Our AWS licenses cover a total population of approximately 126 million outside of the metropolitan areas where
we hold or have access to spectrum. Together, our east coast Auction 66 Markets currently cover a geographic area
of approximately 52 million people, including the New York, Philadelphia and Boston metropolitan areas, and our
west coast Auction 66 Markets currently cover a geographic area of approximately 32 million people, including the
San Diego, Portland, Seattle and Las Vegas metropolitan areas. The balance of our Auction 66 Markets, which
currently cover a population of approximately 42 million, supplements or expands the geographic boundaries of our
existing operations in Dallas/Ft. Worth, Detroit, San Francisco and Sacramento, and Royal Street Communication’ s
license area in Los Angeles. We intend to focus our initial build out in our new Auction 66 Markets on metropolitan
areas with a total population coverage of approximately 40 million in major metropolitan areas with a primary focus
on the New York, Philadelphia, Boston and Las Vegas metropolitan areas.
The map below illustrates the geographic coverage of our Core and Expansion Markets.
