FCC FORM 603 EXHIBIT 1 Page 1 of 17 DESCRIPTION OF TRANSACTION AND PUBLIC INTEREST STATEMENT By this and other contemporaneously filed FCC Form 603 assignment applications, the applicants respectfully request consent to a number of simultaneous assignments of Advanced Wireless Service (“AWS”) and Personal Communications Services (“PCS”) spectrum by and among (i) a subsidiary of T-Mobile USA, Inc. (“T-Mobile USA”) and (ii) Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless (“Cellco”) and its licensee subsidiaries (together, the “Parties”), as described herein. These assignments involve only the transfer of spectrum; no network or other assets or customers are involved. The assignments are, in all markets, intra-market license exchanges that will enable more efficient operations resulting from larger blocks of contiguous spectrum and/or the alignment of spectrum blocks held in adjacent markets. All of these intra-market exchanges involve the exchange of an even amount of spectrum, where neither Party will increase its spectrum holdings in the market. For the reasons set forth in more detail below, the Parties submit that Commission approval of the proposed transactions is consistent with the public interest, convenience and necessity and that the applications should be approved expeditiously and without conditions. Description of the Parties One of the Applicants, T-Mobile License LLC (“T-Mobile License”), is a whollyowned subsidiary of T-Mobile USA and, indirectly, T-Mobile US, Inc. (“T-Mobile US”), a publicly traded company, and part of the family of companies that operate under the T-Mobile® and MetroPCS® brand names. Deutsche Telekom AG, a publicly-traded German company based in Bonn, Germany (“DT”), holds a 65.58 percent interest in T-Mobile US through its wholly-owned subsidiary T-Mobile Global Zwischenholding GmbH (“T-Mobile Global”). This subsidiary owns all of the equity and voting interests of T-Mobile Global Holding GmbH (“T-Mobile Holding”), which owns all of the equity and voting interests of Deutsche Telekom Holding B.V. (“DT Holding B.V.”), which in turn holds the 65.58 percent interest in T-Mobile US. The remaining 34.42 percent interest in T-Mobile US is held by public shareholders. Led by a management team with decades of collective experience in the telecommunications industry, T-Mobile US is headquartered in Bellevue, Washington, offers nationwide wireless voice and data services to consumer and business customers and provides service to over 50 million subscribers. The Commission has repeatedly found that T-Mobile License and its controlling companies have the requisite character
FCC FORM 603 EXHIBIT 1 Page 2 of 17 and qualifications to hold Commission authorizations.1 An FCC Form 602 providing current ownership information for T-Mobile License is on file with the Commission.2 The remaining six applicants include Cellco and certain of its subsidiaries: Fresno MSA Limited Partnership (“Fresno”), GTE Mobilnet of California Limited Partnership (“GTE Mobilnet California”), GTE Mobilnet of Indiana RSA #6 Limited Partnership (“GTE Mobilnet Indiana”), GTE Wireless of the Midwest Incorporated (“GTE Wireless”), and Verizon Wireless Personal Communications LP (“VZWPC” and, collectively with Fresno, GTE Mobilnet California, GTE Mobilnet Indiana and GTE Wireless, the “VZW Licensees”). Cellco is a general partnership that is ultimately owned by Verizon Communications Inc. The Commission has repeatedly found that each VZW Licensee has the requisite character and other qualifications to hold Commission authorizations.3 Additional information as to Cellco’s ownership is provided in its Form 602, which is on file with the Commission. Description of the Transaction Pursuant to a License Exchange Agreement dated as of July 6, 2015 (the “Exchange Agreement”), the Parties will exchange the portions of their AWS and PCS full licenses as described immediately below. (i) T-Mobile License has agreed to assign to Cellco the portions of T-Mobile License’s licenses as shown in Applications 1 and 2 (collectively, the “T-Mobile License Cellco Exchange Licenses”); (ii) T-Mobile License has agreed to assign to Fresno the T-Mobile License license as shown in Application 3 (the “T-Mobile License Fresno Exchange License”);

