New Bundles: What We’ve Been Up To

Why We Made Changes1. Competitive Response

– Lacked sub $70 digital product– Pressure from Telco hybrid bundles

2. Consumer Requests– Desire to be “bundled”– Strong demand for Video & Net bundles

3. Financial Benefits– Bundled customers = lower churn– New bundles and promotions offer improved margins

Credit Scoring: What We’ve Been Up To

Implemented Credit Scoring in July 2009

Use Equifax credit risk model integrated directly into CSG workflows Chose wireless credit model, not same as FICO

All new connects and restarts across all sales channels are scored

Current customers wishing to upgrade, transfers and seasonal restarts do not get scored

Customers must score 600 or higher to pass Failing customers must pay $100 deposit if they wish to

connect

Why We Made Changes: 40% of our new connects will disconnect before their 1 year

anniversary Half of those disconnects - 20% of the sample - were non-

pays Half of non-pays – or 10% of all new connects - disconnect

within 1st 120 days 60% of Direct Sales new connects are gone within 12 months Each non pay disconnect costs us over $500 in capital and

operating investment losses! Bad debt, equipment losses, cost to acquire, install & disconnect

costs, etc.
