us. I want to make you all aware of the presentation we&#8217;ve prepared to accompany
our comments this morning, which you can find on the Investor Relations section
of the TDS and U.S. Cellular websites.</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;">With me today and offering prepared comments are from TDS,
Douglas Shuma, Senior Vice President and Controller; from U.S. Cellular Ken

<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 web

TDS and U.S. Cellular filed SEC Form 8-K including the press releases as well

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">Thanks Jane. Turning to Slide 3, TDS continued to execute on a
share repurchase authorization, purchasing nearly $4 million of shares this
quarter. Given we&#8217;re in our earnings black out until the end of February, this
represents only about one month of active repurchase. This is in addition to
our nearly $15 million quarterly dividend. </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 have already announced, U.S. Cellular has sold over $400
million of non-strategic spectrum. We have said that this represented about 75%
of the licenses we identified as non-core that was related to our divestiture
markets. Given the significant current valuation of spectrum, U.S. Cellular is
continuing to evaluate additional spectrum outside of its operating footprint
that could possibly monetize beyond their remaining 25%.</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;">Lastly, we continue to move forward on the sale of non-core
towers and hope to complete a sale this year. As we have said, we want to
complete this transaction before we consider the sale of any non-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;"><b><i><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">Ken Meyers</font></i></b></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;">Thanks Doug and good morning. I&#8217;d like to talk to you this
morning about the progress we&#8217;re making against the 2014 strategic priorities
that we set forth on the last call. As we discussed and as shown on Slide 6,
driving subscriber growth is our top priority. This is a function of both
increasing growth ads and managing churns. We are having real success
attracting new customers to U.S. Cellular. Core postpaid growth additions for
their first quarter increased 12% over last year despite a slower March.</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;">Competitively it was an intense quarter, we ran some
aggressive promotions as you can see in our loss of equipment, but these
results give us confidence that device portfolio and service plans will enable
us to compete in our footprint. In fact at this time last year before the
introduction of the iPhone our detections research told us that device
selection was the second most important reason given when customers left us.</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;">With the iPhone and other iconic 4G devices now in the
portfolio, a percentage of customer citing device selection has a reason that
they leave us has dropped, 75%. While the sales team had success filling the
top of the bundle, other parts of the organization were intensely focused on
addressing churn, and we are making progress. Voluntary churn looks to have
peaked in the fourth quarter. Customer service levels are now actually above
the levels experienced before we started the billing conversion. While billing
constraints still remain with some customers, voluntary churn so above the
levels of a year ago has dropped significantly, has expected to continued to
improve.</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 discussed in our 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, it has recently started to move
back toward more normalized levels. In the aftermath of the billing
implementation, we have been extending payment terms to allow time for
customers to clear up any questions about their bills, but we are now starting
to catch up on those non-payers. But we believe that we&#8217;ve worked through the
majority of the collections backlog and we have begun to see involuntary churn
and thus total churn improved.</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;">Improved churn combined with the success we&#8217;re having to
attracting new customers will allow us to stabilize and then begin to grow our
customer base again. In addition to improved customer service levels, we have
also made significant progress improving all operational aspects of the billing
system, though more work still continues. The key is making that work invisible
to our customers.</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 shown on Slide 7, our value
proposition revolves around the network. The quality of our network is core to
our strategy and we&#8217;re 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 liked
shared data plans and connected devices that our customers want.
Notwithstanding our loss in customers over recent quarters, the number of
smartphone users on our network has actually grown. In fact on a year-over-year
basis we have 16% more smartphone users at the end of the quarter.</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. We&#8217;re working to make U.S. Cellular even more relevant to wireless
consumers and businesses to Wisconsin, Iowa, Maine and Nebraska for example.
One small manifestation of this is some new advertising that is customized
market by market to drive our local network quality message.</font></p>

