HIGHLIGHTS:
* WinStar announced this morning (25-May) commercial availability of its
Wireless Fiber network in Amsterdam. This marks WinStar's first
European network and first international market to come on-line.

* LUCENT TAKING POINT: In WinStar's international markets, Lucent will
be designing, constructing, and maintaining WinStar's data-centric
networks, as well as providing the financing through its previously-
disclosed $2 billion credit facility.

* BUILD-OUT ON SCHEDULE: WinStar remains on track, we believe, to reach
6 international markets by YE1999 (ultimately to be in the top 50
markets globally). We note that WinStar has adopted a data-centric
strategy overseas to reduce up-front costs and capitalize on the
growing demand for data services such as Internet access, frame relay
and ATM, and private line services.

* MARK YOUR CALENDARS: ON THURSDAY, JUNE 3, 1999, WINSTAR IS SCHEDULED
TO APPEAR AT THE BT ALEX. BROWN EUROPEAN HIGH-YIELD AND CREDIT
PRODUCTS CONFERENCE IN LONDON, ENGLAND TO DISCUSS ITS INTERNATIONAL
ROLL-OUT PLANS (ADVANCED RADIO TELECOM IS ALSO ON THE LIST OF
SCHEDULED SPEAKERS THAT SAME DAY).

* NET-NET: This is just the first step in a long process to develop a
global broadband network, but an important step nonetheless. WinStar
faces the challenge of aggregating spectrum in each of its target
markets, although we are very comfortable with WinStar's ability to
meet the 6-market goal for 1999. We are maintaining our "strong buy
(1)" rating with a DCF-derived 12-month price objective of $63/share.
