Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On December 8, 2005, EasyLink Services Corporation (the "Company") issued a
press release reporting on the status of the completion of its financial results

Report on Form 8-K.

The information furnished under Items 2.02 and 9.01 of this report (including
Exhibit 99.1) shall not be deemed to be "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise subject to the liabilities of
that Section and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any
filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
unless specifically incorporated by reference in such filing.

the Company received notice from The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. Listing
