What is your company’s primary line of business? Verizon’s Response: The companies that merged to form Verizon Wireless in 2000 had been in business for an average of 15 years prior to the merger. Verizon Wireless was formed by the combination of the domestic wireless businesses of Verizon Communications Inc. (formerly Bell Atlantic Corporation and GTE Corporation) and Vodafone Group Plc.

The addition of GTE wireless assets made Verizon Wireless, at that time, the nation's largest wireless communications provider. Verizon Communications then became the majority owner (55 percent) of Verizon Wireless, with management control of the joint venture.     City of La Quinta Unified Communications & VoIP Phone System 20 Confidential to Verizon and the City of La Quinta  January 9, 2009: Verizon Wireless acquired Alltel. With the inclusion of Alltel’s assets Verizon Wireless became the nation’s largest wireless communications provider and provider of the largest 3G network.  September 2, 2013: Verizon Communications entered into an agreement with Vodafone to acquire Vodafone’s share of Verizon Wireless.  February 21, 2014: Verizon Wireless became an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Verizon Communications.

We believe the buying, selling and exchanging of spectrum licenses have allowed us to continue to enhance the reliability of our network, while also resulting in a more efficient use of spectrum. Recent spectrum transactions by Verizon Wireless include:  During the first and second quarters of 2018 we entered into and completed various wireless license transactions for an insignificant amount of cash consideration.  During the third quarter of 2017, we entered into a license exchange agreement with affiliates of T-Mobile USA, Inc. to exchange certain AWS and PCS spectrum licenses. This non-cash exchange was completed in the fourth quarter of 2017.  During the first quarter of 2017, we entered into a license exchange agreement with affiliates of Sprint Corporation, which provides for the exchange of certain Personal Communication Services (PCS) spectrum licenses. This non-cash exchange was completed in May 2017.  During the fourth quarter of 2016, we entered into a license exchange agreement with affiliates of AT&T Inc. to exchan ge certain Advanced Wireless Services (AWS) and PCS spectrum licenses. This non-cash exchange was completed in February 2017.  During the first quarter of 2016, we entered into a license exchange agreement with affiliates of Sprint Corporation, which provides for the exchange of certain AWS and PCS spectrum licenses. This non-cash exchange was completed in September 2016.  During the fourth quarter of 2015, we entered into a license exchange agreement with affiliates of AT&T Inc. (AT&T) to exchange certain Advanced Wireless Services (AWS) and Personal Communication Services (PCS) spectrum licenses. This non-cash exchange was completed in March 2016.  During the fourth quarter of 2015, we completed a license exchange transaction with an affiliate of T- Mobile USA Inc. (T- Mobile USA) to exchange certain AWS and Personal Communication Services (PCS) licenses.  In January 2015, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) completed an auction of 65 MHz of spectrum in the Advanced Wireless Services (AWS)-3 band. We participated in that auction and were the high bidder on 181 spectrum licenses, for which we paid cash of approximately $10.4 billion. The FCC granted us these spectrum licenses in April 2015. Other strategic transactions:     City of La Quinta Unified Communications & VoIP Phone System 27 Confidential to Verizon and the City of La Quinta  In February 2018 we closed on our acquisition of Straight Path Communications Inc., a holder of millimeter wave spectrum configured for 5G wireless services.  In January 2018, we closed on our acquisition of NextLink Wireless, which holds millimeter-wave spectrum licenses. The spectrum acquired as part of this transaction will be used for our 5G technology deployment in the 28 and 39 GHz bands.  In December 2017, Verizon completed our $225 million purchase of fiber-optic network assets serving the Chicago market from WideOpenWest, Inc. The transaction is part of our effort to scale and accelerate deployment of next- generation broadband services. For Verizon, the transaction secures fiber to more than 500 macro-cell wireless sites and more than 500 small-cell wireless sites in the Chicago area. The high-capacity fiber network is designed to support multi-use services and already connects Verizon Wireless macro towers and small cells, reducing future leasing costs.  In November 2017, we entered into a joint agreement with Tillman Infrastructure and another wireless carrier to build hundreds of cell towers, with the potential for significantly more new site locations in the future. These new structures will add to the overall communications infrastructure in the U.S., and will fulfill the need for new locations where towers do not exist today.  During March 2015, we completed a transaction with American Tower Corporation (American Tower) pursuant to which American Tower acquired the exclusive rights to lease and operate approximately 11,300 of our wireless towers. Under the terms of the leases, American Tower has exclusive rights to lease and operate the towers over an average term of approximately 28 years. As part of this transaction, we sold 162 towers for $0.1 billion. We have subleased capacity on the towers from American Tower for a minimum of 10 years at current market rates, with options to renew. Verizon Wireless is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Verizon Communications, which has completed strategic transactions in Internet of Things, telematics, and digital media. h.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution     City of La Quinta Unified Communications & VoIP Phone System 34 Confidential to Verizon and the City of La Quinta We are on the cusp of a technological revolution that will fundamentally change how we live, work and play. The Fourth Industrial Revolution is blurring the lines between physical and digital. Everything that can be connected will be. Some call it the “Cyber Physical” era, building on such technologies as artificial intelligence, autonomous cars, robotics and biotechnology to prime a fresh wave of innovation - all of it enabled by the low latency, faster speeds and continuous connectivity of next-generation wireless technology. The widely varying technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution are starting to take shape while some others are still being created. What they have in common is this: all of them have the power to reshape entire industries. This next industrial revolution will take place on Verizon’s network, and it will positively impact business like no technology we have seen before. 5G We don’t wait for the future, we build it. Throughout our history, we’ve always been at the forefront of technological innovation. We’ve led the transformation of the wireless industry from analog to today’s fourth-generation LTE service. Now, we have an unprecedented opportunity before us as we drive the evolution of the U.S. wireless industry towards the fifth generation (5G) of mobile services. Not too long ago, people were saying 5G would not be possible until sometime between 2020 and 2022. Only one carrier has been consistent in its actions and messaging regarding 5G - Verizon has the spectrum bandwidth needed to provide the rich services of true 5G and engineering knowhow to lead the industry in providing the full suite of 5G services. Our investment in prepositioning of assets will enable us to deliver the full range of 5G services, including mobility, residential broadband [using radio signals rather than copper or fiber cables], sub-millisecond latency applications, and other advanced consumer and IoT (Internet of Things) use cases. On October 1, 2018, we turned on the world’s first commercial 5G network - our 5G Home service for consumers - in parts of Los Angeles, CA, Houston, TX, Sacramento, CA, and Indianapolis, IN, on our 5G Ultra Wideband network; on October 24, 2018, we added Panama City, FL, to our list of 5G cities. With 5G, we will continue to drive innovation across the technology landscape to bring new solutions to market for our customers. Benefits of Choosing Verizon In a marketplace where some of our competitors ask customers to compromise on network quality, we, at Verizon, are united in our belief that “better matters” and confident of the unique role we play in delivering all the benefits of the digital world to our customers. A device is only as good as the network it’s on and Verizon’s 4G LTE network is the most reliable and in more places than any other 4G LTE network. We believe that steady and consistent network and platform investments provide the foundation for innovative products and services. The depth and breadth of our network provides our fundamental strength and is the basis for our competitive advantage. Our thoughtful technology choices, well-rounded spectrum assets and excellence in execution position us for continued 4G distinction and 5G leadership.     City of La Quinta Unified Communications & VoIP Phone System 35 Confidential to Verizon and the City of La Quinta Verizon will never settle for second best and neither should our customers. We’ve built our reputation on delivering the best network, hands down. We deliver that experience because we plan for it, and invest in it, month after month, year after year. Only one wireless network is recognized time and time again as the leader in network performance by independent third parties using different approaches (drive testing, consumer experience studies). While we did not build our network to collect awards, these awards and the studies underlying them matter because they confirm that our customers enjoy the best mobile experience in the industry.

