Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 1, 2006, America Online Latin America, Inc.'s ("AOLA") subsidiary in Mexico, AOL, S. de R.L. de C.V. ("AOL Mexico"), entered into an Assignment Agreement (the "Agreement") with Alestra, S. de R.L. de C.V. ("Alestra"). Pursuant to the Agreement, AOL Mexico will assign its monthly and prepaid subscriber base to Alestra.

As consideration for the transfer of AOL Mexico's monthly subscribers, Alestra will make one payment to AOL Mexico based on the number of monthly subscribers who are current in their payments on the date the subscribers are transferred to Alestra and a second payment based on the number of subscribers who are current in their payments to Alestra six months later. Alestra will pay AOL Mexico a fee for each prepaid subscriber who renews on an Alestra prepaid plan or subscribes to a monthly dial-up or broadband plan. Since Alestra is assuming the obligation to provide services to prepaid subscribers, Alestra will receive a non-cash credit per prepaid subscriber for the number of days on which such prepaid subscriber receives services from Alestra. The aggregate amount that AOL Mexico expects to receive under the Agreement is approximately $900,000. However, due to the variability in the rates of renewals by prepaid subscribers and in the retention of, and payment by, monthly subscribers and in the range of plans to which renewing prepaid subscribers can subscribe, the foregoing amount is merely an estimate.

Either Alestra or AOL Mexico can terminate the Agreement at its sole discretion on or before March 24, 2006 upon notice to the other party, subject to certain conditions. The closing of the Agreement is subject to a number of conditions, including the approval of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.
