AT&T Merger Update
The Company is progressing in meeting its timetable for
the approvals of its merger with AT&T Corp. and has
completed all of the initial domestic regulatory filings,
including for the Federal Communications Commission
("FCC"), Department of Justice ("DOJ"), 8 states and
approximately 940 local franchising authorities. The
Company has also filed confidentially with the Securities
and Exchange Commission ("SEC") a joint preliminary
proxy/prospectus. Following SEC review, the proxy will
be made publicly available and sent to all AT&T and TCI
shareowners. The Company still expects the AT&T merger
to close in the first half of 1999.
