 fines, obligations or operating restrictions if we are deemed to have infringed upon any applicable laws or regulations. Such fines, obligations, restrictions or other forms of liability could have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation, financial condition or results of operations.

We depend on third parties for certain services and equipment, infrastructure and other products important to our business. We rely on third parties to provide services and products important for our operations. For example, we currently purchase the majority of our network -relatedequipment from several suppliers, such as Fiberhome, Vision and Huawei. The successful build -outand operation of our networks depends heavily on obtaining adequate supplies of core and transmission telecommunications equipment, fiber, switching equipment, radio access network solutions, base stations and other services and products on a timely basis. From time to time, we have experienced delays in receiving equipment, installation of equipment and maintenance services, due to factors such as new and existing
