ARCXtend(TM) solution enables cable MSOs to expand beyond residential

markets into $100B small and medium-sized business market

Arcwave, Inc. today announced availability of the industry's first wireless solution purpose-built to enable CableMSOs to profitably expand high speed data service beyond the limits of their cable plant and reach Small andMedium-sized Business (SMB) customers in their franchise areas. With their extensive fiber networks and advancedII' service capability, Cable MSOs are ideally positioned to target the 8 million plus domestic 5MBs and gamer asignificant share of the $1 OOB they spend annually on voice and data services. While an estimated 90% of these5MBs are within a few miles of cable operator's network, today operators are finding that many cannot be connectedbecause of cost, right of way, or timing issues. With the introduction of ARCXtend Cable MSOs can now provideservice to almost any 5MB customer without the hassle, delay, and oflaying new cable.

"Wireless access technology offers the potential for cable MSOs to significantly increase their penetration of thecommercial voice and data services market," said Lindsay Schroth, an analyst for the Yankee Group's BroadbandAccess Technologies research and consulting practice. "With the introduction of ARCXtend, Arcwave has made itpossible for Cable MSOs to deploy and manage a last mile wireless solution without a major capital or operatinginvestment. Because ARCXtend leverages existing network and support infrastructure, initial capital cost is kept lowproviding a financial model that enables cable MSOs to continue to grow their revenue base even in tight capitalmarkets."

"ARCXtend will enable us to satisfy the tremendous demand for high speed data serviee in our franchise area," saidTim Lenz, head of technieal operations for USA Media, a current user of the ARCXtend solution. "BeforeARCXtend we had to turn away commercial business because they were beyond the reach of our network.Arcwave's solution will helps us reach these customers without additional network build-out, and enable us toprofitably deliver broadband service to these customers."

ARCXtend transparently carries DOCSIS channels over high reliability wireless links. When an aerial or trencheddrop is not an option, a strand mounted ARCXtend AXI255 Network Hub can be deployed by cable technicians in amatter of hours to meet immediate service demand. An ARCXtend Network Huh can also be deployed on a utilitypole or other structure to provide wide area coverage to lucrative commercial districts such as office parks,campuses, or municipal complexes. In either configuration, customer access is provided by a standard cable modemconnected to an ARCXtend AX3 I 55 CPE installed at the customer site. The ARCXtend AXl255 Network Hub usescable-industry technology and communications protocols, including SNMP, enabling direct integration with existingnetwork infrastructure and network management systems. ARCXtend is also fully compatible with existing customersupport and provisioning tools.

The core of the XO backbone network is a mesh of OC-192 circuits, connecting XO Peering POPs and XO DataCenters. The XO OC-192 lP backbone runs completely across its own Inter-city facilities. Using a mesh of physicallydiverse OC-192 circuits, this backbone interconnects our five data centers with multiple high-capacity peeringinterconnections. Additionally, XO offers Dedicated Internet Access (DIA), DSL and Dial customers enhanced Internetconnectivity by connecting each DIA market to the OC-192 backbone with dual OC+12c SONET-protected circuits~ Thisnetwork design delivers maximum end-to-end throughput as well as high levels of protection and redundancy.

Our OC+192 backbone utilizes an advanced IP design, ensuring scalabllity as well as the ability to offer advanced futureIP services plus the added benefit of no single IP point of failure past the customers' access port

What's Hot

And since the XO OC-192 backbone and market connections run end-to-end across XO facilities, XO can quickly resolveany problems that may occur without any delays; this eliminates many of the common failure points found in oldernetwork designs.

Sprint Corporation

The Corporation

Sprint Corporation, incorporated in 1938 under the laws of Kansas, is mainly a holding company, with itsoperations primarily conducted in its subsidiaries. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to "Sprint,""we," "us," and "our" mean Sprint Corporation and its subsidiaries.

Sprint is a global communications company and a leader in integrating iong-distance, local service, and wirelesscommunications. Sprint is also one of the largest carriers of Internet traffic using its tier one Internet Protocolnetwork, which provides connectivity to any point on the Internet either through its own network or via directconnections with other backbone providers. Sprint is the nation's third-largest provider of long distance servicesbased on revenues, and operates nationwide, all-digital long distance and tier one Internet Protocol networksusing fiber-optic and electronic technology. Sprint currently serves approximately 7.9 million access lines in itsfranchise territories in 18 states, and we provide local service using our facilities, leased facilities or unbundlednetwork elements provided by other carriers in 36 states and the District of Columbia. Sprint is selling into thecable telephony market through arrangements with cable companies that resell Sprint long distance service anduse Sprint back office systems and network assets in support of their local telephone service provided over cablefacilities. Sprint also operates a 100% digital personal communications service, or PCS, wireless network withlicenses to provide service to the entire United States population, including Puerto Rico and the U.S. VirginIslands, using a single frequency band and a single technology. The PCS Group, together with third partyaffiliates, operates PCS systems in over 300 metropolitan markets, including the 100 largest U.S. metropolitanareas. The PCS Group's service, including third party affiliates, reaches a quarter billion people. The PCS Group,combined with our wholesale and affiliate partners, served more than 20 million customers at the end of 2003.

