CREATING ROBUST COMPETITION IN THE 5G ERA There is a technology revolution on the horizon, and its called 5G. The race to lead the 5G economy requires a new type of company to drive competition, disrupt the status quo and help ensure America leads the way in this rapidly changing digital era. Only the New T-Mobile will be uniquely able to accelerate the countrys position and quickly deploy a broad and deep nationwide 5G network that will deliver better service and lower prices to consumers across all parts of the U.S. We will supercharge the pro-consumer, Un-carrier strategy to bring sustainable competition into the marketplace and create new jobs starting day one. As the 5G era accelerates, this consumer obsessed company will deliver innovation that customers demand and bring its disruptive nature to adjacent industries to force change for consumers everywhere. A Messagefrom the CEOs Global tech leadership for the next decade is at stake and ONLY the New T-Mobile will have the network and spectrum capacity to quickly create a broad and deep 5G network in the first few years of the 5G innovation cycle.
Leading the 5G Revolution It is absolutely imperative that the U.S. extends the global innovation, technology and economic leadership it seized during the 4G era. It is easy to forget now, but the 4G revolution unleashed innovation that led to the modern economy we interact with every day. Lyft, Uber, Snapchat, Tinder, Venmo, Square, Instagram these are companies that simply do not exist without 4G. But 4G didnt just create a herd of unicorns. Global leaders such as Facebook, Alphabet, Amazon and Netflix adapted their businesses and their growth exploded! 3 million new US jobs (800K in construction) $275 billion investment $500 billion economic growth Untold potential for innovation Global Economic Leadership is at Stake Source: CTIA All told mobile technologies accounted for 4.5% of global GDP in 2016 which is equivalent to $3.3 trillion in economic value.

SPARKING THE 5G ECONOMY AND ASSERTING AMERICAN LEADERSHIP The New T-Mobile will be the only company able to bring a broad and deep nationwide 5G network to market quickly in the critical first years of the 5G innovation cycle, ensuring Americas leadership position in the digital era. U.S. MUST Repeat its Leadership of 4G It is absolutely imperative that the U.S. extends the global innovation, technology and economic leadership it seized during the 4G era. It is easy to forget now, but the 4G revolution unleashed innovation that led to the modern economy we interact with every day. Lyft, Uber, Snapchat, Tinder, Venmo, Square, Instagram these are companies that simply do not exist without 4G. But 4G didnt just create a herd of unicorns. Global leaders such as Facebook, Alphabet, Amazon and Netflix adapted their businesses and their growth exploded! All told mobile technologies accounted for 4.5% of global GDP in 2016 which is equivalent to $3.3 trillion in economic value. 5G is Truly Revolutionary The capacity, speed and latency of 5G are truly revolutionary. CTIA estimates that 5G will ultimately connect 100X more devices at 100X faster speeds with 10 times projected reduction in response times. Think about what that means for all of the technology already being worked on right now and the applications we cant even imagine. 5G will unleash new ideas and uses in areas like mobile HD video, connected cities and homes, self-driving cars, smart agriculture, consumer wearables, mobile virtual reality and even more!! 3 million new US jobs (800K in construction) $275 billion investment $500 billion economic growth Untold potential for innovation Global Economic Leadership is at Stake Source: CTIA But Economic Leadership is on the Line! The projected economic impact from 5G is tremendous. The CTIA expects 5G could create up to 3 million new jobs and $500 billion in economic growth! Unfortunately, other countries see this opportunity as well and have taken bold steps that have given them a head start. CTIA ranks the U.S. behind both China and South Korea in 5G preparedness. Only T-Mobile Can Create the FIRST Nationwide 5G Network There is only one company that has the right mix of available spectrum, financial strength and management expertise to create the FIRST nationwide 5G network. That is the New T-Mobile! The lifeblood of the wireless industry is spectrum and to build a 5G network, you need the right mix of available lowband, midband and high band. Only the New T-Mobile will have the right mix of available spectrum. With Sprints expansive 2.5 GHz spectrum, T-Mobiles nationwide 600 MHz spectrum, and other combined assets, the New T-Mobile plans to create the highest capacity network in U.S. history. The U.S. must move quickly and our leadership can do just that. T-Mobile deployed nationwide LTE twice as fast as Verizon and three times as fast as AT&T.