</DIV>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">We&#8217;re confident that all of these
components together with a network at the core, will make the U.S. Cellular
proposition resonate with our current customers and be attractive to new
customers.</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 to Slide 8, in order to improve margins overtime, we
must turn around our subscriber results, we also must drive additional revenue
growth on top of that. Getting the iPhone and other 4G devices to our smartphone
portfolio has accelerated smartphone penetration, now at 53%. Our shared
connect data plans are being well received by our customers and should allow us
to capitalize on skyrocketing data consumption. Connected devices provide an
opportunity to increase data usage and thus revenue per count without
significant subsidies.</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 of these activities are translating into additional data
usage and average revenue per unit, with core postpaid ARPU up 6% over last
year, despite the recently volatile pricing environment. We&#8217;ll continue to
adjust 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;">&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 finally Slide 9, we will look to offset the increase in
subsidy amounts caused by the costly 4G devices through programs such as the
recently introduced device installment plans. All in all we believe we believe
we have all the pieces in place to stabilize and then begin to grow our
customer base in 2014. As expected, headwinds related to the 4G smartphone
subsidies including the full year impact of the iPhone will impact
profitability. Part of the impact though on free cash flow will be mitigated by
lower capital spending as our build out of 4G LTE nears completion.</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 turn the call over to Steve, I&#8217;d like to share our
current thinking on providing guidance for revenues and profitability for 2014.
We continue to navigate significant factors that affected our ability to
forecast with confidence, including the unprecedented number of pricing moves
that have occurred so far this year.</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 ahead, we continue to believe there is a high degree
of uncertainty around future pricing moves, compounding that uncertainty is the
elevated churn we are currently experiencing. We have aggressive plans in place
to bring churn down. We cannot predict with accuracy how quickly we&#8217;ll achieve
our desired results. 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.</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 let me turn the call over to Steve Campbell.</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;">Thank you Ken and good morning. As stated in today&#8217;s press
release the year-to-year comparability of our first quarter financial
statements is impacted by two significant transactions that occurred in 2013,
the deconsolidation of the New York 1 and 2 partnerships in April and the
divestiture of the St. Louis, Chicago and other mid-western markets in May.
Given the timing of those transactions we will have one more additional quarter
the second quarter of this year for which the year-to-year comparability of our
reported results will be a challenge.</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;">To facilitate your understanding of our business performance
for the first quarter, we&#8217;re including in today&#8217;s presentation comparative
operating and financial results for the core markets where we&#8217;re now focused.
The majority of my comments will be related to these core market results.</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;">So beginning with customer results, shown on slide 10. In the
core markets, postpaid gross additions for the first quarter of 2014 were
197,000 an increase of 21,000 or 12% compared to a year ago. Postpaid churn for
the quarter was 2.3% up from 1.6% last year resulting in a postpaid net loss of
93,000 customers for the quarter. I&#8217;ll talk more about postpaid churn in a
minute.</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;">Prepaid net additions were 13,000 down from 31,000 last year
and the decline here resulted from lower net additions in the national retail
channel. For retail customers in total there was a net loss of 80,000 customers
this year compared to a net loss of 2,000 last year.</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;">Now I want to say a few more words about postpaid churn in the
core markets. Although it&#8217;s hard to see in the reported numbers, which showed
churn increasing both sequentially and year-over-year, the fact is that we&#8217;re
making good progress. 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.</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 Ken said earlier, what we experienced in the first quarter
was something of a shift from voluntary churn, customers leaving us on their
own accord to involuntary churn, customers we are shutting off for billing
their bills. As this chart shows, voluntary churn appears to have peaked in the
fourth quarter and although it&#8217;s still higher than we want, it is trended lower
since 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;">On the other hand, involuntary churn as expected and discussed
on our last call, spiked up in the first couple of months of the first quarter,
as we return to enforcing our normal collection practices and began to catch up
on the non-paying customers. However, just as </font><!-- Do not modify beyond this point! !--><a name=bcl_connect_next></a></p>

voluntary churn, we believe that we&#8217;ve 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>

