The business address of the reporting person is 200 Concord Plaza,
Suite 600, San Antonio, Texas 78216.
CCI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Clear Channel Communications, Inc.
("Clear Channel"), and is primarily engaged in the business of making strategic

None of CCI, Clear Channel or, to the best of CCI's knowledge, any of the

five years been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations
or similar misdemeanors) or been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction which resulted in a judgment,
decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or
mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any
violations with respect to such laws.
CCI is a corporation formed under the laws of the State of Nevada, and
Clear Channel is a corporation formed under the laws of the State of Texas. To
the best knowledge of CCI, all of its executive officers and directors, as well
as those of Clear Channel, are United States citizens.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
8,089,877 shares of Common Stock were acquired by CCI from the Issuer upon
conversion of a convertible subordinated note previously issued to CCI by the
Issuer. An additional 240,000 shares of Common Stock were purchased by CCI with
working capital in the Issuer's initial public offering.
Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.
CCI holds its interest in the Issuer for investment purposes. CCI intends to
continuously review its position in the Issuer and, depending on future
evaluations of the business prospects of the Issuer and on other developments,
including but not limited to general economic and business conditions and stock
market conditions, CCI may retain or from time to time increase its holdings or
dispose of all or a portion of its holdings in the Issuer, subject to any
restrictions on its ability to do so.
Except as may be set forth in this Schedule 13D, CCI has no present plans or
proposals which relate to or would result in: (a) any acquisition by any person
of additional securities of the Issuer, or any disposition of securities of the
Issuer; (b) any extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger,
reorganization or liquidation involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;
(c) any sale or transfer of material amounts of assets of the Issuer or any of
its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the Issuer's present Board of Directors or
management, including any plan or proposals to change the number or term of
directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board; (e) any material
change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any
other material change in the Issuer's business or corporate structure; (g) any
changes in the Issuer's charter, by-laws or corresponding instruments or other
actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person;
(h) any delisting from a national securities exchange or any loss of
authorization for quotation in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered
national securities association of a class of securities of the Issuer; (i) any
termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, of any class of equity securities of the
Issuer; or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
As of the date hereof, CCI beneficially owns 8,329,877 shares of
the Common Stock, and such shares constitute approximately 31.9% of the
issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock as of the date hereof.
CCI has sole voting and dispositive power over its shares of Common Stock,
which are entitled to one vote per share on each matter submitted for
stockholder approval. The Issuer also has outstanding 6,689,250 shares of
Class B common stock, all of which are held by another investor, which are
entitled to three votes per share on each matter submitted for stockholder
approval and which are convertible into shares of Common Stock on a
one-for-one basis subject to antidilution protection if the Issuer effects
a recapitalization. As a result, CCI's Common Stock presently represents
18.04% of the votes entitled to be cast in any matter submitted for
stockholder approval. In addition, the Issuer also has outstanding
10,715,310 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock, all of which is
held by other investors. The Series A convertible preferred stock does not
have any voting rights, but it is convertible at the election of the holder
into shares of Common Stock on a one-for-one basis.
CCI may be deemed to be a member of a group (within the meaning of
Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
("Exchange Act")) with the following entities by virtue of a Shareholders
Agreement to which CCI is a party dated July 7, 1999 ("Shareholders

Enterprises, Inc. ("DIRECTV"); (3) American Mobile Satellite Corporation

Special Equity III, L.P. ("M-D Special Equity"), and Special Advisors Fund
I, L.L.C. ("Special Advisors," and, together with M-D Capital Partners and
M-D Special Equity, "Madison Dearborn"). CCI expressly disclaims beneficial
ownership of the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer held by General
Motors, DIRECTV, American Mobile, Columbia, Telcom, or Madison Dearborn,
and the filing of this Schedule 13D by CCI shall not be construed as an
admission by CCI that it is, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act, the beneficial owner of any of the shares of Common Stock of the
Issuer held by General Motors, DIRECTV, American Mobile, Columbia, Telcom
or Madison Dearborn.
On October 8, 1999, CCI acquired from the Issuer in a private placement
8,089,877 shares of Common Stock upon conversion of a $75,000,000 principal
amount (plus accrued interest) convertible subordinated note previously issued
to CCI by the Issuer, at a conversion price of approximately $9.52 per share.