Sprint operates in an industry that has been and continues to be SUbject to consolidation and dynamic change.Therefore, Sprint routinely reassesses its business strategies. In light of events and specific changes intelecommunications, including bankruptcies, over-capacity and the current economic environment, Sprintcontinues to assess the implications on its operations. Any such assessment may impact the valuation of its longlived assets. As part of its overall business strategy, Sprint regularly evaluates opportunities to expand andcompiement its operations and may at any time be discussing or negotiating a transaction that, if consummated,could have a material effect on its business, financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

In the 2002 third quarter, Sprint reached a definitive agreement to sell its directory publishing business toR.H. Donnelley for $2.23 billion in cash. The sale closed on January 3, 2003.

In November 1998, Sprint's shareholders approved the allocation of all of Sprint's assets and liabilities into twogroups, the FON Group and the PCS Group, as well as the creation of the FON stock and the PCS stock. FONcommon stock and PCS common stock are intended to reflect the financial results and economic value of theFON and PCS Groups. However, they are classes of common stock of Sprint, not of the group they are intendedto track.

The FON Group is comprised of the global markets division, the local division and other businesses consistingprimarily of wholesale distribution of telecommunications products. The PCS Group includes Sprint's wireiessPCS operations.

On February 28, 2004, Sprint's board of directors decided to recombine the tracking stocks and return to a singlecommon stock. As a result, each share of the PCS common stock will convert automatically into 0.50 shares ofFON common stock on April 23, 2004. The FON stock will represent the only outstanding common stock of Sprint.After the recombination, Sprint will continue to present consolidated financial information, but will not includegroup level information. The recombination will not impact Sprint's current presentation of all required segmentinformation.

XO Tests Fixed Wireless Broadband AccessPosted on: 01119/2004

~Ptd~n

XO COmmunications, Inc. one of the nation's leading providers of broadband telecommunications services,today announces successful trials of its fixed wireless broadband access to dozens of customers in San Diegoand Irvine, Calif. The company says the trials mean it could significantly reduce "last mile" costs for itsbusiness customers and propel XO into the last mile market for carrier customers.

XO used USing local multipoint distribution system (LMDS) technology to testt fixed wireless access withburstable bandwidth capabilities from 1 Mbps up to 20~plus Mbps. The company says XO Fixed Wireless AccessproVides businesses and carriers with a cost-effective, high-speed access solution to deliver all types of dataand voice services including Internet connectivity 1 Ethernet, and VoIP services.

"These trials could be a very meaningful breakthrough for XO, in that XO can reduce "last mile" costs, XO canbecome even more price competitive than it is today for business customers. Additionally, this will allow XO tocompete in the multi-billion dollar "last mile market" for carrier customers that now use the local RBOC," saysCarl Grivner, CEO of XO Communications. Grivner adds there will be more trials before a national rollout canbe undertaken.

This fixed wireless technology works by connecting the end user through fixed wireless access to PoPs on theXO metro fiber network, thus eliminating the need for the RBOCs' last mile infrastructure. With direct access tobusinesses and carriers, the widespread deployment of this wireless technology can significantly reduce themulti-millions of dollars in access charge payments that XO makes each year to the RBOCs. This thirdgeneration fixed wireless broadband access, in conjunction with XO's long haul, IP and metro fiber network,

u.s. Wireline/Wireless ServicesWireless Broadband: The Impact of 802 TechnologyA Joint Study by Bear Stearns and TMNG

• THIS REPORT ANALYZES WIRELESS BROADBAND'S POTENTIAL IMPACT ON THETELECOM INDUSTRY. In ajoint study, The Management Network Group (TMNG)and Bear Stearns interviewed representatives of more than 25 organizations thatare actively engaged in the wireless broadband market, including radio, chipset,and device manufacturers, established and upstart service providers, and financialinstitutions with investments in wireless broadband. We addressed thedevelopment of next-generation wireless broadband technologies, includingWiMAX (802.16) and Mobile-FI (802.20), and their potential impact on wirelineand wireless carriers. We believe this report provides a comprehensive overviewof fixed, portable, and mobile services using these technologies.