<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;">Slide 12, shows the trends in Smartphone sales and penetration
in the core markets. During the first quarter we sold 467,000 Smartphones which
represented 73% of total devices sold. A year ago, Smartphones were 62% of the
total units sold. Smartphone penetration increased to 53% of our postpaid
subscriber base, up from 43% a year ago. So we still have a substantial number
of postpaid customers with basic problems which provides us with a good
opportunity to upgrade these customers to Smartphones and drive additional data
usage revenues.</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&#8217;re also seeing good progress in the adoption of 4G
technology. In the first quarter, 4G Smartphones represented 85% of all
Smartphones sold, increasing the percentage of Smartphones on our network that
are 4G capable to 82% this is an important point, it means that 82% of our
Smartphones are providing our customers with a high speed 4G we have experience
on a best in class network.</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 expected that the higher Smartphone penetration when
combined with our shared connect data plans will allow us to capitalize on the
continuing growth in data consumption. The penetration on these plans is now
13% up from 6% at year end and we&#8217;re pleased with the results that we&#8217;re seeing
with respect to the mix of shared data packages being selective by our
customers. </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;">These activities are translating in to increased ARPU. As
shown on Slide 13, postpaid ARPU grew by 6% year-over-year to $57.59 despite
the recently volatile pricing market. But looking at the increase from the
fourth quarter, remember that the ARPU for the fourth quarter was impacted by
the special reward point&#8217;s loyalty bonus that we gave customers in December.</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 ahead, we believe that there is a high degree of
uncertainty about future pricing limits. As we&#8217;ve done so far this year, we&#8217;ll
continue to adjust to the pricing environment to ensure that our customers get
not only the best overall experience, but also 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;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">Turning now to our financial performance, service revenues in
the core markets for the first quarter of 2014 were approximately $854 million
down 7 million or less than 1% from last year as the growth in ARPU will offset
the impact of the smaller customer base. Both retail service and roaming
revenues were relatively flat, whereas other revenues declined by approximately
$5 million reflecting lower EPC revenues due to the FCC's phase down of
Universal Service Fund report. In a recent announcement with importance for
U.S. Cellular, the FCC indicated that it&#8217;s open meeting in April that it
intends to delay the next step in the previously announced phase down of U.S. apps
support which is schedule for July 1st of this year while it completes its work
on the phase II mobility fund.</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 don&#8217;t yet know any of the particulars of the FCC plans, so
we can&#8217;t predict either how long ago they way will last or how the FCC will structure
and administer the mobility fund. </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;">Slide 15 shows additional financial information for the core
markets. In summary, adjusted income before income taxes for the first quarter
of 2014 was a $115 million down $58 million or 34% from last year. As I mentioned
a minute ago, service revenues decreased by about $7 million year-to-year. The
other major factor in the year-over-year change was loss on equipment which was
$198 million increased 50 million or 33%.</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;">LOE was driven by the continuing shift in mix to sales of
Smartphones overall and sales of higher cost 4G devices and of course by
industry competition. As a result, the average loss per unit sold increased by
43% from $206 to $295. We expect that equipment pricing will continue to be
very aggressive across the industry in the coming months and that our cost will
be impacted by the continuing shift in mix to Smartphone overall and to 4G
devices. However, we expect to offset the high subsidies through programs such
as the device installment plans that we launched in early April. </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;">Slide 16 shows total company, financial performance on an as
reported basis and does not reflect the adjustments to the 2013 figures to give
effect to the deconsolidation and divestiture transaction.</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;">First quarter&#8217;s operating income was impacted by certain costs
and expenses related to the divestiture transaction. 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.</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 period for record accelerated depreciation, amortization
and accretion ended with the first quarter so this expanse will not be
