<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">Thank you, _______. Good morning and thank you for joining
us.&#160; I want to make you all aware of the presentation we have prepared to
accompany our comments this morning, which you can find on the Investor
Relations sections of the TDS and U.S. Cellular websites. With me today and
offering prepared comments are:</font></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-left:.5in;margin-right:0in;margin-top:0in;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">From TDS, Doug Shuma, Senior Vice President and
Controller</font></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-left:.5in;margin-right:0in;margin-top:0in;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">From U.S. Cellular:</font></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-left:1.0in;margin-right:0in;margin-top:0in;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">Ken Meyers,
President and Chief Executive Officer,</font></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-left:1.0in;margin-right:0in;margin-top:0in;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">Steve Campbell,
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer</font></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-left:.5in;margin-right:0in;margin-top:0in;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">From TDS Telecom:</font></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-left:1.0in;margin-right:0in;margin-top:0in;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">Vicki Villacrez, VP

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">This call is being simultaneously webcast on the Investor
Relations sections of the TDS and U.S. Cellular websites. Please see the
websites for slides referred to on this call, including non-GAAP
reconciliations.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">The information set forth in the presentation and discussed
during this call contains statements about expected future events and financial
results that are forward-looking and subject to risks and uncertainties. Please
review the Safe Harbor paragraphs in our release and the more extended version
included in our SEC filings.&#160; </font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">Shortly after we released our earnings and before the call,
TDS and U.S. Cellular filed SEC Forms 8-K, including today&#8217;s press releases, as
well as their SEC Forms 10-Q.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">We invite you to join us or listen to the webcast of our
Annual Meetings.&#160; U.S. Cellular&#8217;s meeting is on May 20<sup>th</sup> and TDS&#8217; is
on May 22.&#160;&#160; We also ask our shareholders to support our extremely qualified
slate of director nominees at both TDS and U.S. Cellular.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">Also keep in mind that TDS has an open door policy, so if you
are in the Chicago area and would like to meet members of management, the
Investor Relations team will try to accommodate you, calendars permitting.&#160; </font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">Before we turn the call over to Ken Meyers, Doug Shuma will
spend a few moments on the TDS Enterprise level.&#160; Doug, </font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><b><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">DOUG</font></b></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">Thanks, Jane.&#160; Turning to slide 3, </font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">TDS continued to execute on its share repurchase authorization
purchasing nearly $4 million in shares this quarter.&#160; Given we were in our
earnings black-out until the end of February, this only represents about one
month of active repurchase.&#160; This is in addition to our nearly $15 million
quarterly dividend.&#160; </font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">As we have already announced, U.S. Cellular has sold over $400
million of non-strategic spectrum.&#160; We have said that this represented about
75% of the licenses we identified as non-core that was related to our
Divestiture markets.&#160; Given the significant current valuation of spectrum, U.S.
Cellular is continuing to evaluate additional spectrum outside of its operating
footprint that it could possibly monetize.&#160; </font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">We continue to move forward on the sale of non-core towers and
hope to complete a sale this year.&#160; As we have said, we want to complete this
transaction before we would consider the sale of any core towers. </font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">And now I will turn the call over to Ken Meyers.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">Good morning.&#160; I&#8217;d like to talk with you this morning about
the progress we are making against the 2014 strategic priorities that we set
forth on our last call.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">As we&#8217;ve discussed and as shown on slide 6, driving subscriber
growth is our top priority.&#160;&#160; This is a function of both increasing gross adds
and managing churn.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">We are having real success attracting new customers to U.S.
Cellular.&#160; Core postpaid gross additions for the First Quarter increased 12%
over last year despite a slow March.&#160; Competitively, it was an intense
quarter.&#160; We ran some aggressive promotions, as you can see in our loss on
equipment, but these results give us confidence that our device portfolio and
service plans will enable us to compete in our footprint.&#160;&#160; In fact at this
time last year, without the introduction of the iPhone, our defections research
told us that device selection was the 2<sup>nd</sup> most common reason given
when customers left us.&#160; With the iPhone, the percentage of customers citing
device selection as the reason they left us has dropped 75%.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#160;&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">While the Sales team had success filling the top of the
funnel, other parts of the organization were intensely focused on addressing
churn and we are making progress.&#160; Voluntary churn looks to have peaked in the
4<sup>th</sup> Quarter and Customer Service levels are now </font><!-- Do not modify beyond this point! !--><a name=bcl_connect_next></a></p>