UNMATCHED SERVICE AT LOWER PRICES FOR MORE CONSUMERS The New T-Mobile will supercharge the pro-consumer Un-carrier revolution to be a leading innovator and disruptor across industry lines Wireless Disruption Continues! The Un-Carrier strategy has forced dramatic change in the wireless industry. Weve listened to customers, solved their pain points and ushered in the era of Unlimited. We wont stop now! Together T-Mobile and Sprint will put that same disruptive, pro-consumer strategy into overdrive! With our enhanced network scale we will Lower prices! Our enhanced scale allows the New T-Mobile to compete at lower prices WITH NO END IN SIGHT! Outstanding Service! We will expand our unique customer service model to Sprint and deliver better coverage, reliability and speed! MORE competition! There will be a MAJOR expansion of competition into rural markets and for businesses of all sizes! Innovation that Drives Competition AcrossIndustries Consumers care about innovation, ease of use and quality of service. They also want all of it on their phone. That is why industry convergence is here. Did anyone think 5 years ago that AT&T would be the nations leading TV provider? Or that Comcast would have more postpaid phone net additions last year than AT&T and Verizon COMBINED? Thats nearly 10% of the total for all of 2017. Or that YouTube would offer LIVE TV? All content is going to the internet and the internet is going mobile VIDEO WIRELESS BROADBAND
We thrive on competition so we are happy to take on these lumbering giants with our consumer-first mentality and relentless focus on disruption. The new T-Mobile will be able to bring meaningful competition right to their doorstep with innovative new products that deliver mobile services across a variety of platforms and at dramatically faster speeds! That should worry all the companies converging into this space! Job Creation Nationwide This is a JOB CREATING transaction. We get it, thats not the industry standard, but we DONT DO STANDARD! We expect that the New T-Mobile will always have more U.S. employees on payroll than the prior standalone companies do now. How? We are going to invest about $40 billion over three years to integrate these companies, expand and capture the 5G opportunity. A huge portion of that investment is jobs. We are going to be investing in jobs to build the new cell towers to build out 5G, jobs to expand our U.S. call centers and jobs for the hundreds of new stores we intend to open across the country. In fact, nowhere will that growth be more prevalent than in rural America which is dramatically underserved today. We are building hundreds of stores in rural areas and will be hiring in local communities as we build out 5G.

VOICES FROM AROUND AMERICA The race to deploy tomorrows 5G networks is on. China, Japan, South Korea and others are doing everything they can to win. Thats clear from a recent Analysys Mason report, which found that China is currently leading the world in 5G readiness, with the U.S. closely behind. 5G will bring a wide range of economic and social benefits, including millions of jobs in communities across America. Every industry, including healthcare, energy, transportation, law enforcement, e-commerce, logistics, and education will be positively impacted. CTIA Race to 5G Report When countries lose global leadership in a generation of wireless, jobs are shed and technology innovation gets exported overseas. Conversely, leading the world in wireless brings significant economic benefits, as the U.S. has seen with its 4G leadership. These are the serious stakes that face American policymakers in the escalating global race to 5G. Roger Entner Founder, Recon Analytics
Our research shows China with a slight lead in 5G readiness, with South Korea and the U.S. close behind. The U.S. led the world in 4G, and the U.S. wireless industry is leading global 5G research and development with aggressive commercial 5G deployment plans that will benefit U.S. consumers. David Abecassis Partner, Analysys Mason Its a tight race. We can leapfrog [China and South Korea] and win this race. I feel confident that we will win the race. Meredith Atwell Baker President & CEO, CTIA With its wide range of possible applications, 5G technology promises to deliver substantial benefits to American consumers. Analysts predict that 5G would add $500 billion to our GDP and create 3,000,000 new jobs. A recent study by the American Consumer Institute estimated that the deployment of 5G networks in the United States would generate $1.2 trillion in additional consumer benefits.

JJL
Hey everybody! Im back!
You know what these videos mean it means I have big news to share!
MC
Actually this time WE have big news to share!
Thats right. John and I are here together to share some incredibly important news for consumers and businesses across the country.
JJL
Today, were announcing that T-Mobile and Sprint have reached a definitive agreement to come together and form a new, stronger company.
A company that will supercharge the Un-carrier strategy and create robust competition and lower prices across wireless, video and broadband. A company that will create thousands of new American jobs and the ONLY company with the capacity to quickly create a broad and deep nationwide 5G network.
So, Marcelo and I wanted to talk to you about what this all means.
MC
Thats right, John. This is very important. Because 5G is coming.
And what happens in the first few years of a new technology is crucial.
Look at 4G. The US led early with broad deployment. And that gave a generation of American innovators and entrepreneurs the opportunity to build services at scale.
