ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS

The Company and AT&T Wireless are defendants in a lawsuit brought by Freedom Wireless, Inc. alleging patent infringement related to prepaid wireless service. The trial for this matter commenced in late February 2005 before the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The plaintiff sought approximately $260 million in monetary damages from the Company and AT&T Wireless, as well as injunctive relief. On May 20, 2005, the jury reached a verdict, awarding approximately $128 million for past infringement against the Company and Boston Communications Group, Inc. (BCGI), whose prepaid technology platform the Company uses and whose technology is alleged to infringe two patents held by Freedom Wireless. The Company will pursue post-trial motions and an additional defense of unenforceability of the patents before the trial court. The Company plans to appeal if the trial court ultimately enters a judgment against the Company and AT&T Wireless.

BCGI has agreed to indemnify the Company and AT&T Wireless with respect to the claims asserted in this litigation. However, if BCGI does not have adequate financial resources to fully pay any judgment against the Company and AT&T Wireless, the Company would be required to pay all or part of the judgment. BCGI has recently filed a Form 8-K Report with the Securities and Exchange Commission discussing it financial circumstances in light of Freedom Wireless’ litigation against it. (This reference is for information only and is not intended to incorporate herein such report or the information included therein.)
