Cox to Launch Next Generation Bundle With Wireless in 2009

Cox Communications announced its
plan to add wireless offerings to its bundle of award-winning entertainment
and communications services, such as digital cable, high-speed Internet and
telephone in 2009. The company is delivering on its promise to enable
residential and business customers to take their Cox services with them
wherever they go. Today's news marks another innovative milestone in the
company's history. In 1997, Cox was the first company to introduce a voice,
video and data bundle to the marketplace. Today, more than 64% of Cox
customers buy multiple services from Cox and one-third subscribe to all three
products.

"Wireless service will be a key driver to Cox's future growth," said Pat
Esser, president of Cox Communications. "As wireless communications enters the
new generation, we are uniquely positioned to deliver the entertainment and
communications services our customers want, whenever, however and wherever
they want them. Our bundled customers will become even 'stickier' as we offer
them the best customer experience. To deliver the best customer experience, we
will manage every aspect of the service, from product development to marketing
and sales to back-office operations and customer support and billing."

Cox will utilize the Nationwide Sprint Network to quickly enter the market
in 2009. At the same time, Cox is concurrently building its own 3G wireless
network for additional market launches in 2009. Cox will also test 4G
technology utilizing LTE (long term evolution). Earlier this year, Cox joined
CTIA (the international association for the wireless telecommunications
industry), the Rural Cellular Association and CDMA Development Group (CDG).

In recent years, Cox successfully acquired wireless spectrum in Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) Auctions. "We've already invested more than
$500 million to acquire wireless spectrum and to develop the infrastructure
and human resources needed to architect our own advanced wireless service,"
said Esser. "Our commitment is firm, and the wireless services we deliver
will further the Cox experience. As consumers are increasingly adopting a
mobile lifestyle, we will continue to deliver in ways that are uniquely Cox
- offering the first truly integrated bundle that is easy-to-use, reliable and
supported by the best customer service available."

"Cox understands the importance of leveraging content across the
television, computer and mobile device," said J. Gerry Purdy, Ph.D., vice
president & chief analyst, Mobile and Wireless at Frost & Sullivan. "Given its
existing business operations, Cox is well positioned to extend its local
market assets for wireless and leverage its existing customer relationships in
the markets it serves. This strategy is very similar to the company's
successful entry into the landline telephone business more than 10 years ago."

Cox research indicates that consumers want a simple and easy-to-use
wireless service that will integrate easily with their lifestyle. Management
and delivery of converged content is at the core of Cox's wireless strategy.
Cox customers will be able to use their mobile phone to access television
favorites, program their DVR, access content saved on their home computer and
simplify their lives with enhanced voice features.

"We are in the business of making it simpler and easier for people to
enjoy communications and entertainment," said Dallas Clement, senior vice
president of strategy and product management. "Ten years ago, only Cox, a
cable company, had the flexibility to introduce simpler telephone plans to the
marketplace. And now, with wireless, we have the flexibility yet again to
introduce a simpler and better wireless offer, making it easy for consumers to
continue to choose Cox as their trusted provider. It's an exciting future for
our customers."

Cox has a long history of innovation and customer service excellence. When
Cox launched telephone service in 1997, it became the first company to deliver
digital video, high-speed Internet and telephone service via a single network.
This innovation and focus on customer service has earned the company many
prestigious awards. In the last six years, Cox has received highest rankings
in 15 J.D. Power and Associates Customer Satisfaction studies for telephone,
video, high-speed Internet and commercial data. Cox is the only cable or
telecommunications provider to earn highest satisfaction ratings across all
product lines, including commercial data services.
