Item 8.01 Other Events.

     On February 6, 2007, we acquired the remaining 51% interest in our minority owned joint venture for $8.65 million in cash (net of our approximately $ 6.35 million in our remaining obligations under the venture), 300,000 shares of MasTec common stock (the “MasTec Shares”), and an earn-out through the eighth anniversary of the closing date based on the venture’s future performance. In connection with the purchase, we have entered into a services agreement with our previous joint venture partner to manage the business. Under certain circumstances, including a change of control of MasTec or the entity or a termination of the service agreement under certain circumstances, the remaining earn-out payments will be accelerated and become payable. Under certain circumstances, we may be required to invest up to an additional $3 million in the venture. The entity provides marketing, advertising, promotion, sales and activities for a company in the telecommunications industry.

     In connection with the acquisition, MasTec has agreed to file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, no later than June 1, 2007, in order to register the resale of 200,000 of the MasTec Shares, and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective.