• KEy CONCLUSIONS. The study has led us to four conclusions: I) fixed wirelessbroadband service should not dislodge or disrupt existing broadband service inurban and suburban areas, but could be attractive in less competitive areas, e.g.,rural geographies; 2) portable service will likely be dominated by WiFi due to itsearly lead, low cost, and value proposition for users; 3) mobile service presents thegreatest opportunity for WiMAX and Mobile-FI and could replace traditionalbroadband, but this application will take longer to develop and will likely requirelicensed spectrum, potentially limiting how carriers deploy the service; and 4)backhaul and campus opportunities exist, but simply represent a new product suiteto complement existing wire line and wireless solutions.

• IMPACT TO SERVICE PROVIDERS. We believe that potential winners include ruralcompanies looking to expand their broadband reach, IXCs seeking to reduce theirdependence on incumbent networks, and wireless companies with licensedspectrum who can complement their current 2.5/3G buildouts. Near term, we donot expect these technologies to be disruptive to existing telecom providers, but wethink they offer enough potential to warrant careful monitoring.

Installation of service for customers requires careful engineering. This processis highly manual and expensive, comparing unfavorably to the automated selfinstall procedures being enacted by most cable and DSL providers.

Inter-carrier agreements between WISPs allow for actionable spectrumsharing, but only in cases where operators are willing or able to work in goodfaith. Large-scale deployment would complicate these arrangementsexponentially.

• Scarce resources such as free spectrum will necessarily disappear as profitopportunities materialize. This is the so-called "tragedy of the commons," whichhas led regulators worldwide to issue spectrum licenses for wide-areaapplications.

Turning our attention, therefore, toward licensed spectrum, the MMDS bands seemthe most likely candidates in the United States. Cellular and PCS spectrum is alreadyin short supply, at least in major markets, and the likelihood of a mobile carrierdedicating this spectrum to a fixed application seems low. Sprint and Nextel are themajor owners of U.S. MMDS spectrum today.

What About Additional Spectrum Allocation?

While this alternative has received some attention recently and is being activelypursued by Intel and others, it is a distant solution, given the strength of variouslobbying groups who would oppose such measures. The lobbying against additionalunlicensed spectrum would most likely be led by broadcasters (who are likely to bedisplaced or dispossessed of existing spectrum), wireless carriers (who paid for theirspectrum), and wireline players (who stand to lose from market entry by any newplayers). This, combined with the inherent slowness of the regulatory process, makesnew spectrum allocations, licensed or unlicensed, unlikely over the short to mid-term.

Outside the U.S., spectrum availability must be assessed on a regional or nationalbasis. It is very difficult to generalize, owing to differences in the frequency range,number of licenses, block size, and timing of spectrum allocations from individualregulators. The nature of license holders also varies significantly, with incumbentcellular or fixed line operators often facing restrictions. Nonetheless, efforts towardglobal harmonization of wireless broadband spectrum allocations are under way. Our

TOWERsTREAM: FCC RULING TO STRENGTHEN DEMAND FOR WIRELESS BROADBANDALTERNATIVES

Middletown, R.I.-~-December 17, 2004---0n Wednesday, December 15, the Federal CommunicationsCommission (FCC) ruled that Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers (ILEes) such as Verizon and S8C are no longerrequired to subsidize their competition, the Competitive Local Exchange carriers (CLEes) in high-densitymetropolitan areas. It is widely recognized that the FCC fullng will empower ILECs to raise prices on T-l and OS3loops in dense urban environments.

The only way to avoid the impending rise in prices is to bypass the ILEe's wires altogether. TowerStream, whichprovides business-class wireless Internet access to over 700 businesses in five major metropolitan areas, andother broadband fixed wireless providers, currently represent the only alternative for businesses to completelysever ties with the phone company for their telecommunications needs, keeping prices low. Over the past 4 years,businesses have been replacing their T-l and 053 Internet access with TowerStream's guaranteed wirelessservice.

''The FCC ruling casts uncertainty over the CLEC industry for months and perhaps years to come," said JeffThompson, President and COO of TowerStream. "Subsidies have been steadily declining, and have now reachedthe point where ILEes will have no constraints to raise their T-l prices in dense urban areas. TowerStream's urbanbusiness model has successfully demonstrated that it is possible to provide facilities-based competition withoutreliance on the incumbent's facilities. Most businesses don't realize that there is a cheaper, faster, more reliablealternative to their phone company's service that is available right now."

Towerstream provides Tl up to 100 Mbps connections to businesses in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Bostonand Newport/Providence. TowerStream fully supports VoIP, allowing customers to bypass the phone companiesfor both their Internet and phone solutions.

