SIZE="2">Wireless Devices

We believe that our status in the U.S. wireless industry has enabled us to become a wireless service
provider of choice for wireless device manufacturers and has helped us to develop exclusive wireless device offers for our customers and branded handsets that complement our focus on high-quality service and an optimal user experience. The handsets
that we offer are predominantly EV-DO enabled. In addition, certain of these handsets have HTML-browsing capability. We refer to these handsets as “smartphones.” We offer smartphones from RIM, Palm, Samsung and Motorola, and we have
GSM-enabled smartphones that operate on GSM networks outside of the U.S. We also offer several smartphones that include touch-screens, such as the Blackberry Storm, Samsung Omnia, LG Voyager and LG Dare.

STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px" ALIGN="justify">Our customers can access the Internet wirelessly at broadband speeds on their computers via data cards that we offer, using EV-DO-enabled handsets with
connector cables, and on certain OEM laptop computers with embedded EV-DO Mobile Broadband modules.

All of the handsets that we offer
comply with the FCC’s E-911 requirements. The majority of our handsets are also Bluetooth compatible.
