We expect to generate revenues from projects by charging for both time and materials, as well as under agreements with specific 

contractual terms. These revenues will be recognized as the services are rendered.  

In 2001, we generated 56% of our revenues from our wireline business area. We expect to generate 40 to 45% of our revenues from our 

wireline and broadband business area in 2002. Our reliance on these revenues involves a number of risks. For additional information about 

these risks, see  Risk Factors We have historically been, and currently remain, reliant upon revenues from our wireline services. Our 

operating results would be harmed by a decline in sales of our wireline services or our failure to collect fees for these services.   

Technology and Infrastructure 

We believe that one of our principal strengths is our internally developed technology that we have designed specifically for our products 

and application services. Our technology architecture features specially adapted capabilities to enhance performance, reliability and scalability, 

consisting of multiple software modules that support the core functions of our operations. Our technology consists of three tiers: Tier I 

Presentation and Authentication, Tier II Platforms and Applications and Tier III Core Technology. Below is a brief description of the 

functionality and purpose of each tier.  

Tier I: Presentation and Authentication 

Authentication 

Requests for our products and application services are generated from wireless, non PC and PC devices. Requests that require 

authentication are routed to our user manager subsystem that authenticates the user and makes that user's profile of authorized capabilities 

available to the rest of our applicants and services.  

Presentation 

The presentation technology allows our products and services to be displayed on different devices each with their own protocols and 

formats without making changes to the underlying application. With our presentation technology, we have a device , protocol , and transport 

independent platform. We support SMS, WAP, cHTML, VoiceXML (speech) and a variety of other protocols that may be proprietary to 

different devices, enabling our end users to access the same personalization and services across a variety of devices. The platform directly 

supports co brand ability permitting easy changes to the look and structure of a site. Our wireless Internet services provide a platform which 

enables carriers to support a variety of protocols such as WAP, PQAs for Palm VII and VoiceXML, in addition to HDML, SMTP and SMS.  

Tier II: Platforms and Applications 

Our platforms and applications build upon the core technology and support the core functions of our operations.  

The components include alerts services, speech, location/geo centric platform, short message service (SMS) platform, user manager, 

content management and wireless access management.  

Our application services include search, directory, broadband, payments, merchant promotions, hosting, shopping and a platform of 

wireless data services such as user manager, wireless access manager, SMS and speech among others. Most applications support HTTP/XML 

based programmatic interfaces to ease integration with partners and evolve into complete Web services.  

Tier III: Core Technology 

Web Server Technology 

We designed our Web Server Technology to enable rapid development and deployment of information over multiple delivery mechanisms 

and output formats. It incorporates an automated publishing engine that
