Customer Service and Billing. Customer service and billing expenses include costs associated with the operation of our customer service centers and subscriber management system as well as bad debt expense.

           Three Months: For the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, customer service and billing expenses were $21,058 and $16,822, respectively, an increase of $4,236. Excluding stock-based compensation of $166 and $197 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, customer service and billing expenses increased $4,267 from $16,625 to $20,892.
This increase was primarily due to higher call center operating costs necessary to accommodate the increase in the our subscriber base. Customer service and billing expenses, excluding stock-based compensation, increased 26% compared with an increase in subscribers of 50% year over year.
         
  Nine Months: For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, customer service and billing expenses were $64,529 and $50,550, respectively, an increase of $13,979. Excluding stock-based compensation of $543 and $645 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, customer service and billing expenses increased $14,081 from $49,905 to $63,986.

                 This increase was primarily due to higher call center operating costs necessary to accommodate the increase in our subscriber base. Customer service and billing expenses, excluding stock-based compensation, increased 28% compared with an increase in subscribers of 50% year over year. 

           We expect our customer service and billing expenses, excluding stock-based compensation expense, to increase as our subscriber base grows due to increased call center operating costs, transaction fees necessary to serve our subscriber base and bad debt expense.
