(“AT&T Puerto Rico”), both indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of AT&T Inc. (collectively, “AT&T”),

Lower 700 MHz Band B Block licenses from Peregrine to AT&T Mobility. The Applicants state that the
additional spectrum will enable AT&T to increase its system capacity to enhance existing services, better
accommodate its overall growth, and facilitate the provision of additional products and services to the
public in three Cellular Market Areas (“CMAs”) in Florida, Minnesota, and Puerto Rico.
Preliminary review of the applications indicates that in the counties (i.e., Flagler and Putnam
counties) comprising CMA 364 – Florida 5-Putnam, AT&T would hold, post-transaction, 80 megahertz
of spectrum below 1 GHz.
