Financial information for Wireline excludes the effects of Hawaii access lines and directory operations sold in 2005, in addition to the sale of nonstrategic assets of the Wireline segment sold in the first quarter of 2007.

We generally account for intersegment sales of products and services and asset transfers at current market prices. We are not dependent on any single customer.
