  1. When coverage or capacity gaps are identified by the wireless carriers, Crown Castle will either: Provide a fix by easily & simply collocating on one of our towers, If we do not have a tower, we will identify another structure that will solve the problem, If there are no towers or other suitable structures, we will build a tower If a tower can not be built due to zoning or other impediments, we will build a distributed antenna system (DAS) Introduction to Crown Castle Our Mission is to deliver the highest level of service to our customers at all times – striving to be their critical partner as we assist them in growing efficient, ubiquitous wireless networks.

  2. Wireless Demand Mobile Wireless Bandwidth Demand Migration to 4G networks will drive bandwidth growth. • 3G base stations have only 10 MB of capacity. • 4G base stations will have approximately 300 MB of capacity, or 100 MB per antenna. (2) • Verizon began testing its LTE 4G network in 2009 • AT&T and Verizon have both targeted 2010 for their 4G network launch. • $19.4B wireless data revenue in 1H2009 = 31% increase over 1H2008 • Wireless data revenue represents 25% of total wireless revenue and growing Source: GeoResults, Inc. • Swanson and Gilder, Estimating the Exaflood, Discovery Institute, January 2008. • Fortune, November 7, 2008.

  3. Trends in DAS • Networks are moving to more data centric in nature • LTE and advanced networks • LTE air interface brings first true broadband air interface with sufficient speed to justify fiber backbones • Network design requires additional sites to achieve advertised throughput levels • Carriers are looking to get better in building and in home penetration • Capacity Constraints • Carriers are trying to get as much traffic as possible off the macro networks thru in building systems and Wi-Fi • Proliferation of smart phones lead to massive growth in data demand while voice traffic continues to grow as well

  4. Agreements necessary to deploy DAS Pole Attachments Right-of -Way Agreement required with each pole owner (electric and telephone companies) Pole owners require rent for each pole used Locality cannot deny access for wireless facilities DAS provider pays reasonable fees applied uniformly to all companies Hub Site Carrier Agreements Development interest dependent on carrier willingness to participate in network Carriers driven by economic considerations and public demand for service Location needed for central network equipment and carrier equipment Provider or Carrier must pay monthly rent for hub site on private land

  5. Right-of-Way Regulation Federal law mandates access Crown subsidiary is a state-certified CLEC Municipality can administer the right-of-way and set safety rules Fees must be reasonable and competitively neutral Local Regulation of DAS • Zoning/Land use control • Federal law preserves local discretion to review antenna siting • Locality is concerned with visual impact and delivery of basic services • DAS promotes wireless ordinance goals − low impact, shared facilities • Equipment of the same size is routinely installed on poles without local review

  6. Flexibility in DAS Solutions to Serve Local Goals Pelican Hill, CA Scottsdale, AZ Hunter Mill, VA Stanford University, CA Colonial Williamsburg, VA
