Section 8 Other Events
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On July 29, 2005, we entered into a letter of intent to acquire from another carrier certain local telephone service lines for which we currently provide service under a wholesale, "private-label" arrangement with that carrier. The letter provides that we and the other carrier will use best efforts to complete a definitive agreement by September 1, 2005. The transfer is scheduled to occur in February 2006 and a structured pay-out is planned. The aggregate purchase price will depend on the number of lines in service at the time of the transfer. We currently provide local telephone service for approximately 187,000 end user lines under the wholesale arrangement. We expect normal attrition will likely result in a lesser number of lines in service at the time of transfer, but that the number of these "UNE-P" lines at September 29, 2005 will exceed 150,000. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals. We will continue to evaluate other strategic opportunities including other acquisitions and commercial service contracts with the major incumbent local telephone companies.