The T-Mobile License Cellco Exchange Licenses, the T-Mobile License Fresno Exchange License, the T-Mobile License GTE Mobilnet California Exchange License, the T-Mobile License GTE Mobilnet Indiana Exchange License, the T-Mobile License GTE Wireless Exchange Licenses, the T-Mobile License VZWPC Exchange Licenses, the Cellco Exchange Licenses, the Fresno Exchange License, the GTE Mobilnet California Exchange License, the GTE Mobilnet Indiana Exchange License, the GTE Wireless Exchange License and the VZWPC Exchange License are referred to herein, collectively, as the “Exchange Licenses.”
FCC FORM 603 EXHIBIT 1 Page 4 of 17 The license assignments described above will all occur concurrently at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Closing”). Transition Issues The transaction involves only assignments of spectrum and does not include the transfer of any other assets, facilities or customers. There will be no loss of an existing service provider in any of the market areas subject to these transactions. The VZW Licensees are using some of their Exchange Licenses to provide service to customers. The VZW Licensees will continue to provide service on exchanged spectrum. Similarly, T-Mobile License is currently using some of its Exchange Licenses to provide service to customers. T-Mobile License will continue to provide service on exchanged spectrum. Therefore, these transitions will not result in any discontinuance, reduction or loss of service to customers. The Parties have entered into pre-closing spectrum manager leasing arrangements to allow the Parties to utilize some of the Exchange License spectrum pending the Exchange Closing, thereby expediting the realization of public benefits associated with spectrum efficiencies. These pre-closing leasing arrangements will commence, marketby-market, on the date set forth in each lease notification as it is filed, and all will terminate upon the Exchange Closing or the termination of the Exchange Agreement (but in no event later than one year following the execution date of the pre-closing leases). The Parties intend to file the cancellation notices as appropriate and in accordance with the Commission’s rules. The Parties also intend to enter into post-closing spectrum manager leasing arrangements for some of the Exchange License spectrum to allow each assignor of such spectrum additional time to clear its operations from the assigned spectrum. Public Interest Statement The Commission has determined that transfer and assignment applications that demonstrate on their face that a transaction will yield affirmative public interest benefits and will neither violate Section 310(d) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”) or Commission rules nor frustrate or undermine policies and enforcement of the Act, do not require extensive review and expenditures of considerable resources by the Commission.4 The instant applications meet this standard. The assignments will yield public interest benefits by allowing the Parties to make more efficient use of the spectrum and to offer improved services to their respective

FCC FORM 603 EXHIBIT 1 Page 5 of 17 customers. The proposed transaction promotes the Commission’s secondary market policies, which seek to ensure the efficient use of spectrum.5 All of the spectrum being assigned in this transaction will occur as exchanges of spectrum within the same market. T-Mobile License and the VZW Licensees will assign PCS and AWS spectrum to each other within the same market areas, which will allow these Parties to enjoy the efficiency benefits associated with larger blocks of contiguous spectrum and/or alignment of spectrum held in adjacent markets. Aligning the spectrum blocks held in adjacent market areas allows the carriers to operate more efficiently by facilitating handoffs when users transition to the adjacent markets. Spectrum alignment also reduces coordination burdens associated with operations at the edge of market boundaries, because the licensee can then operate on the same frequency block in adjacent markets. Thus, Commission approval of these applications will enhance competition and improve the quality of services in the wireless marketplace. The assignments proposed herein will not result in any violation of the Act or any other applicable statutory provision. Moreover, the assignments fully comply with all Commission rules and regulations and require no waivers. Therefore, they do not frustrate or impair the Commission’s implementation or enforcement of, or the objectives of, the Act or other statutes. Finally, the subject authorizations were initially licensed by the Commission more than three years ago, and none currently is subject to any installment financing. The Exchange Licenses are not subject to any bidding credits or restrictions on ownership based on designated entity status; therefore, Commission approval of the assignments would not result in any unjust enrichment concerns.6 Spectrum Aggregation/Competition Analysis As discussed below, these assignments -- which will not reduce the number of competitors, service offerings or customer choices in any market -- do not raise any spectrum aggregation or competitive concerns. Spectrum Aggregation. In the case of these intra-market exchanges, all of the Parties’ licensed spectrum holdings in the relevant markets will be the same both pre- and post-consummation and will remain below the spectrum screen levels that the