recurring in the future. Continuing on Slide 18, total company consolidated net
income was $19.5 million or $0.23 per diluted share versus 4.9 million or $0.06
per share last year.</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 effective tax rate was 40.6% in the quarter pretty
consistent with last year&#8217;s rate of 40.8%. For the quarter, cash flow from
operating activities was $64 million down from 224 million last year. This was
affected by lower operating income excluding the gains recognized on license
sales and exchanges.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">Cash use for additions to property,
plant and equipment in the quarter was $109 million reflecting significant
expenditures related to our 4G LTE network as well as for additional billing
system enhanced. Free cash flow for the quarter was negative $46 million. I
want to make just a couple of additional comments about U.S. Cellular's balance
sheet and financial resources.</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 balance sheet is found and we have significant liquidity
and financial flexibility together with expected cash flows from operations to
meet our anticipated financing needs. Cash collections improved during the
first quarter and customer accounts receivable are down nearly $80 million or
20% from the year-end level.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">At March 31st cash in short term investments totaled $439
million and we have about 200 to 80 million of unused borrowing capacity under
our revolving credit agreement. </font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">Okay. Thank you, Steve. Good morning everyone. On Slide 20 we
continue to execute on our strategic priorities at TDS Telecom. During the
first quarter we launched two new IPTV fiber markets bringing total TDS TV
markets to 13. 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 was announced yesterday.</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;">Our hosted and managed services business has been combined
under the OneNeck IT solutions brand and we have realigned our sale force in
many other operational functions. </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;">If you turn to Slide 21, 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.</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;">This strategy is a natural extension of our core wireline
business and built on last year&#8217;s investment in Baja Broadband. BendBroadband
is a provider of connectivity solutions in central Oregon with 2013 revenues of
70 million and over 79,000 homes past and businesses past serving one of the
most desirable and vibrant regions in the U.S.</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;">BendBroadband is a full service communications company with
strong market share and penetration rates that exceed industry averages.
BendBroadband has consistently invested in technology with fully upgraded
DOCSIS 3.0 plant in fiber connectivity which it leverages to serve both
residential and commercial customers.</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;">Additionally the acquisition includes a Tier 3 data center
which will be operated by our OneNeck leadership team to further grow the sales
pipeline and presence in western U.S. 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.</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;">If you turn to Slide 22, similar to Baja, these markets have
attractive demographics above national average household growth forecast and
strong economic development. We believe the markets served by BendBroadband
will not face significant fiber competition and therefore we will have the best
type to the home in these markets. BendBroadband has high penetration overall
than Baja, yet we believe the quality of the services provided will allow us to
capture additional market share especially for data.</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;">Given the investments the company has made over the years, we
see relatively low capital requirements and similar to Baja, we believe we can
create meaningful synergies through marketing many of our current product sets,
deploying existing platforms, tools and processes and leveraging central
resources and vendor relationships. 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 of 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;">Now before I cover the results in the quarter, I wanted to
call your attention to a change in revenue reporting in the telecom financials.
We are now breaking out equipment sales in the related cost of goods sold for
the consolidated telecom statement in each segment. Equipment revenues are
significant in the HMS segment for which a large component of the business is
the sales of technology solutions and hardware.</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;">These sales can be uneven and have significantly lower
margins. Segregating equipment sales from services will provide better
visibility into the ongoing HMS operations. For the wireline and cable segment,
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>

