These or any other laws or regulations that may be enacted in the future could have several adverse effects on our business.  

Employees 

As of February 28, 2002, we had 741 employees. None of our employees are represented by a labor union, and we consider our employee 

relations to be good. Competition for qualified personnel in our industry is intense, particularly for software development and other technical 

staff and for personnel with experience in wireless services. During 2001, we realigned our resources to concentrate on development of our 

wireless, merchant and broadband services and aligned our engineering resources along business lines. These realignments allowed us to 

reduce our workforce by approximately 375 employees. We believe that our future success will depend in part on our continued ability to 

attract, hire and retain qualified personnel.
