Telecom Capital Spending

Capex Commentary

nContinued capital spending in wireline reflects burgeoning demand for voice, data and
video transmission

nRBOCs will continue to constitute the vast majority of U.S. fixed line investment

nSignificant portion of RBOCs’ capital budgets are expected to be from fiber deployments,
including fiber to the cell site initiatives

competition from cable companies

“… […] we will continue to invest in developing new products and services and
related businesses. We have IPTV in three markets basically using the same model
that AT&T uses with the Microsoft middleware. We have an Impact 4 Head End in

Missouri and basically, we use the fiber network that you saw to take the national
content out of that impact for Head End, put a local Head in, a mini-Head in, in an
area to take the off-the-air channels and combine the two and basically provide a
video product for our customers. We're in the stage of a soft launch of video, IPTV
video, in the Las Vegas market and expect to be rolling out other, more densely
populated markets in the EMBARQ footprint sometime next year.”

Glen Post III - CenturyLink - Chairman and Chief Executive OfficerSeptember 2010

Cable Capital Spending

Capex Commentary

nContinued capital expenditures on bandwidth reclamation, VOIP and HDTV product
offerings, and cellular backhaul

nOngoing plant and network enhancements are critical as cable operators continue to
offer services that require greater reliability

nNetwork capacity and reliability increasingly crucial as cable companies compete with
traditional telecom firms

“We think, with all the devices that are coming out and WiFi being more ubiquitous,
that clearly people are going to see broadband as a more important part of their
household set, whether it's economy broadband at a lower price or whether it's 50 or
100 megabits, depending on what people want in their home. So we're really going to
focus on how do we expand that market. Obviously, the FCC is very focused on how
to expand that market as well, and we think that there will be upward pressure to
expand that market as well as -- and, we hope, to participate and take greater share
from that expansion as well as take share from some of our competitors.”

Mike Angelakis, Comcast -Chief Financial OfficerSeptember 2010
