the proceeds from the sale of the Shares being sold by Newhouse. The cost of
registering the Shares is being borne by the Company.
On July 9, 1996, the closing price for the Common Stock as quoted on the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotation System
National Market ("Nasdaq National Market"), under the symbol "ICIX", was $30.00
per share.

RISK FACTORS
Prospective investors should consider carefully the following factors
relating to the business of the Company and this offering, in addition to other
information set forth elsewhere in this Prospectus, before purchasing Shares.
Substantial Indebtedness; Insufficiency of Earnings to Cover Fixed Charges.
At March 31, 1996, after giving pro forma effect to (i) an offering by the
Company of 5,171,192 shares of Common Stock (the "Offering"), including 674,503
of overallotment shares exercised in May 1996, and a concurrent offering of
$330.0 million principal amount at maturity of 12 1/2% Senior Discount Notes due
2006 (the "Concurrent Offering") and the application of the proceeds therefrom,
and (ii) the EMI Acquisition, the Company would have had outstanding
approximately $364 million in aggregate principal amount of indebtedness and
other liabilities on a consolidated basis (including trade payables). The degree
to which the Company is leveraged could have important consequences to holders
of the Common Stock, including the following: (i) the Company will have
significant cash interest expense and principal repayment obligations with
respect to outstanding indebtedness; (ii) the Company's significant degree of
leverage could increase its vulnerability to changes in general economic
conditions or increases in prevailing interest rates; (iii) the Company's
ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital
expenditures, acquisitions, general corporate purposes or other purposes could
be impaired; and (iv) the Company may be more leveraged than certain of its
competitors, which may be a competitive disadvantage.
For the year ended December 31, 1995, and on a pro forma basis after giving
effect to (i) the Offering, the Concurrent Offering and the application of the
proceeds therefrom, (ii) the EMI Acquisition and (iii) the Company's acquisition
of FiberNet USA, Inc. and FiberNet Telecommunications of Cincinnati, Inc.
(collectively, "FiberNet") as if they had occurred on January 1, 1995, the
Company's pro forma earnings would have been inadequate to cover its pro forma
charges by $46.1 million, primarily as a result of operating expenses associated
with the expansion of the Company's networks and operations. Since December 31,
1995, the Company has continued to incur substantial operating losses. In order
for the Company to meet its debt service obligations, the Company will need to
substantially improve its operating results. There can be no assurance that the
Company's operating results will be of sufficient magnitude to enable the
Company to meet its debt service obligations. In the absence of such operating
results, the Company could face substantial liquidity problems and might be
required to raise additional financing through the issuance of debt or equity
securities; however, there can be no assurance that ICI would be successful in
raising such financing, or the terms or timing thereof.
Limited Operations; History of Net Losses. The Company's business
commenced in 1987 and substantially all of the Company's revenues are derived
from enhanced network services, integration services, long distance services and
certain local network services. The Company is expecting to substantially grow
the size of its operations and number of service offerings in the near future.
Prospective investors, therefore, have limited historical financial information
about the Company upon which to base an evaluation of the Company's performance
and an investment in the Common Stock. Given the Company's limited operating
history, there is no assurance that it will be able to compete successfully in
the telecommunications business.
The development of the Company's business and the installation and
expansion of its networks require significant expenditures, a substantial
portion of which are incurred before the realization of revenues. Together with
the associated early operating expenses, these capital expenditures result in
negative cash flow until an adequate customer base is established. ICI reported
net losses of approximately $2.1 million, $3.1 million and $20.7 million for the
years ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively. Although its
revenues have increased in each of the last three years, ICI has incurred
significant increases in expenses associated with the development and expansion
of its fiber optic networks, services and customer base. There can be no
assurance that ICI will achieve or sustain profitability in the future.
New Telecommunications Act and Uncertainty of Future Regulation. The
Company is subject to federal regulation by the Federal Communications
Commission ("FCC") and local service regulation by the public service
3
<PAGE>
commissions in the states in which it provides jurisdictionally interstate
services. The Company may also be subject to regulation by the public service
commissions of other southeastern states into which the Company is expanding. In
addition, many of these regulations may be subject to judicial review, the
result of which ICI is unable to predict. The FCC has determined that non-
dominant carriers, such as the Company, are required to file interstate tariffs
on an ongoing basis. The recently enacted Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the
"1996 Act") provides the FCC with the authority to forebear from imposing any
regulations it deems unnecessary, including requiring non-dominant carriers to
file tariffs. The FCC has initiated two different proceedings which may
eliminate the tariff-filing obligation of the Company; however, there can be no
assurance that the FCC will so forebear. The Company is also generally subject
to state certification, tariff filing and other regulatory requirements.
