The investment of our substantial cash balance and our investments in marketable debt and equity securities are subject to risks which may cause losses and affect the liquidity of these investments. We expect to continue to face significant competition in all parts of our business and the level of competition is expected to intensify. We must adapt to rapid technological change. We are subject to a complex and uncertain regulatory environment. Our operations have undergone material changes and our actual operating results can be expected to differ from the results indicated in our historical financial statements. Our success depends upon our ability to manage our growth and expansion. If our recent acquisitions and growth initiatives are not successful, we could suffer an adverse effect on our business and results of operations. We receive support from various funds established under federal and state law and the continued receipt of that support is not assured. We could be harmed by the recent developments affecting other communications companies. We depend on third parties, over whom we have no control, to deliver our services. We are subject to corporate governance and internal control reporting requirements, and our failure to comply with existing and future requirements could adversely affect our business.
