                INFORMATION REQUIRED IN REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Item 3. Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference

        The following documents, which have heretofore been filed by FirstWorld
Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Registrant"), with the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), pursuant to the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), Commission
File Number 0-24953, are incorporated by reference in this Registration
Statement:

        (a)  The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
             ended December 31, 1999;

        (b)  The Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal
             quarter ended March 31, 2000; and

        (c)  The description of the Series B Common Stock contained in the
             Registrant's Form S-1/A filed with the Commission on February 16,
             2000.

        In addition, all documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to
Section(s) 13(a), 13(c), 14 and/or 15(d) of the Exchange Act subsequent to the
date of this Registration Statement is filed with the Commission and prior to
the filing of a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement
indicating that all securities offered have been sold or de-registering all
securities then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference
in and to be a part of this Registration Statement from the respective dates of
filing of such documents.

Item 4. Description of Securities.

        Not applicable.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

        None.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

        The General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL")
permits a Delaware corporation to indemnify officers, directors, employees and
agents for actions taken in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed
to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and with
respect to any civil or criminal action, which they had no reasonable cause to
believe was unlawful. The DGCL also provides that a corporation may advance the
expenses of defense (upon receipt of a written undertaking to reimburse the
corporation if it is ultimately determined that such individual is not entitled
to indemnification) and must reimburse a successful defendant for expenses,
including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred. The DGCL further
provides that indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as
to which a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after
exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation, except
only to the extent a court determines that the person is entitled to indemnity
for such expenses that the court should deem proper. The DGCL also permits a
corporation to purchase and maintain liability insurance for its directors and
officers.

        The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws provide that
the Registrant shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the
DGCL, as the same may be amended and supplemented from time to time, indemnify
all directors and officers and all other persons whom it has authority to
indemnify under Section 145 of the DGCL. Such limitation of liability does not
affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or
rescission. The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its
officers and directors containing provisions which may require the Registrant,
among other things, to indemnify the officers and directors against certain
liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or
officers (other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct of a culpable
nature), and to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding
against them as

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

to which they could be indemnified. The Registrant maintains insurance on behalf
of its directors and officers, insuring them against liabilities that they may
incur in such capacities or arising out of such status.

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

        Not Applicable.

Item 8. Exhibits.

        Exhibit Number                      Description of Exhibit

Item 9. Undertakings.

        (a)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

             (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
                  made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration
                  Statement to include any material information with respect to
                  the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
                  Registration Statement or any material change to such
                  information in this Registration Statement;

             (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
                  Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),
                  each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
                  registration statement relating to the securities offered
                  therein, and the offering of such securities at the time shall
                  be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and

             (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
                  amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
                  unsold at the termination of the offering.

        (d)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
             determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of
             the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section
             15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable each filing of an
             employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of
             the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this
             Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration
             Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
             offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
             initial bona fide offering thereof.

        (e)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
             Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and
             controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
             provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in
             the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against
             public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
             unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
             against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant
             of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
             person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
             suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
             controlling person in connection with the securities being
             registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

             its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
             submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
             such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
             the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
             of such issue.

Item 3. Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference

        The following documents, which have heretofore been filed by FirstWorld
Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Registrant"), with the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), pursuant to the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), Commission
File Number 0-24953, are incorporated by reference in this Registration
Statement:

        (a)  The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
             ended December 31, 1999;

        (b)  The Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal
             quarter ended March 31, 2000; and

        (c)  The description of the Series B Common Stock contained in the
             Registrant's Form S-1/A filed with the Commission on February 16,
             2000.

        In addition, all documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to
Section(s) 13(a), 13(c), 14 and/or 15(d) of the Exchange Act subsequent to the
date of this Registration Statement is filed with the Commission and prior to
the filing of a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement
indicating that all securities offered have been sold or de-registering all
securities then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference
in and to be a part of this Registration Statement from the respective dates of
filing of such documents.

Item 4. Description of Securities.

        Not applicable.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

        None.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

        The General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL")
permits a Delaware corporation to indemnify officers, directors, employees and
agents for actions taken in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed
to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and with
respect to any civil or criminal action, which they had no reasonable cause to
believe was unlawful. The DGCL also provides that a corporation may advance the
expenses of defense (upon receipt of a written undertaking to reimburse the
corporation if it is ultimately determined that such individual is not entitled
to indemnification) and must reimburse a successful defendant for expenses,
including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred. The DGCL further
provides that indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as
to which a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after
exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation, except
only to the extent a court determines that the person is entitled to indemnity
for such expenses that the court should deem proper. The DGCL also permits a
corporation to purchase and maintain liability insurance for its directors and
officers.

        The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws provide that
the Registrant shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the
DGCL, as the same may be amended and supplemented from time to time, indemnify
all directors and officers and all other persons whom it has authority to
indemnify under Section 145 of the DGCL. Such limitation of liability does not
affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or
rescission. The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its
officers and directors containing provisions which may require the Registrant,
among other things, to indemnify the officers and directors against certain
liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or
officers (other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct of a culpable
nature), and to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding
against them as

                                      -2-
to which they could be indemnified. The Registrant maintains insurance on behalf
of its directors and officers, insuring them against liabilities that they may
incur in such capacities or arising out of such status.

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

        Not Applicable.

Item 8. Exhibits.

Item 9. Undertakings.

        (a)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

             (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
                  made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration
                  Statement to include any material information with respect to
                  the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
                  Registration Statement or any material change to such
                  information in this Registration Statement;

             (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
                  Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),
                  each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
                  registration statement relating to the securities offered
                  therein, and the offering of such securities at the time shall
                  be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and

             (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
                  amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
                  unsold at the termination of the offering.

        (d)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
             determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of
             the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section
             15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable each filing of an
             employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of
             the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this
             Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration
             Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
             offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
             initial bona fide offering thereof.

        (e)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
             Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and
             controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
             provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in
             the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against
             public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
             unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
             against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant
             of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
             person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
             suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
             controlling person in connection with the securities being
             registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of

                                      -3-
its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
             submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
             such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
             the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
             of such issue.

                                      -4-