Challenges to tariffs by third parties may cause the Company to incur
significant legal and administrative expenses. In addition, to the extent the
Company provides intrastate services, it is generally subject to certification
and/or tariff filing requirements by state regulators, which vary on a state-by-
state basis. Although the trend in federal and state regulations appears to
favor increased competition, no assurance can be given that changes in current
or future regulations adopted by the FCC or state regulatory bodies or
legislative initiatives would not have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Risks of Implementation and Need to Obtain Permits and Rights of Way. The
Company is continuing to expand its existing networks. In addition, the Company
has networks under development in St. Louis, Missouri. The Company has
identified other expansion opportunities in Florida and other parts of the
eastern United States and is currently extending the reach of its networks to
pursue such opportunities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to expand its existing networks or construct or acquire new networks as
currently planned on a timely basis. The expansion of the Company's existing
networks and its construction or acquisition of new networks will be dependent,
among other things, on its ability to acquire rights-of-way and any required
permits on satisfactory terms and conditions and on its ability to finance such
expansion, acquisition and construction. These factors and others could
adversely affect the expansion of the Company's customer base on its existing
networks and commencement of operations on new networks. If the Company is not
able to expand, acquire or construct its networks in accordance with its plans,
the growth of its business would be materially adversely affected.
Competition. In each of its markets, the Company faces significant
competition for the local network services it offers from local exchange
carriers ("LECs"), which currently dominate their local telecommunications
markets. LECs have long-standing relationships with their customers. These
relationships may create competitive barriers. Furthermore, LEC's may have the
potential to subsidize competitive service from monopoly service reserves. In
addition, a continuing trend toward business combinations and alliances in the
telecommunications industry may create significant new competitors to the
Company. The Company also faces competition in most markets in which it operates
from one or more facilities-based competitive access providers ("CAPS")
operating fiber optic networks. In addition, the Company faces competition in
its network systems integration business from equipment manufacturers, the
regional Bell operating companies ("RBOCs") and other LECs, long distance
carriers and systems integrations and in its enhanced network services business
from local telephone companies, long distance carriers, very small aperture
terminal ("VSAT") providers and others. Many of the Company's existing and
potential competitors have financial, personnel and other resources
significantly greater than those of the Company.
The Company believes that various legislative initiatives, including the
recently enacted 1996 Act, have removed remaining legislative barriers to local
exchange competition. Nevertheless, in light of the passage of the 1996 Act,
regulators are also likely to provide LECs with increased pricing flexibility as
competition increases. If LECs are permitted to lower their rates substantially
or engage in excessive volume or discount pricing practices for their customers,
the net income or cash flow of competitive local exchange carriers, including
the Company, could be materially adversely affected. In addition, while the
Company currently competes with AT&T, Inc. ("AT&T"), MCI Communications
Corporation ("MCI") and others in the interexchange services market, the recent
federal legislation permits the RBOCs to provide interexchange services once
certain criteria are met. If the RBOCs begin to provide such services, they will
be in a position to offer single source service similar to that being offered by
ICI. In addition, AT&T, MCI and other interexchange carriers have announced
their intent to enter into the local exchange services market. The Company
cannot predict the number of competitors that will emerge as a result of any new
federal and
4
<PAGE>
state regulatory or legislative actions. Competition from the RBOCs with respect
to interexchange services or from AT&T and MCI with respect to local exchange
services could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business.
Significant Capital Requirements. Expansion of the Company's existing
networks and services and the development of new networks and services require
significant capital expenditures. ICI expects to fund additional capital
requirements through existing resources, internally generated funds, joint
ventures and debt or equity financing as appropriate. There can be no assurance,
however, that ICI will be successful in producing sufficient cash flow or
raising sufficient debt or equity capital on terms that it will consider
acceptable. In addition, the Company's future capital requirements will depend
upon a number of factors, including marketing expenses, staffing levels and
customer growth, as well as other factors that are not within the Company's
control, such as competitive conditions, governmental regulation and capital
costs. Failure to generate sufficient funds may require ICI to delay or abandon
some of its future expansion or expenditures, which would have a material
adverse effect on its growth and its ability to compete in the
telecommunications industry.