above the levels experienced before the billing conversion.&#160; While billing
concerns still remain with some customers, voluntary churn, while still above
year ago levels, has dropped 17 basis points from the peak in the fourth
quarter, and is expected to continue to improve.&#160; As we discussed on the
year-end call, involuntary churn -- customers we are shutting off for not
paying their bills-- increased late in 2013 and early in 2014, but as Steve
will discuss, has recently started to move back toward more normalized levels.</font><i><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#160;
</font></i><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">In the aftermath of the billing implementation, we had been extending
payment terms to allow time for customers to clear up any questions about their
bills, but are now starting to catch-up on the non-payers.&#160; We believe that we
have worked through the majority of the Collections backlog and have begun to
see involuntary churn and thus total churn improve.&#160;&#160; Improved churn combined
with the success we are having attracting new customers, will allow us to
stabilize and then grow our customer base again.&#160; </font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">In addition to improved Customer Service levels, we have also
made significant progress improving all operational aspects of the billing
system though more work is still ongoing.&#160; The key is making that work
invisible to our customers.&#160;&#160;&#160; </font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">As previously discussed and as shown on slide 7, our value
proposition revolves around the network.&#160; The quality of our network is core to
our strategy and we are continuing to invest in rolling out 4G LTE to more and
more of our network to allow us to deliver the data products and services, like
shared data plans and connected devices that our customers want.&#160;
Notwithstanding our loss of customers over the recent quarters, the number of
smartphone users on our networks has actually grown.&#160; In fact on a year- over-
year basis we have 16% more smartphone users as of March 31<sup>st</sup>.&#160;&#160;&#160; </font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">Another facet of our strategy is to really leverage our local
market presence and knowledge to create a differentiated experience for our
customers.&#160; We are working to make U.S. Cellular even more relevant to wireless
consumers and businesses in Wisconsin, Iowa, Maine and Nebraska, for example.&#160;&#160;
One small manifestation of this is some new advertising that is customized
market-by-market to drive our local network quality message. </font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">We are confident that all of these components together &#8211; with
the network at the core &#8211; will make the U.S. Cellular value proposition
resonate with our current customers and be attractive to new customers.&#160; </font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">Slide 8, in order to improve margins over time, we must turn
around our subscriber results, but we must also drive additional revenue growth
on top of that.&#160; Adding the iPhone to our smartphone portfolio has accelerated
smartphone penetration &#8211; now at 53%.&#160; Our Shared Connect data plans are being
well received by our customers and should allow us to capitalize on
skyrocketing data consumption.&#160; Connected devices provide an opportunity to
increase data usage and thus revenue per account without significant
subsidies.&#160; All of these activities are translating into additional data usage
and ARPU, with core postpaid ARPU up 6% over last year despite the recently
volatile pricing environment.&#160;&#160; We will continue to adjust to the pricing
environment to ensure our customers get not only the best network experience in
all of our markets but also receive a very competitive value.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">And finally, slide 9, we will look to offset the increases in
subsidy amounts caused by the costly 4G devices through programs such as
recently introduced device installment plans.&#160; </font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">All in all, we believe we have all the pieces in place to
stabilize and then grow our customer base in 2014.&#160;&#160; As expected, headwinds
related to 4G smartphone subsidies including the full year impact of having the
iPhone will impact profitability, part of that impact on free cash flow will be
mitigated by lower capital spending as our build-out of 4G LTE nears
completion.&#160; </font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">Before I turn the call over to Steve, I&#8217;d like to share our
current thinking on providing guidance for revenues and profitability for
2014.&#160; We continue to navigate significant factors that have affected our
ability to forecast with confidence, including the unprecedented number of
pricing moves that have occurred so far this year.&#160; Looking ahead, we continue
to believe there is a high degree of uncertainty about future pricing moves.&#160;
Compounding that uncertainty is the elevated churn we are experiencing due to
the billing system conversion.&#160; This impacts our average subscriber totals,
which has an impact on revenues over the course of the year.&#160; We have
aggressive plans to bring churn down, but cannot predict with accuracy how
quickly we can achieve our desired results.&#160; Therefore, while we are getting
some additional clarity, we still do not have the level of confidence to publicly-disclose
a reasonable range at this time, but as we continue to stabilize our customer
base, we get closer to a point of being able to reinstitute our past
practices.&#160; </font></p>

