Item 8.01 Other Events
On May 16, 2005, the Brazilian National Communications Agency (“ANATEL”) published in the Official Gazette the amendments to the SME Regulations that, among other things, have the effect of treating Nextel Brazil on the same basis with respect to billing for use of other mobile networks as Nextel Brazil’s competitors currently have for use of other mobile networks. These regulations became effective immediately and NII Holdings, Inc. believes that such amendment will result in significant savings from the current billing regime from other mobile carriers.