Expansion Risk. The Company is experiencing a period of rapid expansion
which management expects will increase in the near future. This growth has
increased the operating complexity of the Company, as well as the level of
responsibility for both existing and new management personnel. The Company's
ability to manage its expansion effectively will require it to continue to
implement and improve its operational and financial systems and to expand, train
and manage its employee base. The Company's inability to effectively manage its
expansion could have a material adverse effect on its business.
A portion of the Company's expansion may occur through acquisition as an
alternative to client investments in the assets required to implement the
expansion. No assurance can be given that suitable acquisitions can be
identified, finalized and completed on acceptable terms, or that the Company's
future acquisitions, if any, will be successful.
Risk of New Service Acceptance. The Company offers a number of services
that the Company believes are important to its long-term growth. The success of
these services will be dependent upon, among other things, the willingness of
business customers to accept new telecommunications technology. No assurance can
be given that such acceptance will occur; the lack of such acceptance could have
a material adverse effect on the Company.
Rapid Technological Changes. The telecommunications industry is subject to
rapid and significant changes in technology. While ICI believes that, for the
foreseeable future, these changes will neither materially affect the continued
use of its fiber optic networks nor materially hinder its ability to acquire
necessary technologies, the effect on the business of ICI, of technological
changes such as changes relating to emerging wireline and wireless transmission
technologies, including software protocols, cannot be predicted.
Dependence on Key Personnel. The Company's business is managed by a small
number of key management and operating personnel, the loss of certain of whom
could have a material adverse impact on the Company's business. The Company
believes that its future success will depend in large part on its continued
ability to attract and retain highly skilled and qualified personnel. None of
the Company's executives, other than David C. Ruberg, President, Chief Executive
Officer and Chairman of the Board, is a party to an employment agreement with
the Company.
Risk of Cancellation or Non-Renewal of Network Agreements, Licenses and
Permits. The Company has lease and/or purchase agreements for rights-of-way,
utility pole attachments, conduit and dark fiber for its fiber optic networks.
Although the Company does not believe that any of these agreements will be
cancelled in the near future, cancellation or non-renewal of certain of such
agreements could materially adversely affect the Company's business in the
affected metropolitan area.
In addition, the Company has certain licenses and permits from local
government authorities. The 1996 Act requires that local government authorities
treat telecommunications carriers in a competitively neutral, non-
5
<PAGE>
discriminatory manner, and that most utilities, including most LECs and electric
companies, afford alternative carriers access to their poles, conduits and
rights-of-way at reasonable rates on non-discriminatory terms and conditions.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain its existing
franchises, permits and rights or to obtain and maintain the other franchises,
permits and rights needed to implement its strategy on acceptable terms.
Lack of Dividend History. The Company has never declared or paid any cash
dividends on its Common Stock and does not expect to declare any such dividends
in the foreseeable future. Payment of any future dividends will depend upon
earnings and capital requirements of the Company, the Company's debt facilities
and other factors the Board of Directors considers appropriate. ICI intends to
retain its earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of its
business, and therefore does not anticipate paying any dividends in the
foreseeable future. In addition, the terms of existing indentures governing
certain of the Company's indebtedness (the "Indentures") restrict the payment of
dividends.
Dependence on Business from IXC's. For the year ended December 31, 1995,
approximately 10% of the Company's consolidated revenues were attributable to
access services provided to Interexchange carriers ("IXCs"). The loss of access
revenues from IXCs in general could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business.
In addition, the Company's growth strategy assumes increased revenues from
IXCs following the deployment of switches on its networks and the provision of
switched access origination and termination services. There is no assurance that
the IXCs will continue to increase their utilization of the Company's services,
or will not reduce or cease their utilization of the Company's services, which
could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Business Combinations; Change of Control. The Company has from time to
time held, and continues to hold, preliminary discussions with (i) potential
strategic investors who have expressed an interest in making an investment in or
acquiring the Company and (ii) potential joint venture partners looking toward
the formation of strategic alliances that would expand the reach of the
Company's networks or services without necessarily requiring an additional
investment in the Company. In addition to providing additional growth capital,
management believes that an alliance with an appropriate strategic investor
would provide operating synergy to, and enhance the competitive positions of,
both ICI and the investor within the rapidly consolidating telecommunications
industry. There can be no assurance that agreements for any of the foregoing
will be reached. However, management does not believe that the consummation of
any such agreements are necessary to successfully implement its strategic plans.