the year-to-year comparability of our first quarter financial statements is
impacted by two significant transactions that occurred in 2013 &#8211; the
deconsolidation of the NY 1 and 2 partnerships in April and the divestiture of
the Chicago, St. Louis and other Midwestern markets in May.&#160; Given the timing
of those transactions, we will have one additional quarter &#8211; the second quarter
of this year &#8211; for which there will be a lack of comparability.&#160; </font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">I want to say a few more words
about postpaid churn.&#160; Although it&#8217;s hard to see in the reported numbers, which
show churn both sequentially and year-over-year, the fact is that we&#8217;re making
good progress.&#160; The chart on Slide 11 shows the trends in both voluntary churn
and involuntary churn over the period beginning in January of last year through
April 25th of this year.&#160; </font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">As Ken said earlier, what we
experienced in the first quarter was something of a shift from voluntary churn
&#8211; customers leaving us on their own accord to involuntary churn &#8211; customers we
are shutting off for not paying their bills.&#160; As this chart shows, voluntary
churn appears to have peaked in the fourth quarter and, although it is still
higher than we want, it has trended lower since that time.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">Involuntary churn, on the other
hand, spiked up in the first couple months of the first quarter as we returned
to enforcing our normal collections practices and began to catch-up on the
non-payers.&#160; However, just as with the voluntary churn, we believe that we have
now worked through the majority of the collections backlog, and have begun to
see involuntary churn steadily decline from its peak in February.</font></p>

Service revenues decreased by about $7 million year-to-year.&#160; The other major
factor in the year-over-year change was Loss on equipment which at $198
million, increased $50 million or 33%.&#160; LOE was driven by the continuing shift
in mix to sales of smartphones overall and sales of higher cost 4G LTE devices
and, of course, by industry competition.&#160; As a result, the average loss per
unit sold increased by 43% from $206 to $295.&#160;&#160; We expect that equipment
pricing will continue to be very aggressive across the industry in the coming
months, and that our costs will be impacted by the continuing shift in mix to
smartphones overall and 4G LTE devices.&#160; However, we expect to offset the high
subsidies through programs such as the device installment plans that we

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">The first quarter&#8217;s operating
income was impacted by certain costs and expenses related to the divestiture
transaction.&#160; As shown on slide 17, the impact was a reduction to income of $6
million, consisting largely of $13 million of accelerated depreciation,
amortization and accretion related to network assets.&#160; The period for recording
accelerated depreciation, amortization and accretion ended during the first
quarter, so this expense will not be recurring in the future.</font></p>