</DIV>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">Moving to the first quarter results on
Slide 23, we had a very solid quarter with excellent results from our wireline
cost control initiatives as expense reductions more than offset declines in
wholesale and regulatory revenues. Cable operations continuing steady growth
and HMS producing 8% organic growth in services 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, TDS Telecom revenues increased 21%
driven from both the Baja cable acquisition and the MSN acquisition. 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. Adjusted income before income taxes which is essentially
operating cash flow for TDS Telecom, grew 26% year-over-year or 14.9 million to
72.6 million in the quarter primarily driven by 9.5 million of increased
contribution from the wireline operation and the 5.1 million contribution from
the Baja acquisition. Without the effects of acquisitions, the business grew its
adjusted income before income taxes 16% or 9.3 million. </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 on Slide 24. Growth in data and
IPTV on the residential side and managed IP on the commercial side offset the
decline in legacy VOIP services. Wholesale revenues declined 8% primarily as a
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.</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;">However due to cost control initiatives, SG&amp;A declined 19%
or 10.9 million and cost of services declined 3% or 2 million from the same
period last year. As a result, operating cash flow margins improved 600 basis
points which drove a 17% increase in adjusted income before income taxes. This
is the fourth consecutive quarter in which the wireline reported growth and
adjusted income before income taxes as the entire organization continues to
stay focused on cost improvement initiatives.</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 a very high ILEC residential broadband
penetration of almost 70% we added 2,400 broadband net ads. This growth was
driven by Triple Play sales and IPTV markets as well as new data services
launched in our stimulus markets. We are nearly complete on our broadband
stimulus projects providing service in 37 of the 44 markets.</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 shown on Slide 25, residential broadband customers are
increasingly choosing higher speeds in our ILEC with 36% choosing speed of 10
megabytes or greater which is up from 29% last year driving increases in
average revenue per connection. As previously mentioned, we launched two new
IPTV markets during the quarter. We&#8217;ve been very pleased with the overall IPTV
uptake in ARPU results to-date. IPTV connections grew over 75% adding 6,900
subscribers compared to the prior period.</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 our newer fiber markets we are offering up to 300 megabit
data speeds. 97% of our IPTV customers are taking a Tripe Play bundle. 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.</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 the next page, our commercial voice and data communication
solution managed IP increased connections 27% year-over-year resulting in
commercial revenue growth of 1.5%. As you look at the cable segments on Slide
27, these results reflects Baja's second full quarter operations which was
acquired on August 1st 2013. We are pleased with the results to-date. In the
eight months we&#8217;ve owned Baja, we&#8217;ve seen annualized growth exceeding 10% in
both voice and broadband connections more than offsetting the decline in video
connections.</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;">Additionally, we've seen household growth in the market of 3%.
As a result of the customer growth, revenues increased to 22.5 million from
21.5 million in the fourth quarter, that&#8217;s in the fourth quarter of 2014.
Expenses include one-time cost associated with cost reductions, resulting in adjusted
income before income taxes of 5.1 million 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;">&nbsp;</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 services revenue which includes colocation, cloud,
application management and managed hosting services. Organic growth in
equipment revenues also increased 8% in the quarter, the acquisition of MSN,
our Denver-based solutions provider acquired on October 4th 2013 increased
revenues by 25 million and expenses by 24 million.</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 Slide 29 shows, 2014 guidance is unchanged from our
year-end call. As a reminder, we will update 2014 guidance for the
BendBroadband acquisition when it closes. I&#8217;d like to close by reiterating how
confident we are in the portfolio of companies we are operating today at TDS
Telecom. We believe our wireline business can generate consistent cash flow and
provide expertise in infrastructure to build our cable business.</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 thrilled to be adding BendBroadband to our family of
companies. We look forward to continuing to grow BendBroadband 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>

