(1) Results are shown on a reported basis.
At December 31, 1998, GTE had a 50.8% ownership interest in
BC TELECOM. On January 31, 1999, BC TELECOM and TELUS
Corporation merged to form a public company called TELUS.
GTE's ownership interest in the merged company, TELUS, is
26.7% and, as such, during the first quarter of 1999, GTE
changed the accounting for its investment from full
consolidation to the equity method. Certain decreases in
the assets and liabilities from December 31, 1998 are
primarily driven by the impacts of this transaction.
(2) At December 31, 1998 the amount reflects net assets held
for sale associated with GTE Government Systems and Airfone.
At December 31, 1998, the net book value of the approximately

has been reclassified to 'Net assets held for sale'. At
December 31, 1999 the amount reflects net assets
held for sale associated with GTE Airfone and the 1.6
million access lines.