Analysts estimate that Americas early 4G leadership added millions of jobs in this country and billions in US GDP. And in 5G, the stakes are even higher. Just to put this in perspective, the difference between 4G and 5G is the difference between black and white TV and color TV.
JJL
Global tech leadership for the next decade is at stake. And only The New T-Mobile will have the network and spectrum capacity to quickly create a broad and deep 5G network in the first few years of the 5G innovation cycle, the years that will determine if American firms lead or follow in the 5G digital economy. Listen, only T-Mobile and Sprint can do this together. We cant do this separately. And neither can Verizon or AT&T nor any of the other new players. In fact, for Verizon and AT&T to build a truly nationwide 5G, they either have to kick customers off LTE which would take years. Or build on their millimeter wave spectrum which, get this, would cost roughly 1.5 trillion dollars to cover the US nationwide. No one company has the breadth and depth of clear spectrum truly required to do this quickly except New T-Mobile. With Sprints incredible 2.5 GHz spectrum, T-Mobiles nationwide 600 MHz and our other combined assets, together, we will build the highest capacity mobile
network in US history. With 30X more capacity than T-Mobile today and speeds that are up to 100X faster. This is the kind of network needed to fuel the next wave of mobile internet innovation in the United States. And unleash the next generation of mobile internet super stars in the US just like we saw happen when 4G took off years ago! It is critically important that America and American companies lead in the 5G era. This will result in huge economic stimulus for the United States.
MC
And 5G will mean the combined company can create robust competition in wireless and beyond. Because in reality, this industry is no longer just 4 wireless companies.
Industry lines are blurring and wireless, video and broadband theyre all converging. AT&T is now the #1 TV provider in this country. Comcast entered wireless last year and added more postpaid phone customers than AT&T and Verizon combined! Charter is launching Spectrum Wireless this year. And more than 1 in 10 Americans already uses wireless as their only internet access. They have no home broadband at all. Its not the big 4 any more, its the Big 7 or 8.
JJL
Thats right, and when it comes to 5G, it is not even a Big 7 or 8, its about zero to one, and creating the one company that can build a 5G network America needs in the early formative years of 5G. We plan to compete aggressively in this converged marketplace. Because this combined company will have the scale and resources to bring real competition and unmatched value across the United States and drive down prices especially in rural America, for businesses and government customers, and in broadband. Did you know that the latest FCC figures from 2016 show that 51% of Americans have only 1 option for their broadband provider?
With nationwide 5G, we can end that and bring real competition and lower prices everywhere. And nowhere is that more important than rural America. In many of these communities, they already have very limited wireless choices usually between Dumb and Dumber or a myriad of other regional and MVNO players. We will change all that. Well build hundreds of stores and hire thousands of people to compete in rural America. And thats going to create more choice and competition for millions of Americans in rural communities.
MC
And when it comes to business wireless, Verizon and AT&T have 4X the number of business and government customers than we do together. Thats a lot of businesses and governments paying too much for too little in wireless, and together, with Sprints enterprise capabilities and the new companys combined resources, we can create a real alternative and give businesses and government customers real competition. And, the new company plans to hire more people to help us compete here, too.
JJL
Yep. And that is another reason this deal makes so much sense. Jobs! Let me be clear here: The New T-Mobile will create thousands of jobs. From Day 1 and every year thereafter, we will employ more people than Sprint and T-Mobile do separately. This deal is a net creator of jobs. Period! Dont take my word for it. We have a track record here. Five years ago, almost to this day, we merged with MetroPCS. Back then, people said it was bad for jobs, but fast forward to today, and 3X the number of people work on MetroPCS. That is our track record on job creation.
MC
And on top of that, the combined company will invest approximately 40 billion dollars in the business over the next three years. That is going to spur a huge wave of investment and economic stimulus, leading to the creation of thousands of new jobs. Plus, well put more pressure on all of the competitors to invest more across wireless, video and broadband to try to keep up and do better for consumers. So, this deal will create thousands of new jobs in the short term. And drive the broader economy across the country in the longer term.
JJL
This is an exciting day. I cant wait to bring the ultra-talented Sprint and T-Mobile teams together. If theres one thing Ive learned about the Sprint team in the last five years, its that they dont stop either. They keep fighting and pushing. And I have a lot of respect for that. And can you imagine what kind of competitive force these two teams will be together? Verizon and AT&T and Comcast and the others better watch out!
MC
Because We Are Coming
JJL
And We Wont Stop!