on slide 18, net income attributable to U.S. Cellular shareholders totaled
$19.5 million or $0.23 per diluted share, versus $4.9 million or $0.06 per
share last year. The effective tax rate was 40.6% in the quarter, consistent
with last year&#8217;s rate of 40.8%.&#160; </font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">For the quarter, Cash Flow from
Operating Activities was $64 million, down from $224 million last year.&#160; This
was affected by lower operating income, excluding the gains recognized on
license sales and exchanges.&#160; Cash used for additions to property, plant and
equipment in the quarter was $109 million, reflecting significant expenditures
related our 4G LTE network, as well as for additional billing system
enhancements.&#160; Free cash flow for the quarter was negative $46 million.&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; </font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">I want to make just a couple of
additional comments about U.S. Cellular&#8217;s balance sheet and financial
resources.&#160; The balance sheet remains sound, and we have significant liquidity
and financial flexibility, together with expected cash flow from operations and
funds available under our revolving credit facility, to meet our financing
needs.&#160; </font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">Cash collections improved during
the first quarter and customer accounts receivable are down nearly $80 million
or 20% from the year-end level.&#160; At March 31<sup>st</sup>, cash and short-term
investments totaled $439 million, and we have about $280 million of unused
borrowing capacity under our revolving credit agreement.&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; </font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">On Slide 20, we continue to execute on our strategic
priorities at TDS Telecom.&#160; During the first quarter, we launched two new IPTV
fiber markets bringing total TDS TV markets to 13 and enabling approximately
102,000 total service addresses, or roughly 14% of our total footprint.&#160; The
integration of Baja has been very productive. We continue to increase broadband
penetration and identify synergy opportunities giving us confidence in our
overall cable strategy. We are furthering this strategy by our acquisition of
BendBroadband which we announced yesterday.&#160; Our hosted and managed services
(HMS) business has been combined under the OneNeck IT Solutions brand, and we
have realigned our sales force and many other operational functions.&#160;&#160; </font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">Slide 21</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">Yesterday&#8217;s announcement of our agreement to acquire
substantially all of the assets of BendBroadband is another significant step in
pursuing our cable growth strategy aimed at creating value for the long-term.&#160;
This strategy is a natural extension of our core Wireline business and builds
on last year&#8217;s investment in Baja Broadband.&#160; BendBroadband is a provider of
connectivity solutions in Central Oregon with 2013 revenues of $70 million and
over 79,000 homes and businesses passed, serving one of the most desirable and </font><!-- Do not modify beyond this point! !--><a name=bcl_connect_next></a></p>

full-service communications company with strong market share and penetration
rates that exceed industry averages.&#160; BendBroadband has consistently invested
in technology, with fully upgraded DOCSIS 3.0 plant and fiber connectivity,
which it leverages to serve both residential and commercial customers.&#160;&#160;
Additionally, the acquisition includes a Tier III data center which will be
operated by our OneNeck leadership team to further grow the sales pipeline and
presence in the Western US, and allow us to leverage our reputation as a
trusted advisor to businesses and our extensive commercial product portfolio.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">We are purchasing substantially all of the assets of
BendBroadband for $261 million in cash and believe we can create significant
value from the transaction.&#160; </font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">Slide 22, Similar to Baja, these markets have attractive
demographics, above national average household growth forecasts, and strong
economic development. We believe the markets served by BendBroadband will not
face significant fiber competition and therefore we will have &#8220;the best pipe to
the home&#8221; in these markets.&#160; BendBroadband has higher penetration overall than
Baja, yet we believe the high quality of the services provided will allow us to
capture additional market share, especially for data.&#160; Given the investment the
company has made over the years, we see relatively low capital requirements.&#160;
And similar to Baja, we believe we can create meaningful synergies through
marketing many of our current products sets, deploying existing platforms,
tools and processes and leveraging centralized resources and vendor
relationships.&#160; We are excited about the opportunity to leverage
BendBroadband&#8217;s talent and expertise to continue to expand and further build our
cable operations.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">We expect to close in the third quarter this year and will
update guidance at that time</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">Before I cover results for the quarter, I wanted to call your
attention to a change in revenue reporting in the Telecom financials.&#160; We are
now breaking out equipment sales and the related cost of goods sold for the
consolidated Telecom statement and each segment.&#160; Equipment revenues are
significant in the HMS segment for which a large component of the business is
the sales of technology solutions. &#160;These sales can be uneven and have
significantly lower margins.&#160; Segregating equipment sales from services will
provide better visibility into the ongoing HMS operations.&#160; For the Wireline
and Cable segments, equipment sales are primarily for managed IP equipment and
are relatively small.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">Moving to first quarter results on slide 23, we had a very
solid quarter with:</font></p>

