18. TELUS to deploy 4G+ wireless LTE • Consistent with our strategy on technology evolution, TELUS announced the planned launch of its wireless 4G+ long-term evolution (LTE) network in 2012 • Construction on TELUS‘ 4G+ LTE network will begin in latter half of 2011 in major urban markets across Canada • TELUS' LTE deployment will use AWS spectrum purchased for $882 million in Industry Canada's auction in 2008 for this purpose • Potential rollout into rural Canada will be dependent on Industry Canada auction of frequencies in 700 MHz spectrum band Investment in LTE urban build is consistent with TELUS' consolidated capital expenditure targets for 2011

19. 700 MHz spectrum auction • 700 MHz spectrum consultation process ongoing – TELUS and other parties filed reply comments on April 6 • Access to 700 MHz for TELUS would support truly innovative broadband applications throughout Canada & bridge digital divide • TELUS most spectrally efficient major carrier in North America on a MHz per pop basis and has need for more capacity to support data growth • Cable companies and regional carriers have financial resources to bid and be successful in an open auction and should not be advantaged by access to any set aside spectrum To ensure that 700 MHz is utilized outside of urban areas there must be a “use it or lose it” build out requirement

20. 2500/2600 MHz spectrum auction • First round comments filed by TELUS and other parties on April 19 • Industry Canada to auction 60 MHz of clawed back spectrum plus additional spectrum in regions (Alberta, Atlantic Canada) where Rogers and Bell, through Inukshuk partnership, did not obtain 2600 MHz spectrum • 2500/2600 MHz spectrum aligns with 3GPP standards for LTE • Rogers and Bell • Currently have a de facto Canadian monopoly and head start in launching mobile services in this band • Should be restricted from bidding on clawed back spectrum to allow entry • Should be capped individually and/or together due to co-owned Inukshuk holdings Access to 2500/2600 MHz spectrum would allow TELUS to meet anticipated data demand in urban locations

21. Industry vertical integration update • Recent CRTC decisions support pre-existing principle of programming content non-exclusivity on reasonable commercial terms • Regulatory measures taken in U.S. for Comcast acquisition of NBC Universal set a good precedent • June 2011 public policy hearing on effects of consolidation and vertical integration in Canadian broadcasting industry • TELUS and the public believe CRTC needs to implement measures to effectively address and deter any anti-competitive behaviour by carriers from content ownership in a timely manner • Safeguards prohibiting carriage exclusivity and ensuring access to content on fair terms (price and packaging conditions) are essential to ensure sustainable competition • CRTC’s recent decisions reinforce pre-existing principle • that consumers need protection from undue preference • by carriers who own content
