Cox Delivers Caller ID to the TV

New Free Service is Latest Feature of Cox's iTV Platform

WARWICK, R.I., May 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Cox Communications today announced
Caller ID to the TV will launch May 18 in Rhode Island, allowing customers to
identify incoming callers from the comfort of their living room and without
missing a second of their favorite shows.

Cox is the only cable provider in Rhode Island offering this service, and at
no additional cost to customers. Caller ID to the TV is available to Cox
customers who subscribe to both Cox Digital Telephone with Caller ID and Cox
Digital Cable. The capability will be expanded to additional Cox markets later
this year. Click here for a video demo.

"Caller ID to the TV is an example of our commitment to the continued
evolution and convergence of our communications platforms," said Doreen
Studley, vice president of marketing for Cox Communications. "Our customers
prefer to bundle voice, Internet and video services from one trusted provider.
More importantly, they want these services to work together to enhance their
lives."

Caller ID to the TV is the latest enhancement to the company's interactive
television (iTV) platform that provides instant access to information via the
TV screen. iTV enables the integration of phone and Internet with the TV to
provide valuable information for viewers. In addition to managing the Caller
ID function, iTV allows Cox Digital Cable customers to access the following
via the MENU button on the remote control:

-- Call History
-- iTV Weather
-- iTV Games
-- iTV Remote
-- News Zone
-- Sports Zone
-- Kids Zone

Cox is currently the eighth largest phone company in the U.S., with more than
three million residential and business telephone customers. In the past year,
more people nationwide chose Cox Digital Telephone for home phone service than
all former regional Bell operating companies combined.

"The ability to link phone features directly to the TV makes the phone/video
bundle more attractive to customers," said Matt Davis, a research director at
IDC, a global market intelligence firm. "As service platforms and technologies
continue to integrate, customers will gravitate more towards one trusted
provider to manage all their communications services."