</font><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">HMS producing&#160; 8% organic growth&#160; in service revenues and equipment
sales.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">On a consolidated basis, Telecom revenues increased 21 percent
driven from both the Baja cable acquisition and the MSN acquisition.&#160; Adjusting
for the impacts of these acquisitions, revenues were down 1% year over year as
organic growth in our HMS business nearly offset the revenue declines in the
Wireline operations. </font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">Adjusted income before income taxes, which is essentially operating
cash flow for Telecom, grew 26 percent year-over-year or $14.9M to $72.6M in
the quarter, primarily driven by $9.5M of increased contribution from the
Wireline operations and the $5.1M contribution from the Baja acquisition.&#160;
Without the effects of acquisitions, the business grew its adjusted income
before income taxes 16% or $9.3M.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">Looking at Wireline results, slide 24, growth in data and IPTV
on the residential side and Managed IP on the commercial side offset the
decline in legacy voice services.&#160; Wholesale revenues declined 8% primarily as
the result of changes in regulatory recovery due to the Reform Order, and lower
wholesale rates, as well as continued declines in access lines and minutes of
use.&#160;&#160; However, due to cost control initiatives, SG&amp;A declined 19% or
$10.9M and cost of services declined 3% or $2.0M from the same period last
year.&#160; As a result, operating cash flow margins improved 600 basis points which
drove a 17% increase in adjusted income before income taxes.&#160; This is the
fourth consecutive quarter in which the Wireline reported growth in adjusted
income before income taxes as the entire organization continues to stay focused
on cost improvement initiatives.&#160; </font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">In the quarter, despite our very high ILEC residential
broadband penetration of almost 70%, we added 2,400 broadband net adds. This
growth was driven by triple play sales in IPTV markets as well as new data
services launched in stimulus markets.&#160; We are nearly complete on our broadband
stimulus projects, providing service in 37 of the 44 markets.&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; </font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">And on slide 25, residential broadband customers are
increasingly choosing higher speeds in our ILEC with 36% choosing speeds of 10
Megabits or greater, driving increases in average revenue per connection.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">As previously mentioned we launched two new IPTV markets
during the quarter.&#160; We have been very pleased with the overall IPTV uptake and
ARPU results to date.&#160; IPTV connections grew over 75% adding 6,900 subscribers
compared to the prior period.&#160; In our newer fiber markets, we are offering up
to 300 Mbps data speeds.&#160; 97% of our IPTV customers are taking a triple play
bundle.&#160; In the table on the right, average revenue per residential connection
increased 2% primarily reflecting increases from the IPTV rollout and price
increases for data services.&#160; </font></p>

solution, managedIP, increased connections 27% year over year, resulting in
commercial revenue growth of 1.5%.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">As you look at the Cable segment on slide 27, these results
reflect Baja&#8217;s second full quarter operations which was acquired on August 1,
2013.&#160;&#160; We are pleased with the results to date - in the eight months we have
owned Baja, we have seen annualized growth exceeding 10% in both voice and
broadband connections more than offsetting the decline in video connections.
Additionally, we have seen household growth in the market of 3%.&#160; As a result
of the customer growth, revenues increased to $22.5M from $21.5M in the fourth
quarter of 2014.&#160; Expenses include one-time costs associated with cost
reductions resulting in adjusted income before income taxes of $5.1M, which is
on plan.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">Turning to the HMS segment on slide 28, we are pleased with
the 8% organic growth in our service revenues which includes colocation, cloud,
application management and managed hosting services.&#160; Organic growth in
equipment revenues also increased 8% in the quarter.&#160; The acquisition of MSN,
our Denver-based solutions provider acquired on October 4, 2013, increased
revenues by $25 million and expenses by $24 million.&#160; </font></p>

year-end call.&#160; As a reminder, we will update 2014 guidance for the
BendBroadband acquisition when it closes.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">I&#8217;d like to close by reiterating how confident we are in the
portfolio of companies we are operating today at TDS Telecom.&#160; We believe our
Wireline business can generate consistent cash flow and provide expertise and
infrastructure to build our Cable business.&#160; We are thrilled to be adding
BendBroadband to our family of companies. We look forward to continuing to grow
BendBroadband&#8217;s business and executing on our strategy to expand our cable operations.
Our HMS segment is positioned to capitalize on the successful integration of
the five companies we have acquired to generate strong revenue growth and
increasing profitability.</font></p>
