We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements and financial statement
schedules as of and for the year ended December 31, 2005 of the Company and our report dated

schedules and included an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company’s change of its method of
accounting for subscriber acquisition, upgrade and retention costs and a change in the Company’s
presentation of its consolidated statements of cash flows to present separate disclosure of cash flows
from operating, investing and financing activates of discontinued operations.
