r ALPINE pes, Inc. pes Myths Regarding DE Status A Small Carrier's Dilemma RE. C-Block Reauction in Auction 35 1 I ALPINE pes, Inc. Myths Surrounding Auction 35 CD Large carriers need additional spectrum. ~ Only large carriers can build out the spectrum. ® The DE's are inactive and not building. @ Acquisition ofthe C and F blocks by the large carriers will best serve the public interest. ® 10 MHz is sufficient for the small carriers. 2 ALPINE pes, Inc.

SBC • SBC never entered auctions - but acquired companies that did - Pac Bell - Ameritech • SBC and BellSouth are merging wireless properties to expand their footprint • SBC claims that they are spectrum constrained in Dallas - Yet they are selling spectrum inefficient analog phones for low end and prepaid service in Dallas and DC - Their need is primarily footprint not bandwidth in existing markets 13 ALPINE pes, Inc.

Verizon • As with SBC, why do they need spectrum ifthey continue to sell spectrum inefficient analog service? - Prepaid plans are analog* - Low end plans are analog • Answer: 1. They need footprint 2. To stifle competition in served markets *Prepaid is the fastest growing segment ofthe business 17 ALPINE pes, Inc. pes Truths • The larger companies will use new spectrum to expand footprint and/or stifle competition • Using the C-Block is easier than developing new infrastructure for other bands like 700 MHz 18 ALPINE pes, Inc. pes Truths (cont'd) • Larger companies lack the capital to build out the rural markets - Some ofthe larger companies are renting their spectrum to affiliates to build out secondary markets - Some ofthe larger companies are only building the corridors between their large markets 19 ALPINE pes, Inc. pes Truths (cont'd) • True Designated Entities are actively building - AlpinePCS - Leap - Tern Wireless - Noverr - Omnipoint - Etc. 20 ALPINE pes, Inc. pes Truths (cont'd) • The public interest is better served ifthe DEs are allowed to compete on equal terms with the large carrIers• - In major markets - With no less than 20 MHz ofspectrum - Using innovative service plans such as "all you can eat" - And the large carriers can't concentrate & warehouse spectrum and thereby prevent DEs from developing successful businesses 21 ALPINE PCS, Inc. pes Truths (cont'd) • 10 MHz is insufficient to compete with 30+ MHz - Actually 5 MHz in each direction - Only supports three 1.25 MHz CDMA carriers - "all you can eat" service plans require very high network capacity and consumes all 3 CDMA carriers quickly - 10 MHz not sufficient to support "all you can eat" and have room for any other services - cdma2000 Phase 2 requires 5 MHz ofcontiguous spectrum - Sprint's & US West's petition/proposal is a ploy to put future competition in the major markets at a significant "spectrum starved" disadvantage, and thereby minimize the spread of "all you can eat" service plans 22 DE Needs ALPINE pes, Inc. •C and F Blocks belong with the DE's (Ifthe DE spectrum is open to all bidders then the real DE's will be out bid) • There needs to be a healthy, functioning small business block so that there will be: - Roaming among DEs (e.g., Sprint discourages roaming outside their or affiliate's networks by charging roaming charges of$.39 to $.69 per minute when outside these networks but not when in "their" network) - Economies ofscale for purchasing (vendors charge at least 20% more to small carriers than they charge big carriers or affiliates ofbig carriers) - True competition to the big carriers 23 Ll!cent Technologies 0 Evolving cdmaOne Networks to cdma2000 (~'Cr"t'."' . cdmaOne deployed Additional cdmaOne Microcells deployed for 3G services deployed with single 1.25Mhz carriers deployed for additional capacity, highways, with cdma2000 Radios carrier capacity and/or inbuilding services usfng available Spectrum ~~~~ ~••-..~ -·11- "'.....:.........'W""......-............."t I 0 l.. .., i I~ .:.-1- J J 'Al!IIICI'U'lI'C -I ....~..,. lAo , I I --~ ,(.L.~;CJ(.6C.Oe...< /, 3L.l. ; .. t.. .. 9... ~/ ~ ( ~a,~~~~:~~ / :J;'.....~~~v':'"V\:""':V~~~: ...
