		Iusacell plans to add an additional 10,000 to 15,000 points of sale this year, largely in the new PCS regions.

	TCW Gem V. Ltd. v Grupo Iusacell Celular, S.A. De C.V. (2004 NY Slip Op 51870(U))
		Plaintiffs' Amended Complaint alleges three causes of action against the Iusacell defendants that arise from the default of the Indenture agreement and the failure to grant plaintiffs equal and ratable liens in the mortgages purportedly granted after July 25, 1997, as required under the Indenture Agreement.
		The Iusacell defendants move to dismiss only the First Cause of Action contending that a New York court should not decide the issues relating to the mortgage; rather it should be decided by a Mexican court.
