SCHEDULE 13G - TO BE INCLUDED IN STATEMENTS
FILED PURSUANT TO RULE 13d-1(b) or 13d-2(b)
Pursuant to instructions in Item 7 of Schedule 13G, this Exhibit has
been
prepared to identify Fidelity International Limited, Pembroke Hall, 42 Crow
Lane, Hamilton, Bermuda, a Bermudan joint stock company incorporated for an
unlimited duration by private act of the Bermuda Legislature (FIL) and an
investment adviser to various investment companies (the "International Funds")
and certain institutional investors, as a beneficial owner of the 10,000
shares or 0.01% of the common stock outstanding of DSC Communications
Corporation.
Prior to June 30, 1980, FIL was a majority-owned subsidiary of Fidelity
Management & Research Company (Fidelity), a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMR
Corp. On that date, the shares of FIL held by Fidelity were distributed, as a
dividend, to the shareholders of FMR Corp. FIL currently operates as an
entity independent of FMR Corp. and Fidelity. The International Funds and
FIL's other clients, with the exception of Fidelity and an affiliated company
of Fidelity, are non-U.S. entities.
A partnership controlled by Edward C. Johnson 3d and members of his
family owns shares of FIL voting stock with the right to cast approximately
39.89% of the total votes which may be cast by all holders of FIL voting
stock. Mr. Johnson 3d is Chairman of FMR Corp. and FIL. FMR Corp. and FIL
are separate and independent corporate entities, and their Boards of Directors
are generally composed of different individuals. Other than when one serves
as a sub adviser to the other, their investment decisions are made
independently, and their clients are generally different organizations.
FMR Corp. and FIL are of the view that they are not acting as a "group"
for purposes of Section 13(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
"1934" Act) and that they are not otherwise required to attribute to each
other the "beneficial ownership" of securities "beneficially owned" by the
other corporation within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the 1934
Act. Therefore, they are of the view that the shares held by the other
corporation need not be aggregated for purposes of Section 13(d). However, FMR
Corp. is making this filing on a voluntary basis as if all of the shares are
beneficially owned by FMR Corp. and FIL on a joint basis.
FIL may continue to have the International Funds or other accounts
purchase shares subject to a number of factors, including, among others, the
availability of shares for sale at what FIL considers to be reasonable prices
and other investment opportunities that may be available to the International
Funds.
FIL intends to review continuously the equity position of the
International Funds and other accounts in the Company. Depending upon its
future evaluations of the business and prospects of the Company and upon other
developments, including, but not limited to, general economic and business
conditions and money market and stock market conditions, FIL may determine to
cease making additional purchases of shares or to increase or decrease the
equity interest in the Company by acquiring additional shares, or by disposing
of all or a portion of the shares.
FIL does not have a present plan or proposal which relates to or would
result in (i) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger,
reorganization, liquidation, or sale or transfer of a material amount of
assets involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) any change in
the Company's present Board of Directors or management, (iii) any material
changes in the Company's present capitalization or dividend policy or any
other material change in the Company's business or corporate structure, (iv)
any change in the Company's charter or by-laws, or (v) the Company's common
stock becoming eligible for termination of its registration pursuant to
Section 12(g)(4) of the 1934 Act.
FIL has the sole power to vote and the sole power to dispose of 10,000
shares.
