This prospectus supplement supplements the prospectus dated March 15,

May 31, 2002, July 2, 2002, August 26, 2002 and January 15, 2003, relating to
the sale by certain of our securityholders (including their pledgees, donees,
assignees, transferees, successors and others who later hold any of the
selling securityholders' interests) of up to $1,200,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of debentures and the shares of CD common stock issuable upon
conversion of the debentures. You should read this prospectus supplement in
conjunction with the prospectus, and this prospectus supplement is qualified
by reference to the prospectus, except to the extent that the information in
this prospectus supplement supersedes the information contained in the
prospectus.
The table of selling securityholders contained in the prospectus is

(1) Assumes conversion of all of the holder's debentures at a
conversion rate of 41.58 shares of CD common stock per $1,000
principal amount of the debentures. This conversion rate is subject
to adjustment, however, as described under "Description of
Debentures--Conversion Rights". As a result, the number of shares
of CD common stock issuable upon conversion of the debentures may
increase or decrease in the future. Does not include shares of CD
common stock that may be issued by us upon purchase of the
debentures by us at the option of the holder.
(2) Calculated based on Rule 13d-3(d)(i) of the Exchange Act, using
1,036,488,745 shares of CD common stock outstanding as of September
30, 2002. In calculating this amount for each holder, we treated as
outstanding the number of shares of CD common stock issuable upon
conversion of all of that holder's debentures, but we did not
assume conversion of any other holder's debentures. Does not
include shares of CD common stock that may be issued by us upon
purchase of the debentures by us at the option of the holder.
Investing in the debentures or shares of CD common stock involves
risks that are described in the "Risk Factors" section beginning on page 14 of
the prospectus.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state
securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or
determined if this prospectus supplement is truthful or complete. Any