Providing WiMAX Fixed-Wireless Internet Access & IP Network Design

Page 1 of2


Technology

The MetroTap 802.16a WiMAX SystemMetroTap is a revolution in fixed wireless 802.16a WiMAX connectivity. Never before has awireless system had so much customer reach. network capacity and failsafe redundancy.Tapping into the COfe of a city's fiber+optic network, MetroTap uses diverse multi-carrier fiberoptic routes located within a fully redundant facility, forming the root of its network access.From there, MetroTap utilizes redundant FCC licensed OC·12 backhaul radios to create itsown "wireless fiber ring" in the sky, extending the power of its root network connectivity tostrategic distribution points located on high-rise rooftops throughout a city'S greater urbanareas. Using industry breakthrough, next-generation point-to-multipoint radios deployed onthese rooftops, MetroTap will provide unprecedented Non-Une-of-Site broadband Internetaccess to over 90% of the city's establishments. With redundant service agreements enabling99.999% network availability and broadband burst speeds up to 144 Mbps per redundantclien\. MetroTap will bring the power of fiber-optic connectivity to customers without thephysical and financial burdens related to fiber. Through its cost efficient network design andthe power of extensive coverage area per distribution point, AirTap will be able to offer itscustomers a 30 to 60 percent savings over its competitors, attracting current fiber customersas well as those establishments unable to justify the steep costs of fiber connectivity.Additionally, MetroTap can be utilized worldwide, from increasing the integrity of nationalsecurity to quickly deploying a solid wireless IP infrastructure in the rebuilding of Iraq.

Previous Wireless FailuresPrevious attempts to complete the metropolitan end-mile wirelessly have had limited success.Ventures such as Teligent, WinStar and Advanced Radio Telecom raised funds and partiallyconstructed metropolitan area networks with lMDS licensed equipment but found theirterminal downfall directly related to the frequencies in which they operated. The lMDSfrequency spectrum was auctioned off in the mid-to~late 1990's by the FCC for millions ofdollars per city coverage area. These expensive licenses provide some protection for serviceproviders. However, they are located so high up the frequency chart that point-to-multipointservice coverage is extremely limited in range. The only solution to overcoming such limitedcoverage areas was to mass deploy metropolitan areas with dozens of cost prohibitivenetwork distribution points. The costs of the carrier-class wireless equipment and FCClicenses elevated initial cash outlay and recurring operating expenses to the point wherethese wireless providers could not effectively compete with traditional wired carriers.

Current Wireless SuccessesThe majority of current successful wireless ventures are serving the Internet bandwidth needsof residential and smallAo-medium sized businesses located in tier two and three markets.These WISPs (Wireless Internet Service Providers) tend to be smaller start-up operations anddeliver wireless Internet access using the unlicensed ISM (Industrial, Science, Medical) 2.4

We take a closer look at TowerStream, the fixed-wirelessservice provider building a pre-WiMax cloud over majormetropolitan areas to growing success.

Now TowerStream Corp., the first service provider member of theWiMAX Forum, which recently al1J]ounced its planned entry into theLos Angeles market, appears to be following in their footsteps~albeit

with a few telling differences.

A few years ago, fixed wireless access providers like WinStar andTeligent famously flopped after invcsting millions in Local MultipointDistribution Services (LMDS) in major population centers so theycould offer high-speed network connectivity mainly to small andmedium-size enterprises.

For one thing, TowerStream is using much lower-cost and morereadily available pre-standard 802.16 infrastructure equipment fromAperto Networks and Alvarion, which operates in the license-exempt5GHz band. One of the reasons LMDS providers failed is that theyhad to pony up for expensive spectrum licenses and then buyinfrastructure equipment at premium prices in a not very competitivemarket.

When TowerStream launched four years ago, memories of the LMDSdebacle were still fresh.

"We really wanted to learn from everybody else's mistakes," sayspresident and COO Jeff Thompson, one of the co-founders. "We knewwe didn't want to keep replicating old telecom models as we could seeothers doing. We wanted it to be scalable and reliable and we wantedto make a lot of money."

Sure. Easy.

TowerStream isn't there quite yet, but it has taken some significantstrides. It first launched service in Boston and Providence R.I., itshome base, in 2002. By earlier this year, it was in three major markets,including New York City.

It charges $500 a month for T-I equivalent service with a standardservice level agreement (SLA) guaranteeing 99.99 percent up time. Itcan also provide a 100-Mbps service for enterprise customers, usinginfrastructure equipment from DragonWave. In June 2003 it movedinto the concrete canyons of Manhattan.

