fixed-line services; management's expectations with respect to SK China Co.,
Ltd.'s acquisition of Shanghai Viatech Networks Consulting Co. Ltd.; the

convertible notes and management's expectation with respect to the share buyback
and cancellation program or cash dividend payment. Forward-looking statements
are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including, among other things,
risks associated with changes in market conditions, regulatory requirements or
other factors. 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. In
light of these and other uncertainties, you should not conclude that we will
necessarily achieve any plans and objectives or projected 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.
