<P align="center" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This report on Form 6-K contains &#147;forward-looking statements&#148;, as defined in Section&nbsp;27A of
the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section&nbsp;21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, that are based on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and
projections about our company and our industry. The forward-looking statements are subject to
various risks and uncertainties. Generally, these forward-looking statements can be identified by
the use of forward-looking terminology such as &#147;anticipate&#148;, &#147;believe&#148;, &#147;consider&#148;, &#147;depends&#148;,
&#147;estimate&#148;, &#147;expect&#148;, &#147;intend&#148;, &#147;plan&#148;, &#147;project&#148; and similar expressions, or that certain events,
actions or results &#147;will&#148;, &#147;may&#148;, &#147;might&#148;, &#147;should&#148; or &#147;could&#148; occur, be taken or be achieved.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Forward-looking statements in this report on Form 6-K include, but are not limited to,
statements related to our plan to invest in the joint venture with Earthlink Inc. through our
wholly-owned subsidiary.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We caution you that reliance on any forward-looking statement involves risks and
uncertainties, and that although we believe that the assumptions on which our forward-looking
statements are based are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and, as
a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions could be incorrect. Risks and
uncertainties associated with our business include, but are not limited to, risks related to
changes in the regulatory environment; technology changes; potential litigation and governmental
actions; changes in the competitive environment; political changes; currency risks; foreign
ownership limitations; credit risks; reliance on third parties to implement certain plans and other
risks and uncertainties that are more fully described under the heading &#147;Key Information &#151; Risk
Factors&#148; beginning on page 11 of our annual report on Form 20-F filed with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission on June&nbsp;1, 2004. In light of these and other uncertainties, you
should not conclude that we will necessarily achieve any plans and objectives or projected
financial results referred to in any of the forward-looking statements. We do not undertake to
release the results of any revisions of these forward-looking statements to reflect future events
or circumstances.
