text: The Company records its PCS service revenue net of the 8% of collected revenue that is paid to Sprint. Under the 
  management agreement with Sprint, through December 31, 2003 Sprint is entitled to retain 8% of all collected service 
  revenue from subscribers whose service home is in the Company's territory, and 8% of the collected roaming revenue 
  generated by non-Sprint wireless subscribers who use the Company's network. With the adoption of the new Amended 
  Agreement, the Company will record its service revenue and receive payment from Sprint based on billed revenue, net 
  of 8% of billed revenue retained by Sprint, customer credits, and allocated write-offs. 
  
  ***Stock Option Plan:***To account for its fixed plan stock options, the Company applies the intrinsic value-based method 
  of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to 
  Employees," and related interpretations including Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 
  44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation," an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25 
  issued in March 2000. Under this method, compensation expense is recorded on the date of the grant only if the 
  current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price. SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based 
  Compensation," established accounting and disclosure requirements using a fair value-based method of accounting for 
  stock-based employee compensation plans. As allowed by SFAS No. 123, the Company has elected to continue to 
  apply the intrinsic value-based method of accounting described above, and has adopted the disclosure requirements of 
  SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and 
  Disclosure-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123."