An investment, business combination or strategic alliance could constitute a
Change of Control. The Indentures provide that a Change of Control would
require the Company to repay the indebtedness outstanding under such
instruments. If a Change of Control does occur, there is no assurance that the
Company would have sufficient funds to make such repayments or could obtain any
additional debt or equity financing that could be necessary in order to repay
the required indebtedness.
Anti-Takeover Provisions. The Company's Certificate of Incorporation and
Bylaws, the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law and the
Indentures may make it difficult in some respects to effect a change in control
of the Company and replace incumbent management. In addition, the Company's
Board of Directors has adopted a Stockholder's Rights Plan, pursuant to which
rights to acquire a newly created series of Preferred Stock, exercisable upon
the occurrence of certain events, were distributed to its stockholders. The
existence of these provisions may have a negative impact on the price of the
Common Stock, may discourage third party bidders from making a bid for the
Company, or may reduce any premiums paid to stockholders for their Common Stock.
In addition, the Board has the authority to affix the rights and preferences of,
and to issue shares of, the Company's Preferred Stock, which may have the effect
of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company without action by
its stockholders.
Shares Eligible for Future Sale. Future sales of shares by existing
stockholders under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, or through the exercise of
outstanding registration rights or the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon
the exercise of options or warrants could materially adversely affect the market
price of shares of Common Stock and could materially impair the Company's future
ability to raise capital through an offering of equity securities.

<PAGE>
Substantially all of the Company's outstanding shares, other than those held by
affiliates, are transferable without restriction under the Securities Act. Not
including the Shares registered on behalf of Newhouse in the Registration
Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part, the Company has filed
registration statements covering the offering of approximately 2,196,689 shares
of Common Stock by selling security holders. In addition, the Company has
registered 1,346,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance upon exercise of
options granted to its employees under the Company's 1992 Stock Plan and
1,500,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the Long-Term
Incentive Plan. Options to acquire 369,197 shares of Common Stock were currently
exercisable under the 1992 Stock Plan at July 10, 1996. No predictions can be
made as to the effect, if any, that market sales of such shares or the
availability of such shares for future sale will have on the market price of
shares of Common Stock prevailing from time to time.

THE COMPANY
ICI is a rapidly growing provider of integrated telecommunication services.
Founded in 1987 as one of the nation's first CAPS, the Company currently
operates digital, fiber optic networks in nine metropolitan areas and has one
network under development. Expanding beyond provision of traditional CAP
Services, the Company now provides enhanced network services, including frame
relay and Internet access services, primarily to business and government
customers, in approximately 695 cities nationwide, and is a facilities-based
interexchange carrier providing services, to approximately 10,782 customers. ICI
intends to begin providing a range of local exchange services in Florida in the
second half of 1996 and in other parts of its service territory as requisite
approvals are obtained. ICI has continued to increase its customer base and
network density in the Southeast and its customers' traffic to locations outside
its existing service territory continues to increase. The Company has pursued
(and will continue to pursue) attractive opportunities to expand into other
geographic markets.
The Company's goal is to become the single source provider of comprehensive
telecommunications services to its customers. To accomplish this goal, the
Company's strategy is to systematically secure a growing portion of a customer's
telecommunications business and, over time, through the provision of additional
integrated services, increase the customer's reliance on, and sense of
partnership with, the Company. In addition, with the advent of state and federal
laws mandating local exchange competition, significant opportunities exist for
the Company to increase its market share and reach new market segments by
allowing other parties, including IXCs, to resell the Company's local exchange
services, when available.
ICI's strategy is designed to build a base of recurring revenues and to
take advantage of the increasing requirements of business and government
customers for more effective and efficient solutions to their telecommunications
needs. These customers require maximum reliability, high quality service, broad
geographic coverage (including end-to-end connectivity), solutions-oriented
customer service and timely introduction of innovative services. These customers
also demand that services be delivered in a cost-effective manner and,
preferably, from a single source. The Company is well positioned to satisfy such
customer requirements due to (i) the successful negotiation of interconnection
co-carrier agreements for Florida with BellSouth Telecommunication, Inc.
