AT&T ANNOUNCES PLAN TO COMPLY WITH
MEDIAONE MERGER CONDITIONS

Company will  "insulate" its interest in Time Warner  Entertainment  by shedding
Liberty Media Group; make other programming interests non-attributable

FOR RELEASE FRIDAY, DECEMBER 15, 2000
         WASHINGTON - AT&T told the Federal  Communications  Commission today it
intends to fulfill its MediaOne  merger  conditions  by spinning off the Liberty
Media Group. The company will also take the other steps needed to ensure that it
will not have  attributable  interests,  under the FCC's rules,  in providers of
video programming purchased by Time Warner Entertainment (TWE).
         As a result, AT&T said, its limited partnership interest in TWE will no
         longer be  attributable  to AT&T  under the FCC's  rules.  AT&T,  which
         announced  Nov. 15 its  intention to spin off Liberty  contingent  upon
         receiving a favorable tax ruling, said it
has already begun the process of seeking that ruling.  Aside from Liberty,  AT&T
has interests in certain other video  programming  entities that sell to TWE and
the company is working to make those interests non-attributable as well.
         In the event AT&T can't  complete  these  measures by the May 19, 2001,
deadline,  the company said it will either divest its ownership  interest in TWE
or place this interest in an irrevocable trust in order to sell it.
         "We're diligently  following through on what we said we'd do," said Jim
Cicconi,  AT&T general  counsel.  "We will be in compliance with our obligations
under the merger  conditions and, as required,  we've given the FCC an insurance
policy to make sure it gets done by  committing to put our TWE interest in trust
if need be.






         "Beyond  that,  it's  probably a good time to look at our cable mergers
from a consumer's perspective.  Naturally,  the FCC expects consumer benefits --
and so do we. I'm  gratified  to say that the  benefits we promised  and the FCC
anticipated  in both the TCI and  MediaOne  mergers are coming to  fruition.  In
particular,  we've met our goal for 2000 by using our upgraded cable  facilities
to allow more than half a million consumers to break free from their local phone
monopolies,  and we continue to expand our offering of  competitive  local phone
service.  We're  also well on our way to  fulfilling  our  promise  to offer our
customers a choice of ISPs on our cable systems.  We've got one ISP Choice trial
under way and another is planned.  We're  justifiably  proud of our  progress to
date and hope the FCC is as pleased as we are."