<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 will not turn the call back over to Jane.</font></p>

question around the iPhone, can you give some additional color around the
impact to underlying trends such as churn, gross ads, and what are you seeing
on ARPU as well? Thank you.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">Hi, Dan, it&#8217;s Ken Meyers here. I am not going to break out
ARPU by phone or churn by phone but what I will tell you is that, that it was
one of the components that has significantly both changed the churn profile as
I said. About this time a year ago before we introduced it a device selection
was the second biggest reason given when we were doing our churn analysis and
that has fallen all by 75% over the last year and that along with the other 4G LTE
devices that we&#8217;ve added to the portfolio, all the different smartphones that
are out there, clearly the drivers are now the 6% year-over-year increase in
ARPU. So we&#8217;re very happy with its position in the portfolio it&#8217;s about 30% of
our smartphone ads right now and that&#8217;s a very nice place for it to fit,
neither so big nor significant just one of quite a few very good products in
that area.</font></p>

was we started off the year hot and we actually pulled back some promotional
activity in March to really see how hungry was the market, how much is -- is it
promotional and the answer is, it's all promotional. We pulled back and as I
said, we were really -- we&#8217;re above the 12% January and February, were 12% for
the quarter after a slower March. Going forward, what we said is we will make
sure that we stay competitive with our pricing and promotions. But what you&#8217;ve
got going on right now as you&#8217;ve got a unique market where the actual switch or
pull looks to have opened up more, so we&#8217;re going to be active in it.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">Couple of questions, if I could. First one for Doug on the
buyback. You mentioned the basic fee it represents only one months of buyback
essentially because of the blackout period. Could you let us know what the average
length of the blackout period is and whether it was longer in 1Q and also in
general, is this a good level of quarterly buybacks or is it going to be
somewhat higher, because I remember last quarter you indicated that your
buyback was somewhat modest in this quarter, it was at about the same level.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">Yes Sergey, typically when we get to a quarter, we&#8217;ll have
what&#8217;s called a 10b5 in place, it allows us to continue to purchase through the
blackout that was not in place at year-end for various reasons. So typically
we&#8217;ll buy throughout a quarter. As far as what we can expect in the future,
we&#8217;re going to continue to be in the market at the right times, I don&#8217;t know if
I can give you a number as to how much that will be just given, I don&#8217;t know
what the market conditions are going to be.</font></p>

auctions particularly in light of [indiscernible] recent proposal of a two
phased broadcast spectrum auction where sound spectrum is going to be reserved
for players for this low band spectrum holdings. And also given your current
holdings and network roadmap, which spectrum do you think is a better fit for
you?</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 Sergey, complex question. We tried at couple of
different levels. One, I fully anticipate that we will be at both auctions.
What exactly the outcome will be is a function of structure which quite frankly
is still moving. It was a pretty thoughtful proposal that went out there,
because a lot of people got a lot of different orders in the water on this one.
And I think they is still movement on it. </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;">So it&#8217;s really difficult right now, while the rules are still
evolving to have any specificity around exactly what we&#8217;re playing how -- much
like other auctions. Certain part of this is definitely a make versus buy
decision. It&#8217;s about how do we deliver to meet the future demands on our
markets. Some cases we can do it with network assets, as opposed to spectrum.
At the right price the spectrum assets may be a more effective delivery mechanism.
So right now, I can&#8217;t give you much more than that. Yes, we like the
combination of having low band spectrum and high band in each market in order
to aggregate those going forward and get the most out of the speed. But -- and
we've a lot of progress in that area, that&#8217;s about as far as we can go right
now.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">Okay. And I have a couple of quick questions for Vicki. First
on the BendBroadband side, part of the business is essentially a datacenter
business and also there is a broadcast business as well. Could you share with
us what percentage of revenues is from datacenter services or from non-cable
services out of those 70 million?</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">Yes, so, yes, the purchase price did include value for
datacenter and cable advertising and broadband business. But cable is the
majority of it. We&#8217;re not breaking out the components of that at this 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;">Okay. And on the HMS side obviously, you broke out equipment
revenues and expenses starting from this quarter to highlight service
component. But still even if you look at the service, as the margins are
probably still below the levels you would like them to be. Could you talk a
little bit at what point do you think, there&#8217;s going be inflection point in
margins on HMS? And what are the steps that you are taking to improve those
margins over time?</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">Okay. Good question. As you know we&#8217;ve been -- we&#8217;ve acquired
our five companies. We have rebranded under one banner, OneNeck IT solution.
And we&#8217;ve been in the process of integrating the five companies and working to
achieve synergies both from a topline and an expense standpoint. I do expect
profitability to improve over the latter half of the year. And we&#8217;re looking to
grow that substantially from where we&#8217;re at now. And we are looking for higher
margins in our service revenue as we achieve these synergies.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">Thanks guys, I apologize it&#8217;s been a busy earnings day. I have
a couple of questions for you. Ken, first, I appreciate the color on the churn
chart, I agree with Phil, that&#8217;s very important chart that you&#8217;re watching and
we are. Were there any tablet sales in the quarter? Because obviously as we
watched all the other carriers in the market report a lot of carriers relied on
tablets to get the positive ads. Do you have tablets in your mix and what do
you think the future of tablets might be for you?</font></p>

