Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

     On March 28, 2006, the compensation committee of our board of directors established the performance criteria and goals for executive officers with respect to cash bonus awards to be paid under our 2004 Incentive Compensation Plan for achievements relating to our performance for the 2006 fiscal year (the “2006 Bonus Plan”). The criteria relating to our performance for 2006 are consolidated operating cash flow and consolidated net subscriber additions. The bonus criteria, each of which is weighted, also include a discretionary component based on individual performance factors and a component based on our ongoing management succession planning activities. The minimum achievement required to qualify for a bonus is 80% of the specified target performance goals under the 2006 Bonus Plan. The maximum payout of a bonus will be based on achievement of 120% of the specified target performance goals under the 2006 Bonus Plan. All awards under the 2006 Bonus Plan are expected to be paid in cash in the first quarter of 2007.
