Bill:
According to our most recent Build-Out Compliance Report dated 3-31-00, Horizon
is materially in compliance with respect to its build-out commitment in Exhibit
2.1. There are, however, six BTA's where Horizon's covered pop numbers fall
short of the exact build-out requirement.
BTA Current Covered Pops Shortfall
Roanoke -6,556
Fairmont -5,574
Martinsville -3,169
Lynchburg -2,707
Staunton-Waynesboro -536
Danville -31
At this time Sprint PCS does not consider these shortfalls to be a material
breach, however, we do expect that Horizon will take steps to meet 100% of its
build-out commitment in these BTAs by December 31, 2000. In reviewing your
future build-out plans and the resulting covered pops for these BTA's, it
appears that you will be in full compliance with Exhibit 2.1 in these BTA's well
before that date.
Also, in reviewing your overall build-out plans, it appears that those plans are
consistent with Exhibit 2.1. Assuming Horizon is able to fulfill all aspects of
those build-out plans, Horizon's build-out will be fully compliant with Exhibit
2.1 in all markets.
Sincerely,
