Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

         Item 3 is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

         Prior to November 1992, all of Singapore Telecom's holdings of Common
Stock were held indirectly through Mtel Space Technologies, L.P. ("Mtel L.P."),
a Delaware partnership in which Singapore Telecom's legal predecessor was a
limited partner until November 1992. 2/ The sole assets of Mtel L.P. were shares
of Common Stock. Singapore Telecom provided funds to Mtel L.P. both by
purchasing limited partnership units in Mtel L.P. ("Mtel LPUs") and by
purchasing convertible debentures issued by Mtel L.P. (the "Mtel Convertible
Debentures"). The Mtel Convertible Debentures were, subject to certain
conditions, convertible into Mtel LPUs which, upon conversion, were to be
redeemed immediately for shares of Common Stock held of record by Mtel L.P.

         At the time Mtel L.P. was restructured in November 1992, Singapore
Telecom had contributed $6,667,000 to Mtel L.P. through the purchase of Mtel
LPUs and had loaned Mtel L.P. $24,266,355 through the purchase of Mtel
Convertible Debentures. All such funds came from the working capital of
Singapore Telecom.

         As part of the Mtel L.P. restructuring, all Mtel LPUs held by Singapore
Telecom were redeemed for shares of Common Stock, and a portion of the Mtel
Convertible Debentures held by Singapore Telecom were converted. After the
restructuring, Singapore Telecom held directly 467,810 shares of Common Stock
(equivalent to 1,116,363 shares of Common Stock after the December 1993 stock
split by the Issuer). In addition, Singapore Telecom continued to hold
$14,660,015 principal amount of Mtel Convertible Debentures that, upon
conversion into Mtel LPUs, were to be redeemed immediately by Mtel L.P. for
318,841 shares (760,869 post-split shares) of Common Stock held of record by
Mtel L.P.

         On December 20, 1993, Singapore Telecom engaged in the transactions
that required the filing of an initial

- ---------
         1/    Amending the Amended and Restated Schedule 13D dated December 28,
               1995.

         2/    In April 1992, pursuant to the Telecommunication Authority of
               Singapore Act 1992, Singapore Telecom became the successor in
               interest to telecommunications businesses owned by the
               Telecommunication Authority of Singapore (which continues to
               exercise regulatory oversight over those businesses). Unless
               otherwise indicated by the context, "Singapore Telecom" will be
               used to refer both to Singapore Telecommunications Limited and to
               its legal predecessor.

                                                                               5

statement on Schedule 13D. On that date, Singapore Telecom purchased from the
issuer 911,854 shares of Common Stock for a cash purchase price of $18 million.
The funds used to make this purchase came from the working capital of Singapore
Telecom.

         On that same date, 1,317,460 shares were issued to Singapore Telecom by
the Issuer upon conversion by Singapore Telecom of $27,666,667 principal amount
of subordinated convertible notes previously issued by the Issuer to Singapore
Telecom. The Singapore Telecom funds loaned to the Issuer in connection with
such convertible notes ($20 million in August 1992 and $7,666,667 in October
1993) came from the working capital of Singapore Telecom.

         In December 1995, Singapore Telecom delivered to Mtel L.P. a notice of
conversion with respect to the remaining Mtel Convertible Debentures. Upon
conversion, Singapore Telecom received 8,451.71 Mtel LPUs that, as noted above,
were to be redeemed immediately by Mtel L.P. in exchange for 760,869 shares of
Common Stock held of record by Mtel L.P. On December 27, 1995, Mtel L.P.
redeemed the 8,451.71 Mtel LPUs and directed the Issuer to transfer the 760,869
shares of Common Stock to Singapore Telecom (effective as of that date).

         On July 1, 1996, upon the closing of a set of agreements providing
long-term bank financing for the Issuer's subsidiary, Singapore Telecom received
a warrant from the Issuer entitling it, through June 28, 2001, to purchase
625,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $24 per share (the
"Original Warrant"). The Original Warrant was received as part of the
consideration for Singapore Telecom's guaranty of up to $25 million in principal
amount of such long-term financing. The number of shares of Common Stock for
which the Original Warrant could be exercised was limited to the extent that
certain financial performance tests restricted the ability of the Issuer's
subsidiary to borrow under the long-term financing arrangements. As of July 1,
1996, the Original Warrant was exercisable for only 406,250 shares of Common
Stock.

         On March 27, 1997, Singapore Telecom and the other guarantors of the
long-term financing agreed to eliminate these financial performance tests that
restricted the borrowing ability of the Issuer's subsidiary. As part of this
agreement, Singapore Telecom's warrant was amended (the "Amended Warrant") so as
to entitle the holder to purchase 687,500 shares of Common Stock at an exercise
price of $13 per share. The Amended Warrant was exercisable in full as of March
27, 1997.

