EV-DO strategic rationale

3G Evolution Data Only (EV-DO) provides:1. Next necessary evolutionary step in CDMA technology

Follows transition adopted by major US carriers Potential future evolutionary path for voice Sprint-Nextel merger to adopt EV-DO as future PTT infrastructure

under-pinning

2. Increased wireless data speeds opens up new services potentials Average user download speeds of 400 – 500 kilobits per second and up

to 1 Megabit per second (with compression techniques)

3. Greater effectiveness of service models in the enterprise market4. New consumer service models drive consumer data revenue5. First strike advantage over Rogers wireless (and GSM platform)

TELUS playing catch-up to Rogers’ GSM technology and earlier introduction of Blackberry devices

EV-DO allows TELUS to leap-frog ahead of EDGE technology

strategic rationale of potential IPTV offering Grow new sources of revenue and expand share of wallet of

Alberta and BC consumers

Protect TELUS high value customers and increase customer loyalty through introduction of key entertainment services

Offer “Quadruple Play” bundle of voice, high-speed data, mobility and video

Provide an alternative to Shaw cable and Bell’s ExpressVu satellite systems

Decrease Shaw’s ability to erode traditional voice services with its “Triple Play” bundle

Offer differentiated services

CRTC VoIP decision ILECs subject to regulation for VoIP

Phase II costing – prices can differ from local Expedited, 10-day confidential tariff process 12 month winback period extended

Cablecos are CLECs and deregulated for VoIP

TELUS issues with decision Canada is unique in regulating retail rates Fails to adapt to disruptive technology Gives regulatory head start to some competitors Disadvantages Canadian telephone companies

Decision as expected, but missed opportunity
