How has the integration of Clearnet and TELUS Mobility progressed to date?
> Following TELUS’ acquisition of Clearnet, which closed on October, 20, 2000, rapid progress has been made in integrating Clearnet with TELUS Mobility’s Western Canadian operations and QuébecTel Mobilité to form the new TELUS Mobility. This has been led by George Cope, President and Chief Executive Officer of the new TELUS Mobility, who, along with the rest of the Clearnet executive management team, was successfully engaged to bring together and lead the new company. TELUS Mobility has begun to operate under the solid TELUS brand name, but is being rebranded to include elements of the former Clearnet brand and image, including the renowned nature-based themes and characters, as well as some product names. Our national PCS service is now TELUS PCS, with prepaid PCS marketed as Pay & Talk. Our ESMR product will continue to be known as Mike. The new TELUS Mobility branding thus brings together the best of the TELUS and Clearnet brands. The cross-selling of products began in November 2000