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

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">We do have tablets in the mix; quite frankly they are relative
small part of our business right now. That&#8217;s because they really got introduced
late in the fourth quarter with the iPad, but that was very constrained in
terms of inventories. If I think about it, we have kind of have measured it in
the thousands of units, single digit.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">Okay. What are the other macro trends in the industry, you
guys have launched it now the device installment plans. What have you seen in
the first several weeks, I know it&#8217;s early, but when you listen to the other
carriers out there, I think they are quite shocked with their initial thought
of how much people would go to the equipment plans and how much they've seen a
few months later, so may be just an early indicator to what you&#8217;re seeing and
is it kind of surprising so far?</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">Ric, I really hate -- two weeks into the company, I&#8217;m trying
to draw a lot of lines off of it. The way that we&#8217;re approaching it is we think
of ourselves, on a distribution side as being a retailer and making sure that
we&#8217;ve got all the different products, consumer wants. And then work with them
to make sure they get the right product. So we will continue with the
subsidized model and we&#8217;re offering the device financing at the same time. And
we get to the second quarter, we&#8217;ll have three months of data that we can
really talk about, I mean there&#8217;s nothing that I see that is worrisome at this
point in time, it's just too early to try to try to give you whole bunch of
caller at it.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">And just to help us think through it going forward, I kind of
think it's one of the more complicated accounting issues we have
[indiscernible] faced. How should we think about modeling this going forward?
It&#8217;s helping most people the EBITDA because of the delay, you get the revenue
here, but you don&#8217;t have the subsidy, maybe I am just sorry, but it seems
pretty complicated.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">Ric it is pretty complicated and as we&#8217;re working though our
close for April, we&#8217;re trying to nail down all the specifics with our auditors
to make sure we&#8217;re on the line. But the current expectation is that on a 24
month device installment contract that we would recognize about half of that or
about 12 months of revenue upfront, along with an estimate of a trade-in value
if a customer elects to trade-in program. Of course you&#8217;ve got on the cost
side, the full cost on the device 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;">Great. And how -- I guess one of the things we get a lot of
questions on is, how are carriers going to get smart on trade-in value
assumptions, uncollectable assumptions. There is a lot of moving pieces in
becoming the financier of equipment; it helps EBITDA, stresses cash from a
working capital standpoint. Have you guys got enough intel do you think on
trade-in value allowance et cetera?</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">Well I think going in we will obviously make estimates around
all that. My expectation is that our estimates will be conservative and that we
will actively manage the risk on both sides of it. But that little question
right there, right that&#8217;s the big issue, 12 months from now that we&#8217;re going to
see a lot more visibility too and we will wind up probably taking a little bit
more of that cost upfront so to make sure that we don&#8217;t the surprise on the
back end but that&#8217;s one of the things the finance team's got to manage going
forward.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">And a quick question on the auctions. What is your understanding
as far as when you would be &quot;applying to participate&quot;? You mentioned
you anticipate participating rules are kind of in influx. But when do you
anticipate you would turn in I guess an application we&#8217;re going to participate
in AWS 3 and when would you turn in an application for the broadcast center.
Are there firm updates to kind of see when those are?</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;ll give you my estimate, and the first which is summer for
AWS and I am not going to make an estimate on the other ones because I think
there are not only questions around the complexity of that auction and
everything else but there is also an increasingly crowded, really sounds like
an increasingly crowded regulatory agenda that&#8217;s getting built. And how well
that stuff moves over the next couple of months is anybody&#8217;s guess.</font></p>
