(3) In December 2007, we entered into an agreement to acquire 10 MHz of PCS spectrum for the Jacksonville BTA
from PTA Communications, Inc., which if consummated will give us access to a total of 20 MHz of spectrum in the
Jacksonville BTA. See Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

In November 2006, we were granted eight additional FCC licenses for AWS for approximately $1.4 billion. We
can offer the same types of services on these AWS licenses as we offer on our PCS spectrum in addition to other
advanced services. The AWS licenses awarded by the FCC in Auction 66 were divided into geographic areas which
are different from the geographic areas associated with PCS licenses. The table below provides a license by license
