Item 12. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

     On April 15, 2003, the Company issued a press release regarding its results of operations for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2002. A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1. Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such exhibit and the information set forth therein and herein shall be deemed “furnished” and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purpose of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to liability under that section. The attached release discloses financial and operating measures that may be considered non-GAAP financial information, including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, costs per gross customer addition (CPGA) and cash costs per user per month (CCU). Management uses these measures to evaluate changes in the Company's operating performance and the Company's liquidity and believes that investors use these non-GAAP measures to compare the Company's performance to that of its competitors and to make informed investment decisions. These measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, operating income, net income, net cash provided by operating activities or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