         On March 31, 1998, as part of the consideration for Singapore Telecom's
guaranty of up to $25 million in principal amount of restructured long-term
financing
<PAGE>

                                                                               6

extended to the Issuer and the Issuer's subsidiary by lending institutions, (a)
the Amended Warrant was further amended so as to change the exercise price to
$12.51 per share and the expiration date to March 31, 2005, and (b) Singapore
Telecom received another warrant from the Issuer entitling it, through March 31,
2005, to purchase 125,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $12.51
per share ("Warrant No. 2"). Both the Amended Warrant and Warrant No. 2 were
exercisable in full as of March 31, 1998.

         On March 29, 1999, Singapore Telecom and the other guarantors of the
restructured long-term financing agreed to eliminate certain financial covenants
applicable to the Issuer and the Issuer's subsidiary. As part of the
consideration for the elimination of the financial covenants, the Amended
Warrant and Warrant No. 2 were each amended on April 1, 1999 so as to change the
exercise price to $7.50 per share.

         In early August 1999, as the result of a public stock offering by the
Issuer that triggered anti-dilution provisions in the Amended Warrant and
Warrant No. 2, the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Amended
Warrant and Warrant No. 2 could be exercised was increased slightly, and the
exercise price under each warrant was decreased slightly. As a result of this
adjustment, the aggregate number of warrant shares covered by the Amended
Warrant and Warrant No. 2 was changed to 828,281, and the exercise price was
changed to $7.3571 per share.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

         Item 5 is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(a) Singapore Telecom owns beneficially 4,367,927 shares of Common Stock. Of
this amount, 3,539,646 shares of Common Stock are owned of record by Singapore
Telecom, and 828,281 shares of Common Stock could be obtained by Singapore
Telecom upon exercise in full of the Amended Warrant and Warrant No. 2. As noted
in Item 2 above, Singapore Telecom is approximately 80% owned by Temasek. The
filing of this Statement should not, however, be construed as an admission that
Temasek is, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act, the beneficial owner of
any of the Common Stock beneficially owned by Singapore Telecom.

         Based upon the information supplied by the Issuer, the 4,367,927 shares
of Common Stock beneficially owned by Singapore Telecom constitute approximately
8.9% of the Common Stock outstanding as of September 30, 1999. 3/

- ---------
         3/    For the purpose of computing this percentage, the Amended Warrant
               and Warrant No. 2 were
                                                                  (continued...)

         To the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the persons
listed in Schedule I or II beneficially own or have the right to acquire shares
of Common Stock.

         The Reporting Persons may be deemed to comprise a group (within the
meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act) with the following entities by virtue of
certain agreements described in Item 6 below: (1) Hughes Electronics Corporation
("Hughes Electronics") and Hughes Communications Satellite Services, Inc.
("Hughes" and, together with Hughes Electronics, the "Hughes Entities"), an
indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Hughes Electronics; and (2) Space
Technologies Investments, Inc. ("Investments") and the following affiliates of
Investments: Transit Communications, Inc., and Satellite Communications
Investments Corporation (collectively with Investments, the "AT&T Entities"). 4/

         The Reporting Persons expressly disclaim beneficial ownership of shares
of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Hughes Entities and the AT&T Entities,
and the filing of this statement by the Reporting Persons shall not be construed
as an admission by the Reporting Persons that either of them is, for purposes of
Section 13(d) of the Act, the beneficial owner of any of the shares of Common
Stock held by the Hughes Entities or the AT&T Entities.

         Based upon information supplied by the Issuer, the Reporting Persons
believe that the Hughes Entities and the AT&T Entities beneficially own the
number of shares of Common Stock set forth in the table below as of September
30, 1999, constituting in each case that percentage of the outstanding Common
Stock set forth in the table:

               deemed to be exercised in full and the shares of Common Stock
               issuable upon such exercise were deemed to be outstanding.

         4/    Prior to the conversion of the remaining Mtel Convertible
               Debentures in December 1995, and the resulting transfer of the
               760,869 shares of Common Stock from Mtel L.P. to Singapore
               Telecom, the following entities might also have been deemed to be
               part of such group: Mtel L.P., Mtel Space Technologies
               Corporation ("Mtel Corp.") (Mtel L.P.'s general partner), and
               Mtel Technologies, Inc. ("Mtel Corp. Affiliate") (Mtel L.P.'s
               limited partner) (collectively, the "Mtel Group").