("BellSouth"), GTE Florida Incorporated ("GTE") and Sprint United Telephone-
Florida/Central-Florida ("Sprint-United") and the implementation of network to
network interfaces ("NNIs") for frame relay data transmission with each of such
carriers, (ii) a specialized sales and service approach employing engineering
and sales professionals who design and implement customized, cost-effective
telecommunications solutions, (iii) the ongoing development and integration of
new telecommunications services and (iv) the strategic deployment of voice and
data switches and digital fiber optic networks designed with redundancy and
diversity.
In December 1994, the Company acquired Phone One, Inc. ("Phone One"), a
facilities-based interexchange carrier providing services to customers primarily
located in Florida and Georgia. In July 1995, the Company consummated its
acquisition of FiberNet thereby expanding its fiber optic networks into four
additional metropolitan areas. On February 20, 1996, the Company entered into an
agreement to purchase the telecommunications division of EMI, for 937,500 shares
of ICI Common Stock. EMI's telecommunications division, headquartered in
Syracuse, New York, is a provider of frame relay based network services and
interexchange private line services primarily over digital microwave networks in
the northeastern United States. For the year ended December 31, 1995, EMI's
revenues were approximately $43 million and the combined pro forma revenues of
ICI and EMI were approximately $82 million. The EMI Acquisition was consummated
on June 28, 1996. The FiberNet, Phone One and EMI acquisitions have allowed ICI
to (i) expand its customer base and increase its exposure to additional
interregional customers, (ii) introduce additional business customers to all of
the Company's service offerings, (iii) add long distance to its portfolio of
service offerings, (iv) reduce costs by eliminating overlapping facilities and
removing duplicate NNIs and (v) create synergies between long distance and local
service offerings such as economies of scale, usage sensitive billing
capabilities and cross-selling opportunities.

Subject to receipt by the Company of the requisite approvals, the Company
intends to deploy switching equipment to provide local exchange and switched
access services in each of its principal markets. These new switches will also
augment the Company's interexchange services. The Company recently began to
deploy such switching equipment in Florida and intends to deploy four switches
in Florida during 1996. In addition, the Company is the first alternative local
exchange carrier to enter into interconnection co-carrier agreements for Florida
with each of BellSouth, GTE and Sprint-United, the three major providers of
local exchange services in Florida, which provide for reciprocal rights to
terminate traffic on each other's networks. Based upon Federal Communications
Commission ("FTC") data and the Company's knowledge of the industry, the Company
estimates that the market for local network services in 1995 was $5.0 billion in
Florida, and $95 billion in the United States, substantially all of which is
currently served by LECs.
The Company has nine digital, fiber optic networks in service and one under
development in a total of ten metropolitan areas. As of March 31, 1996, this
infrastructure was comprised of 20,541 fiber miles and 561 route miles and was
connected to 389 buildings. ICI continues to expand these networks and has
identified expansion opportunities in other selected markets. This expansion
should enable the Company to (i) achieve local exchange services, (ii) more
effectively service customers that have a presence in multiple metropolitan
areas and (iii) reach a significant number of new customers.
The Company has also undertaken a major expansion of its intercity network
to satisfy the growing demands for enhanced network services, including frame
relay networking services, ATM and Internet access. As a result, the Company had
approximately 2,537 nodes, serving customer locations in 695 cities as of March
31, 1996 (not including the approximately 1,500 nodes in approximately 400
cities served by EMI), as compared to approximately 1,221 nodes, serving
customer locations in 403 cities as of March 31, 1995. Enhanced network
services, which are currently provided primarily on the Company's frame relay
network, are specialized interexchange services offered by the Company for
customers that need to transport large amounts of data among multiple locations.
To address the growing demand for end-to-end connectivity and interoperability
throughout the United States, in 1994, ICI created, in conjunction with EMI and
three other regional telecommunications companies, the UniSPAN/(C)/ consortium.
This consortium, along with ICI's relationship with certain other carriers,
allows the Company to terminate traffic both nationally and internationally
utilizing other companies' networks and provides a flow of traffic onto the
Company's networks. In addition, to further increase efficient access to a
greater customer base, ICI and EMI have successfully established approximately
100 NNIs which interconnect their frame relay networks to those of BellSouth,
Bell Atlantic Telephone Companies, Sprint-United, NYNEX Corporation, Ameritech
Operating Companies, Southern New England Telephone Company, GTE and other
carriers. According to industry sources, the frame relay services market is
projected to grow at the rate of 84% per year through 1997 from its 1993 base of
$144 million; however, there can be no assurance that such market growth will be
realized or that the assumptions underlying such projections are reliable.
