RESTRUCTURING CHARGES During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2011, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $2.3 million and $1.7 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company's restructuring charges consisted of charges incurred under its Converged Messaging Services restructuring plan initiated in 2008, and its 2009 restructuring plan to relocate certain operations and support functions to Louisville, Kentucky. The Company completed its 2009 Kentucky relocation plan in the third quarter of 2010. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company's restructuring charges consisted of charges incurred under its Converged Messaging Services and its 2010 Management Transition restructuring plans. Restructuring PlansConverged Messaging ServicesBeginning in the fourth quarter of 2008, management committed to and implemented a restructuring plan for the Company's Converged Messaging Services business, previously known as the Company's Next Generation Messaging (NGM) business, to more appropriately allocate resources to the Company's key mobile instant messaging initiatives. The restructuring plan involved a reduction in headcount and closure of specific leased facilities in some of the Company's international locations. In the third quarter of 2009 and fourth quarter of 2010, the Company extended the restructuring plan to include further headcount reductions and closure of certain additional facilities. During the first quarter of 2011, the Company sold certain assets and liabilities of Neustar NGM Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries, and initiated the wind-down of the residual operations of its Converged Messaging Services business. The Company anticipates that it will incur additional restructuring charges related to the wind-down of its Converged Messaging Services business through the third quarter of 2011 of approximately $0.3 million. Total net restructuring charges recorded since the fourth quarter of 2008 include approximately $8.4 million of severance and severance-related costs and $1.5 million of lease and facility exit costs. Amounts related to lease terminations due to the closure of excess facilities will be paid over the remainder of the respective lease terms, the longest of which extends through 2013. The Company's Converged Messaging Services business is included in the Carrier Services operating segment. 2010 Management TransitionIn the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company initiated a domestic work-force reduction impacting both of its operating segments and recorded severance and severance-related charges of $3.8 million. During the first quarter of 2011, the Company recorded additional severance and severance-related charges of $0.4 million in connection with its restructuring initiative. The Company does not anticipate it will incur additional expenses under this plan and expects to pay approximately $1.4 million in severance and severance-related payments through the third quarter of 2012. 2001 PlanAt December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011, the liability related to a reduction in leased facilities incurred in connection with a 2001 restructuring plan was $0.8 million and $0.7 million, respectively. Amounts related to lease terminations due to the closure of facilities under this 2001 restructuring plan will be paid over the remainder of the respective lease terms, the longest of which extends through 2011.