See 47 C.F.R. § 1.2111.
FCC FORM 603 EXHIBIT 1 Page 6 of 17 Commission has found may warrant further review (see Exhibit 2).7 After (and before) close, T-Mobile License will hold (and had held) between 15 and 102 MHz of spectrum in the counties where spectrum is being assigned to T-Mobile License, and the VZW Licensees will hold (and had held) between 72 and 167 MHz of spectrum in the counties where spectrum is being assigned to the VZW Licensees. The various pre-closing spectrum manager leases of spectrum discussed above will be terminated at closing, and the post-closing leases will remain in effect only so long as may be necessary to allow the lessee to complete the clearing of its operations from spectrum that it is assigning. Competitive Analysis. These assignments do not raise any competitive or other public interest concerns. As discussed above, in the case of all of these intra-market exchanges, the Parties will hold the same amount of licensed spectrum post-closing as they did pre-closing and will remain below levels warranting further review. Further, the Parties will enjoy the efficiency benefits arising from larger blocks of contiguous spectrum, which will increase competition and public interest benefits. Further, T-Mobile License and the VZW Licensees will continue to provide service to their respective customers in the markets where they are assigning spectrum. Thus, there will be no reduction in the number of actual competitors providing service. Moreover, there are numerous other carriers holding CMRS spectrum in the markets in which the Parties are exchanging spectrum, which will ensure that a high degree of competition continues to exist (see Exhibit 3). Foreign Ownership of T-Mobile License As noted above, T-Mobile License is a wholly-owned subsidiary of T-Mobile USA. T-Mobile USA in turn is a wholly owned direct subsidiary of T-Mobile US, a U.S.-organized entity. DT, a publicly-traded German corporation,8 holds a 65.58 percent interest in T-Mobile US and, indirectly, in T-Mobile USA through the intermediate companies described above. On December 30, 2013, the Commission granted, subject to certain conditions, T-Mobile US’s Petition for Declaratory Ruling under Section 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act on behalf of its subsidiaries and affiliates holding common carrier radio licenses that it would not serve the public interest to prohibit more than 25 percent foreign ownership in T-Mobile US.9 That ruling also specifically permitted: (i) the 7

That declaratory ruling includes all authority available under the rules, including the standard terms and conditions set forth in Section 1.994 of the rules, and thus extends to T-Mobile License (among other licensee subsidiaries of T-Mobile USA) and the type of wireless service licenses that are the subject of the instant transaction. The foreign ownership in the licensees as approved has not materially changed since December 30, 2013 and will not be affected by the instant transaction. Compliance with DOJ/FBI/DOD Agreement by T-Mobile License T-Mobile License also requests that the Commission condition its grant of the assignments of the Cellco Exchange Licenses, the Fresno Exchange License, the GTE Mobilnet California Exchange License, the GTE Mobilnet Indiana Exchange License, the GTE Wireless Exchange License and the VZWPC Exchange License to T-Mobile License (but not the grant of the assignment of T-Mobile License’s Exchange Licenses to the applicable VZW Licensee) on compliance with the provisions of the Agreement entered into on January 12, 2001, as amended, between DT, VoiceStream Wireless Corporation and VoiceStream Wireless Holding Corporation, on the one hand, and the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation on the other (the “Agreement”).11 The Agreement prescribed that the following specific language be included in the conditional grant of interests in FCC licenses in the specific context of the Agreement:

The Agreement was amended in 2008 to add the Department of Homeland Security as a party and also amended in 2013 in connection with license transfers associated with the T-Mobile/MetroPCS transaction. See Applications of T-Mobile USA, Inc. and SunCom Wireless Holding, Inc., Memorandum Opinion and Order, 23 FCC Rcd 2515, Appendix B (2008); T-Mobile/MetroPCS Order, 28 FCC Rcd at Appendix B, Amendment No. 2.
FCC FORM 603 EXHIBIT 1 Page 8 of 17 It is further ordered, that the authorizations and the licenses related thereto are subject to compliance with the provisions of the Agreement attached hereto between Deutsche Telekom AG, VoiceStream Wireless Corporation, VoiceStream Wireless Holding Corporation on the one hand, and the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (the “FBI”) on the other, dated January 12, 2001, which Agreement is designed to address national security, law enforcement, and public safety issues of the FBI and the DOJ regarding the authority granted herein. Nothing in the Agreement is intended to limit any obligation imposed by Federal law or regulation including, but not limited to, 47 U.S.C. § 222(a) and (c)(1) and the FCC’s implementing regulations.12 T-Mobile License hereby requests that the Commission impose a similar condition on the grant of these assignments to it. The VZW Licensees are not a party to the Agreement, and thus T-Mobile License’s Exchange Licenses to be assigned to the VZW Licensees should not be conditioned with the above-referenced language. Conclusion The Parties respectfully submit that T-Mobile License and each of the VZW Licensees are qualified to obtain the applicable spectrum licenses referenced above and that Commission approval of the requested assignments will serve the public interest, convenience and necessity. Accordingly, the Parties respectfully request that the Commission grant the instant applications.