"That roll-out went very well. We got a lot of experience and learned alot about opening new markets, about expanding the company, abouthow to make a roll-out better and how to give customers what theywant. It was magnificent," says Thompson, who is nothing ifnotenthusiastic. (We're guessing this is code for, 'It was a mammothchallenge that we somehow got through.')

Chicago came next, in March of this year. The company's short-termgoal is to be in 10 top markets. However, the ten are not necessarilythe ten biggest, Thompson notes~ "It's not purely population. We'relooking at markets, visiting each one to see which are best forTowerStream." Its current pace is two new markets a year. "We'llhopefully be there [in I0 markets] by the end of 2006, but we don'thave a stick in the ground [that says it has to be by then]," he says.

The company hopes to be up and running in Los Angeles, its fourthmajor market, by end of QI 2005. "We had a great response from a lotof businesses in LA when we announced we were coming," he says.

TowerStream is avoiding one mistake of the LMDS pioneers-it's notrelying on windfall venture capital financing to fund its roll-out. Themoney market is different today in any case: the tens of millionsavailable to WinStar et al just aren't there today. TowerStream's costsare also lower, as noted, so capital requirements aren't as onerous.Still, the company's "self-funded, organic growth model," asThompson terms it, is one reason it's not moving faster. He is acutelyaware that the right timing is critical.

"If we go too fast," he says, "we could end up like our predecessors,but if we do it too slow, we'll miss opportunities."

The organic growth model depends on getting markets up and runningand generating significant revenues that the company can then ploughback into opening more new markets.

"We're still a relatively small company," Thompson says, "but we'restarting to grow now. We have over 700 customers today and that willquickly approach 1,000 now that those markets [Boston/Providenee,NYC, Chicago] are starting to ramp up." Last year it doubled revenueswhile only adding lour new employees, bringing the total to 33."When you can double revenue and only add four new staff, that'sineredible," he says.

During the past decade. AT&T has been jettisoning divisions faster than a heavyweight fighter sheds pounds trying to get back in shape for a shot at the title: NCR in '94; Belllabs in '96; AT&T Cable, AT&T Wireless in '01; Excite@Home, Small Business Hosting accounts in '02. Earlier this year, it announced plans to stop pursuing residential andlong-distance voice customers altogether.

White Paper: IT Consolidation withLlNUX Includes case studies and more!

I met with Hossein Eslambolchi - CIO, eTo,SPONSOR and president of global networking technologyCovad VolP will keep your business a services at AT&T - over a light dinner to discuss

step ahead Click here for a free analysis, AT&T's IT strategy for the next decade. In aword, that strategy comes down to services. Not

Sponsored by Covad voice services, or even VoIP, but SolP (servicesover IP). Eslambolchi told me emphatically, justshort of pointing his fork at me, that AT&T is no

SPONSOR longer a voice company. It is a data company.

The stats, albeit from AT&T, appear to back upSponsored by: liP that claim. Its IP network handles 1,700TB of

data per day, while its pUblic switched networkhandles 450TB per day. SolP includes IPsecurity, application hosting, managed network

services, and mUltimedia, including HD-TV over IP and radio over JP.

Here's one example of what a company can do when it handles that much data on a dailybasis.

Stochastic analysis, a form of statistical probability that looks at past behavior patterns toidentify and predict future behavior, depends on sampling. The larger the samples, thecloser to 100 percent accuracy in identifying a reoccurring pattern at a very early stage

AT&T has a security service called Internet Protect. It uses stochastic processing and an

Eslambochi went a step farther to say that Internet Protect is getting so accurate thatcompanies will soon be able to eliminate on-site firewalls.

"With that much data, stochastic becomes near foolproof," Eslambolchi said.

AT&T is also moving aggressively on other technology fronts. It spends $8.5 billion annuallyin fees to the lLECs (Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers) for last·mile connection tobusiness customers. You might say Ma Bell is not amused.

To dramatically reduce those connection costs, AT&T will use WiMax, mesh networks, andother broadband wireless technologies as a battering ram to bring down the walls of thosegreedy IlEGs.

In 12 to 18 months, AT&T will run trials in two undisclosed cities to use WiMax for the lastmile connection to customers. AT&T has identified approximately 245,000 buildings withinthe United States that house business customers. AT&T is directly connected to 7,000 ofthose. WiMax in particular will be a way to connect to the next 100,000, Eslambolchi said.

With the largest IP network in the world, Eslambochi also said computing power will take place; not at the end points or at the edge, but within the network. It is all aboutpolicy-based computing, which allows policies or rules to travel with the data in the network so that decisions can be made simultaneous with generation of data.

This is the world according to Eslambolchi. Worth watching, don't you think?
