Cancel Rate is defined as individual customer DIDs with greater than 4 months of continuous service (continuous service includes customer DIDs which are administratively cancelled and reactivated within calendar month),
and DIDs related to enterprise customers beginning with their first day of service. Calculated monthly and expressed here as an average over the three months of the quarter.

Free cash flow is net cash provided by operating activities, less purchases of property and equipment. See slide 11 for computation of free cash flow.
Note also that Q3 and Q4 2008 Free Cash Flow have been updated in the above schedule for an immaterial correction.
Quarterly revenues for Q1 2007 and Q1 2008 have been reclassed between fixed, variable and other revenue and between DID based and non-DID based revenue.
This reclass is related to revised revenue classification for a j2 subsidiary, it does not impact total revenues for the quarter.
