text: Information provided by Sprint includes reports regarding the subscriber accounts receivable in our markets. Sprint 
  provides us monthly accounts receivable, billing and cash receipts information on a market level, rather than a 
  subscriber level. We review these various reports to identify discrepancies or errors. However, under our agreements 
  with Sprint, we are entitled to only a portion of the receipts, net of items such as taxes, government surcharges, certain 
  allocable write-offs and the 8% of revenue retained by Sprint. Because of our reliance on Sprint for financial 
  information, we must depend on Sprint to design adequate internal controls with respect to the processes established to 
  provide this data and information to the Company and Sprint’s other network partners. To address this issue, Sprint 
  engages its independent auditors to perform a periodic evaluation of these controls and to provide a “Report on 
  Controls Placed in Operation and Tests of Operating Effectiveness for Affiliates” under guidance provided in 
  Statement of Auditing Standards No. 70 (“SAS 70 reports”). The report is provided to us annually and covers a 
  twelve-month period from October 1, 2002 to September 30, 2003. This report did not indicate there were issues which 
  would adversely impact the information used to support the recording of the revenues and expenses provided by Sprint 
  related to our relationship with them.
