Technology Strategy
TELUS launches HSPA+
� TELUS launched a full national next generation wireless service on November 5, 2009 based on the latest version of High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) technology
� This network reaches peak speeds of 21 Mbps and gives Canadians access to new next generation data services and applications
This initiative ensures a smoother transition to long term evolution � This initiative ensures a smoother transition to long term evolution (LTE) technology

Data traffic concentration
Over 70% of US mobile data traffic in 2008 was from laptops (Unwired)
5% of subscribers account for 80% of traffic (Unwired)
Mobile video will be 64% of traffic by 2013 (Cisco)
80% of data traffic in urban centers managed by 10% of cell sites (Infonetics)
Data traffic volume is a huge challenge; but traffic concentration represents an even bigger challenge
Spectrum & macrocell limitations
Spectrum is limited. Additional cells are required to address capacity demand, but costs are high.
LTE macrocells alone do not fully address long term capacity needs
Traffic is mostly indoors
Macrocell capacity, throughput are limited at the cell-edge and indoors

Data traffic is growing exponentially and clustering around in-buildings
Revenue balance is shifting
The traffic-to-revenue imbalance is increasing under traditional business models
The balance of application revenues is gradually shifting in favor of the offdeck ecosystem.
Operator challenges
� The Business is Shifting from Voice to Data
� Data Traffic is Growing Exponentially
� Data Traffic is Highly Concentrated
� Higher Proportion of Traffic is Occurring Indoors
� Traffic-to-Revenue Imbalance is Increasing� Traffic-to-Revenue Imbalance is Increasing
� Ondeck/Offdeck Revenue Balance is Shifting
� Network costs need to be reduced
� Operational costs need to be reduced
� Revenues need to increase
� Market Differentiation is critical
