THE MISSION OF WIND MOBILE IS EMBODIED IN The Power of Conversation™

Simply put, we want to create the most unforgettably positive customer experience in Canada.

How? By speaking with you, not at or over you. By making every site you visit, every store you set foot in and every call you have with us into a meaningful conversation to help build something better - together. We'll make it as easy as possible to be a customer. You'll have more control over your mobile experience than you've ever had before. And you'll get all this at a price you can afford.The result of this vision, the core of what we all believe, is how it effects you ... our customers, our partners.

THE 2008 AWS SPECTRUM AUCTION SET THE STAGE FOR A COMPETITIVE TELECOMMUNICATIONS LANDSCAPE AND RAISED FUNDS BEYOND EXPECATIONS

6

• AWS Auction May 2008-July 2008

• Process insured through “set asides” that new entrants would have fair access to spectrum and competition could prevail

• After eight weeks and 331 rounds, 292 licences sold, the Canadian Wireless Spectrum Auction raised $4.3 Billion for the Canadian Government (original expectations quoted at $1 billion)

• WIND Mobile -- 30 licences could be the one to emerge as the new national mobile operator

• “The auction exceeded our expectations in terms of the level of competitive bidding activity. I hope the industry keeps this competitive spirit alive as it enhances and expands its services with improved access to the spectrum,” said Industry Minister Jim Prentice.

• Rogers, Bell, and TELUS are the predominant spectrum holders by regions with close to 80%* of the total spectrum across markets

• Bell and TELUS hold significant spectrum in every market nationwide (except Saskatchewan and Manitoba) but have decided not to build out their networks and instead rely on a network sharing agreement to serve their subscribers.

COMPETITION IS LEADING TO MORE INNOVATION LOWER COSTS AND SIGNIFICANT DIRECT AND INDIRECT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

13

Why Canada lags

• Regional oligopolies have reduced price and product competition steadfastly driving ARPU up and limiting product offerings

• Smaller size of market not ensuring optimal conditions

• Slower adoption of worldwide technology standards

Ready for change

• Massive re-investment in cutting edge technology

• Increased competition

• Mobile device costs over time have decreased

• Better speeds and improved technology

• No hidden fees

• Adopting international best practices

• Wireline replacement improving business efficiency

• Lower costs to mobile users

• Competition driving innovation in application

• Innovation in mobile payments, mobile commerce, social media…

NATIONAL, REGIONAL AND LOCAL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATIONS PLAY A CRITICAL ROLE IN CREATING A GROWTH BASED ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

14

• Drive public awareness on the importance of wireless telecommunications to local business

• Direct and indirect employment, income and taxation benefits to local communities

• Significant reduction in prices and delivery of advanced products to make local businesses and communities more efficient

• Facilitate fair and open access to deploy new infrastructure in communities according to the strict industry standards in place in Canada
