cellular network. So no matter what Verizon does to help the community, we’ll never be able to <br />share towers with them due to the fact that their CDMA, as opposed AT&T and T-Mobile are <br />more commonly sharing towers. And usually it’s, like Sprint and Verizon because they have, <br />you know, separate technologies that are basically incompatible. But the way that it works is <br />actually, the way that the roaming agreements are made -- because AT&T does charge T-Mobile <br />substantial amount of money to roam off of their towers, their exclusive towers -- the cell phone <br />signal will not switch until there is absolutely no T-Mobile signal. So in the event of an <br />emergency you may find yourself waiting for a tower to switch. So while sharing towers is a <br />great idea -- I’m not exactly sure how the agreements are, I’m definitely not on the T-Mobile <br />legal team or anything like that, I’m just a sales representative -- it can at times be difficult for a <br />customer having to deal with, you know, wanting to roam off of a tower. So I received <br />complaints from quite a few customers about, you know, the reception over there. And it’s <br />definitely a trouble spot for T-Mobile. <br />IWASHITA: I guess we’ll wait for the representative. <br />WATANABE: Yeah, that might be a better time. <br />IWASHITA: Thank you. <br />WATANABE: Okay, Mr. Domingo? <br />DOMINGO: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. You know, somewhat of a technical question. <br />You said their signal is incompatible with each other therefore it’s not advisable to co-locate on <br />one single antenna? <br />SAMBUENO: Well, I’m definitely not a technician but as far as I know generally it’s <br />going to be AT&T and T-Mobile sharing a tower; and I have no idea how Sprint or Verizon <br />works being as I don’t use their services. But I think the main point is, is generally when a cell <br />phone will switch to a roaming partner it’s going to be after a signal drops from one bar to <br />nothing. And so I’m pretty sure that all of the Board Members have cell phones and have a good <br />idea that with one bar you will not be able to make a phone call to a loved one should you need <br />rescuing, should your car break down, or if something bad would happen, for example. <br />DOMINGO: So what you’re saying is then when you co-locate on an antenna, it <br />diminishes the other supplier’s ability to transmit the signals? <br />SAMBUENO: Not at all, sir. <br />DOMINGO: It doesn’t? <br />WATANABE: Mr. Domingo, we, maybe we’re kind of putting him on the spot. We’re <br />going to have the T-Mobile representatives come up. They might be better equipped to respond <br />to that question. So I, I understand your concern there, but when the other representatives come <br />up we might get a more definitive response. <br /> EXHIBIT A 6 <br /> <br />
