________
(1) Postpaid subscriber net additions by platform (iDEN and CDMA) have been modified for all periods presented to include subscribers that migrated between network technologies, which were previously excluded. This change in
presentation of previously reported amounts had no effect on total retail postpaid net additions or other subscriber related performance metrics in any prior periods and better reflects Sprint's trend of subscriber activity by network
technology.
(2) Includes subscribers with PowerSource devices, which operate seamlessly between our CDMA and iDEN networks.
(3) In the first quarter 2009, Boost Monthly Unlimited was launched on iDEN. In the first quarter 2010, Boost Monthly Unlimited was launched on CDMA.
(4) Reflects the transfer of 4,539,000 Prepaid and 835,000 Postpaid subscribers from Wholesale and affiliates as a result of the business combinations completed in the fourth quarter 2009 as well as the third quarter 2010 transfer of 49,000
Wholesale and affiliates subscribers from Prepaid as a result of a sale and transfer of customers to an affiliate.
(5) Churn is calculated by dividing net subscriber deactivations for the quarter by the sum of the average number of subscribers for each month in the quarter. For postpaid accounts comprising multiple subscribers, such as family plans and
enterprise accounts, net deactivations are defined as deactivations in excess of customer activations in a particular account within 30 days. Postpaid and Prepaid churn consist of both voluntary churn, where the subscriber makes his or
her own determination to cease being a customer, and involuntary churn, where the customer's service is terminated due to a lack of payment or other reasons.