ICI was incorporated in the State of Delaware on November 9, 1987, as the
successor to a Florida corporation that was founded in 1986. The Company's
principal offices are located at 3625 Queen Palm Drive, Tampa, Florida 33619,
and its telephone number is (813) 621-0011.

1 Based upon information contained in filings made by Newhouse with the
Commission. Under the rules of the Commission, a person is deemed to be the
beneficial owner of a security if such person has or shares the power to
vote or direct the voting of such security or the power to dispose or
direct the disposition of such security. A person is also deemed to be a
beneficial owner of any securities if that person has the right to acquire
beneficial ownership within 60 days. Accordingly, more than one person may
be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities. Newhouse has
sole voting and investment power with respect to the Shares.
The Shares owned by Newhouse represent all of the Shares covered by the
Registration Statement.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Shares may be offered by Newhouse in transactions in the over-the-
counter-market at prices obtainable at the time of sale or in privately
negotiated transactions at prices determined by negotiation. Newhouse may effect
such transactions by selling the Shares to or through securities broker-dealers,
and such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts,
concessions or commissions from Newhouse and/or the purchasers of the Shares for
whom such broker-dealers may act as agent or to whom they sell as principal, or
both (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of
customary commissions). Additionally, agents or dealers may acquire Shares or
interests therein as a pledgee and may, from time to time, effect distributions
of the Shares or interests in such capacity.
Newhouse, the brokers and dealers through whom sales of the Shares are made
and any agent or dealer who distributes Shares acquired as pledgee may be deemed
to be "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act,
and any commissions received by them and profit on any resale of the Shares
might be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the
Securities Act.

ITEM 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Company will
to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware (the "GCL"), as amended from time to time, indemnify all persons whom
it may indemnify pursuant thereto. The Company's By-laws contain a similar
provision requiring indemnification of the Company's directors and officers to
the fullest extent authorized by the GCL. The GCL permits a corporation to
indemnify its directors and officers (among others) against expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by them in connection with any action, suit or proceeding
brought (or threatened to be brought) by third parties, if such directors or
officers acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in
or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct
was unlawful. In a derivative action, i.e., one by or in the right of the
----
corporation, indemnification may be made for expenses (including attorneys'
fees) actually and reasonably incurred by directors and officers in connection
with the defense or settlement of such action if they had acted in good faith
and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in
respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been
adjudged liable to the Company unless and only to the extent that the Court of
Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine
upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all
the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses. The GCL further provides that, to the extent any
director or officer has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of
any action, suit or proceeding referred to in this paragraph, or in defense of
any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against
expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection therewith. In addition, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation
contains a provision limiting the personal liability of the Company's directors
for monetary damages for certain breaches of their fiduciary duty. The Company
has indemnification insurance under which directors and officers are insured
against certain liability that may occur in their capacity as such.

ITEM 17. Undertakings.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(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;
(ii) To reflect in the Prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration
Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the 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 end 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;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or
any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (i) and (ii) above do not apply if the
- -------- -------
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Company pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference in this Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment 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) 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.
(4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable,
II-2
<PAGE>
each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section
15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this
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 directors, officers and controlling persons
of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has 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 registrant
of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
registrant 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, the registrant 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.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Intermedia Communications Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with its Registration Statement on
Form S-3, filed pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Registration Statement"), relating to the proposed public offering of 937,500
shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), of the
Company.
In that connection, we have reviewed the Restated Certificate of
Incorporation of the Company, its Bylaws, resolutions of its Board of Directors
and such other documents and records as we have deemed necessary and relevant as
a basis for our opinions hereinafter set forth. For the purposes of this
letter, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures and the conformity to
original documents of all instruments furnished to us for review or examination
as copies.
We are members of the Bar of the State of New York and, for purposes
of the opinions expressed in this letter, do not hold ourselves out as experts

Delaware.
Based on the foregoing and having regard to such legal considerations
as we have deemed relevant, it is our opinion that the Common Stock has been
duly authorized and validly issued and is fully paid and non-assessable.
