4G LTE Development in Global Market



Overseas markets with 2500/2600 MHz spectrum  Norway – three operators  Sweden – four operators



A few operators will rollout 4G LTE on other frequency bands  700 MHz band – Verizon and AT&T (U.S.) by end 2009/early 2010  2100 MHz band – DoCoMo (Japan) by 2011



Major European operators also plan to use existing 1800 and 2100 MHz spectrum for 4G LTE 2

4G LTE Development in Global Market

 4G LTE standard is frequency neutral – can be implemented on 700, 900, 1800, 2100 and 2500/2600 MHz bands

 Technology risk on LTE1800 is minimal  Network vendors will support 4G LTE on 1800MHz  Chipsets for 4G LTE terminals will support multiple frequency bands from Day 1  4G LTE on 1800MHz will be commercially ready soon after 2500/2600MHz

Our Valuation of 2500/2600MHz Spectrum

 To implement 4G LTE on 1800MHz, additional costs need to be incurred to build more cell sites to compensate for less spectrum in 1800MHz ($160m)

 To implement 4G LTE on the new spectrum, there is saving from return of excess spectrum to government ($140m)

 New spectrum value = $160m + $140m = $300m 4

Our Valuation of 2500/2600MHz Spectrum

 Spectrum value could be stretched up to $400m under:  A lower WACC, or  A very aggressive network implementation plan

 We pushed the bid price to $500m

We will implement 4G LTE on 1800MHz

Additional Advantages of 4G LTE on 1800MHz

 Better in-building coverage because of 



Lower frequency => superior in-building coverage, especially in the HK cityscape Higher cell site density in our 4G LTE on 1800MHz implementation

 For those who implement 4G LTE on 2500/2600MHz, 30% more base stations is needed to achieve the same level of in-building coverage

6

Additional Advantages of 4G LTE on 1800MHz



Rollout pace will not be bounded by BWA spectrum conditions



Savings in  Spectrum fee – over $500m  Performance bond – $150m

7

Speed & Capacity --2 sides of the same coin

 Currently very few broadband / Internet applications require speed beyond, say 5-8Mbps

 Customers’ broadband experience of speed depends on many factors, e.g. IPLC traffic / congestion and Internet servers’ capacity

 Higher network capacity is enabled by higher speed as more customers can be served simultaneously without compromising on usage experience

Migration to 4G LTE



We are already planning for 4G LTE implementation

 Our network is All-IP ready and providing unlimited backhaul capacity to cater for future demand of 4G LTE

 Our core network is also 4G LTE ready



We are working with technology partners to formulate an action plan to upgrade our network to 4G LTE on 1800MHz when required



We are also planning for an early trial of LTE technology
