Insight Communications and AT&T Broadband Expand Insight Midwest Partnership

ENGLEWOOD, Colo., and NEW YORK – January 05, 2001 –

Insight Communications and AT&T Broadband have closed the previously announced expansion of their 50-50 partnership, known as Insight Midwest, the companies said today.

The series of transactions nearly doubled the size of Insight Midwest by adding 530,000 customers. Insight contributed its interests in 280,000 subscribers not previously in the partnership (including systems it purchased from AT&T), and AT&T contributed 250,000 subscribers. The expanded joint venture will continue to be managed by Insight and owned 50-50 by the two companies.

“We are very excited about this expansion,” said Michael S. Willner, Insight’s president and chief executive officer. “The addition of these customers further solidifies our strong operational footprint in the Midwest, and we are looking forward to carrying out our high levels of employee commitment and customer service in these communities.”

“Illinois customers will be well served by this partnership,” said Dan Somers, president and chief executive officer of AT&T Broadband. “The expansion of our joint venture demonstrates our continued commitment to offering these customers the highest quality of services.”
