Section 7.01

Regulation FD Disclosure

 

We have recently reiterated our guidance that we expect:

 

to have 3 million subscribers on December 31, 2005;

 

to generate positive free cash flow for the full year 2007; and

our first quarter of positive free cash flow could be reached as early as the fourth quarter of 2006.

 

In addition, we expect to report revenues for the year ending December 31, 2005 of approximately $230 million, an increase from our previous guidance of $225 million, and report strong revenue growth in 2006. On September 15, 2005, we had 2,076,582 subscribers. Our financial projections are based on assumptions, which we believe are reasonable but contain uncertainties.

 

The information in Item 7.01 of this Form 8-K shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing. The disclosure in this Current Report of any information (financial or otherwise) does not constitute an admission that such information is material.
