Canadian Wireless Market -Analyst Commentary Research analysts generally positive on industry outlook Research Scotia Capital Henderson, John Fall 2004 “Our work shows the most important driver of value increases in the wireless industry is ARPU growth, followed by reductions in churn, cost of acquisition declines, and growth in subscriber additions. Year-to-date growth in ARPU has continued at robust 5%+ levels, of which we estimate 40% is derived from wireless data adoption” BMO Nesbitt Burns Rhamey, Peter October 1, 2004 “In the wireless segment, performance has been impressive, characterized by strong top-line growth and improved cost efficiencies” RBC Capital Markets Talbot, Richard October 1, 2004 “Following a strong 2003, Canada’s wireless operators continued to exceed the high end of expectations in the first half of 2004. Both financial and operating metrics for the four major operators continued to improve.” “The launch of Virgin Mobile Canada in early 2005 will likely result in increased competition in the prepaid market. As a result we forecast that customer churn levels will actually increase in the near term (2005), before declining in 2006.” TD Securities Lambert, David July 20, 2004 “...increased minutes of use and a subscriber growth acceleration could drive all four carriers to increase their capex guidance” Project Ring 19

As a result, Rogers’ future capex requirements are likely to be further increased following the purchase. While none of the Canadian wireless carriers have yet made public their plans with respect to 3G we estimate it will likely be a 2006 event at the earliest... Rogers may be at a disadvantage to TELUS Mobility and Bell Mobility, which have less debt leverage, and the ability to move quickly to 3G and gain competitive advantage over RCM.” BMO Nesbitt Burns Rhamey, Peter September 21, 2004 “We note that for TELUS and Bell Canada, the prospect of Rogers Wireless gaining market share advantage is amply offset by the prospect that the competitive dynamics in the industry have improved and that Rogers Wireless with significant debt will price rationally going forward.” 06Deal 32Project Ring

Approach to Value •BMO Nesbitt Burns has examined three methodologies -discounted cash flow approach -comparable trading approach -precedent transaction approach •En-bloc value: -highest price available in an open and unrestricted market -no adjustment for liquidity, lack of control or effect of transaction -Must consider potential buyers: Review of Potential Buyers International Buyers Blocked by foreign ownership restrictions Bell Almost certain to be blocked by Competition Bureau Telus Almost certain to be blocked by Competition Bureau Shaw Communications Potential buyer but without significant synergies, only bundling capabilities Québecor — Videotron Potential buyer but without significant synergies, only bundling capabilities Financial Buyers Possible, no operational synergy value created. Full use of tax losses not certain Rogers Communications Potential buyer but without significant synergies, only bundling capabilities -Little synergy value expected from buyer universe 34Project Ring

Methodology #2: Comparable Trading Approach •Methodology: -observed trading multiples from the North American wireless industry -focused on EV/EBITDA multiples for 2005 and 2006 and P/E multiples for 2006 -derived trading value range applying selected multiples -applied take-over premium reflecting premiums paid in precedent Canadian public company transactions •Key limitations: -post acquisition of Microcellthere are no publicly traded comparable companies in Canada -while not directly comparable due to differences in size, growthpotential, coverage, network and industry dynamics between the U.S. and Canada, we believe that the U.S. companies such as Nextel, AT&T Wireless (pre bid), US Cellular and Western Wireless may provide benchmarks -the wireless industry is more mature in Europe and Japan and less mature in Asia Pacific, Africa and South America rendering companies in these markets less comparable to RCM -observed trading multiples may reflect factors not to be taken into account in an assessment of en-bloc value (e.g. liquidity, minority discounts) 36Project Ring
