Telus claims that, Spectrum outside the footprint of a broadcast certificate should all be classified as unassigned and be subject to auction. A general CRTC licence does not bestow any right to spectrum. Only a broadcast certificate authorizes a right to use spectrum. Look does not agree with Telus’ assertion. Telus’ interpretation completely ignores the authoritative status of CRTC broadcasting licences and it claims that a broadcast certificate is analogous to a spectrum licence.

(“Vuze”), the undersigned e-mailed the attached material to Aaron Goldberger and Ian Dillner, both legal advisors to Chairman Kevin J. Martin. The material reflects the results of a recent study conducted by Vuze, in which Vuze created and made available to its users a software plug-in that measures the rate at which network communications are being interrupted by reset messages. The Vuze plug-in measures all network interruptions, and cannot differentiate between reset activity occurring in the ordinary course and reset activity that is artificially interposed by a network operator. While Vuze, therefore, has drawn no firm conclusions from its network monitoring study, it believes the results are significant enough to raise them with network operators and commence a dialog regarding their network management practices. Accordingly, Vuze has sent the attached letters to four of the network operators whose rate of reset activity appeared to be higher than that of many others. While Vuze continues to believe that Commission involvement in this Marlene H.

Shaw Communications Inc. REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS August 31, 2004 Dear Fellow Shareholders: Fiscal 2004 was marked by a number of significant achievements. In addition to almost tripling free cash flow1, we continued to grow our cable subscriber base, and we reached one million Internet customers in June. Our satellite division significantly improved its operating income before amortization and became free cash flow positive for the first time. Our financial position has improved as a result of this strong performance, enabling us to reduce debt by $210.6 million and increase the quarterly dividend on the Class B Non-Voting Shares to $0.07 per share effective September 30, 2004. While reducing overall levels of capital expenditures, we started a number of capital projects to prepare for new services such as Digital Phone, which is scheduled for launch in calendar 2005. The foundation of our success this year resulted from the continuation of a number of strategies: leveraging our network infrastructure to offer customers a wider variety of products and services; delivering quality customer service to increase penetration; implementing price/packaging structures that provide value to both Shaw and the customer; and, generating operating efficiencies to keep our competitive edge.

    Hostopia.com Inc. (H-T, C$6.00) May 23, 2007 Member CIPF Poised, Positioned, and Ready to Succeed INITIATING COVERAGE: SECTOR OUTPERFORM Target Price: C$8.50 Risk: MODERATE Investment Brief: We are initiating coverage on Hostopia with a Sector Outperform rating and C$8.50 target. 2007-1012 forecast revenue growth at 22% (cagr) is driven by end mar- ket growth forecast at 15%, greater penetration of existing users and conservatively forecast new client wins. Hostopia is well-positioned with low-cost, award-winning programming capabilities and marquee client lists in N. America (Verizon, Covad, Bell, TELUS, Rogers) and now Europe (British Telecom, BT Ireland, Perlico). Hostopia boasts a proven 80% suc- cess rate on RFPs that represent over half its revenues. New product/service launches are poised to accelerate end user growth with legacy and new clients. We believe investors discount the significance of recent wins and view the overhang of insider sales post the six month IPO lock-up as a short term negative. We believe, revenue traction from British Telecom (BT) and other recent wins over the next 2-3 quarters should materially change investor expectations and in turn Hos- topia’s valuation. We believe insider sales are limited and an opportunity to increase liquidity. Poised – The end market for webhosting is forecast to grow at 15% per annum. Positioned – Marquee clients ensure sales access while a long term relationship with Geeks for Less (GFL) in the Ukraine secures low cost, award winning programming. Competitive intensity for client’s end users strengthens Hostopia’s wholesale model.
