Forward Looking Statements Warning
- ----------------------------------

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains projections and other forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements may differ
materially from actual future events or results. Readers are referred to the
documents filed by Qwest with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
specifically the most recent reports which identify important risk factors that
could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking
statements, including potential fluctuations in quarterly results, volatility of
Qwest's stock price, intense competition in the communications services market,
changes in demand for Qwest's products and services, dependence on new product
development and acceleration of the deployment of advanced new services, such as
broadband data, wireless and video services, which could require substantial
expenditure of financial and other resources in excess of contemplated levels,
higher than anticipated employee levels, capital expenditures and operating
expenses, rapid and significant changes in technology and markets, adverse
changes in the regulatory or legislative environment affecting Qwest's business,
delays in Qwest's ability to provide interLATA services within its 14-state
local service territory, failure to maintain rights of way, and failure to
achieve the projected synergies and financial results expected to result from
the acquisition of U S WEST, Inc. timely or at all and difficulties in combining
the operations of Qwest and U S WEST, which could affect Qwest's revenues,
levels of expenses and operating results. The information contained in this
Current Report on Form 8-K is a statement of Qwest's present intention and is
based upon, among other things, the existing regulatory environment, industry
conditions, market conditions and prices, the economy in general and Qwest's
assumptions. Qwest may change its intentions, at any time and without notice,
based upon any changes in such factors, in Qwest's assumptions or otherwise.
This Current Report on Form 8-K includes analysts' estimates and other
information prepared by third parties for which Qwest assumes no responsibility.
Qwest undertakes no obligation to review or confirm analysts' expectations or
estimates or to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements
to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the
occurrence of unanticipated events.

By including any information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, Qwest does not
necessarily acknowledge that disclosure of such information is required by
applicable law or that the information is material.
