1. If we are not able to compete effectively in the highly competitive wireless communications industry, our future growth and operating results will suffer. Because we rely on one supplier to implement our digital mobile networks, any failure of that supplier to perform could adversely affect our operations. We operate exclusively in foreign markets, and our assets, customers and cash flows are concentrated in Latin America, which presents risks to our operating and financing plans. Government regulations determine how we operate in various countries, which could limit our growth and strategic plans. If our licenses to provide mobile services are not renewed, or are modified or revoked, our business may be restricted. Agreements with Motorola reduce our operational flexibility and may adversely affect our growth or operating results. Costs and other aspects of a future deployment of advanced digital technology could adversely affect our operations and growth. Any modification or termination of our trademark license with Nextel Communications could increase our costs. If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which could harm our business and the trading price of our stock. Our debt may limit our flexibility and increase our risk of default. Our financing agreements have included, and future financing agreements may include, covenants that limit how we conduct our business, which may affect our ability to grow as planned. We have significant intangible assets that may not generate adequate value to satisfy our obligations in the event of liquidation. We may not be able to finance a change of control offer. Sales of large amounts of our common stock, or the perception that sales could occur, may depress our stock price. The issuance of shares pursuant to the terms of our convertible notes and under our option plans could be dilutive of our investors interests. Concerns about health risks associated with wireless equipment may reduce the demand for our services. Our forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from current beliefs.
