                AT&T Announces Changes to its Board of Directors

BEDMINSTER, N.J. - AT&T today announced the election of William F. Aldinger, III
to its board of directors and the resignation of Amos B. Hostetter, Jr. from the
board.

Aldinger,  56, is Chairman and CEO of Household  International,  a subsidiary of
HSBC Holdings plc, one of the world's largest financial services companies.

Aldinger joined  Household as president and chief executive  officer in 1994. He
graduated  from The Baruch  School of City College of New York in 1969,  and the
Brooklyn Law School, where he received his law degree in 1975. He is a member of
the New York Bar.

Aldinger serves on the boards of directors of Mastercard International, Illinois
Tool Works, Inc., the combined board of directors of Children's Memorial Medical
Center/Children's  Memorial  Hospital and the  Children's  Memorial  Foundation.
Aldinger  is a  member  of the  board  of  directors  of  Evanston  Northwestern
Healthcare.  In  addition,  he  serves on the board of  trustees  of the  Baruch
College Fund and Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry.

"Bill brings a wealth of business  experience and insight to the AT&T board, and
we're  pleased  that he's  joining us at this time," said AT&T  Chairman and CEO
David W. Dorman.

Hostetter decided to resign for personal reasons,  AT&T said. "I'd like to thank
Amos for his  contributions  to the board since joining it in 1999.  His insight
and expertise were invaluable in guiding us though a major  restructuring of the
company," Dorman said.

With the addition of Aldinger and the  departure  of  Hostetter,  the AT&T board
remains at nine members.
