File No. 0-28362
Dear Mr. Lamoso:
We have reviewed your supplemental response letter dated
June
1, 2005 as well as the above referenced filings and have the
following additional comments. As noted in our comment letter
dated
May 17, 2005, we have limited our review to your financial
statements
and related disclosures and will make no further review of your
documents. As such, all persons who are responsible for the
adequacy
and accuracy of the disclosure are urged to be certain that they
have
included all information required pursuant to the Securities
Exchange
Act of 1934. Please address the following comments in the amended
filing. If you disagree, we will consider your explanation as to
why
our comment is inapplicable or a future revision is unnecessary.
Please be as detailed as necessary in your explanation. In some
of
our comments, we may ask you to provide us with supplemental
information so that we may better understand your disclosure.
After
reviewing this information, we may or may not raise additional
comments.
Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2004
Report of independent public accountants, page 50
1. Please request your auditors to revise their report for the
following:
* to make reference to the Standards of the Public Company
Accounting
Oversight Board in accordance with auditing standard no. 1 of the
PCAOB; and,
* to include a signed audit report.

Notes to consolidated financial statements:
Note 3- Significant accounting policies
(h) Inventories, page 31
2. Please refer to your response to comment no. 6. We believe
that
the change in accounting method for the loss on the sale of
handsets
to customers is not appropriate. The fact that you sell the
handsets
in connection with a service contract at a loss does not mean that
the handsets cannot be sold over the cost of the unit. It appears
that the handset subsidy is a marketing strategy to obtain new
customers. Therefore, we believe that you should continue with
your
accounting policy before January 1, 2003 and recognize the loss on
the sale of the handsets at the time of the sale. Please revise
or
advise.
Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2005
Item 4. Control and procedures, page 15
3. Your disclosure should state in future filings, whether there
was
any change in internal controls that materially affected, or were
reasonably likely to materially affect, your internal controls.
Please confirm in writing whether there was any change in your
internal control over financial reporting identified in connection
with an evaluation thereof that occurred during the period covered
by
the above report that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, your internal control over financial
reporting. Please see Item 308(c) of Regulation S-K.
Please respond to these comments within 10 business days or
tell us when you will provide us with a response. Please furnish
a
letter that keys your responses to our comments and provides any
requested supplemental information. Please file your response
letter
on EDGAR. You may contact Gopal Dharia, Staff Accountant, at
(202)
551-3353 or Ivette Leon, Assistant Chief Accountant, at (202) 551-
3351 if you have questions regarding comments on the financial
statements and related matters. Please contact me at (202) 551-
3810
with any other questions.
Sincerely,
Larry Spirgel
Assistant Director