Also, depending on the service address, Customer may be assessed an additional 911 charge if required by law.  Any call made from a tablet to a U.S. number will be treated as a domestic call, no matter where the call originates. Any call made from a tablet to a non-U.S. number will be treated as an international long distance call that originates in the U.S., which is subject to U.S. taxes, fees and Verizon surcharges, no matter where the call actually originates. These calls will be billed in accordance with Customer’s international calling plan and/or international Contract rates. 3. Emergency 911 Calls. End users can make a 911 call over a Wi-Fi connection when using the Service, but whenever possible, end users should avoid doing so because 911 calls over a WiFi connection will not work if there is a failure of your broadband connection or electrical power, or if the 911 system doesn’t recognize the address. In addition, when using a One Talk desk phone, voice functionality (including the ability to make and receive 911 calls) will not be available during a power outage, broadband connection failure or other service disruption. Before any desk phone can be activated or the Service can be activated on any device, Customer must enter the U.S. address where Customer wants emergency services to be sent if end users call 911. It is not necessary to use the same address for all devices. It is very important that Customer updates its 911 address whenever Customer changes its location for any of these devices because this is the location that will be given to emergency services when end users dial 911. End users can go to their mobile device’s Settings and change their 911 address at any time. Customer can change the 911 address for a desk phone on the One Talk section of the My Business web portal. (Note: With a smartphone using the One Talk Mobile App, emergency services will use the 911 address only if you use Wi-Fi to make the 911 call. If end users are using the Verizon Wireless Network, their smartphone’s built-in capabilities will provide the location of the end user’s device.) 4. Privacy. We may use information about your use of the Service in accordance with the terms and conditions of your Contract. 5. Integrated Messaging Text Message Feature. To send and receive SMS messages, Mobile devices associated with either One Talk Basic Dialer (if available) or One Talk Mobile App must download the Message+ App to the device. The Integrated Messaging functionality of Message+     City of La Quinta Unified Communications & VoIP Phone System 45 Confidential to Verizon and the City of La Quinta enables you to synchronize messages across multiple devices, including smartphones, tablets and the web. Text messages sent and received while using the Service are separate from the native texting app (dual numbers) and are only temporarily retained on the One Talk message platform in the cloud. End users with access to the Service on a Smartphone or the Mobile Client can retrieve/download any text message sent or received using the Service. 6. HIPAA. Integrated Messaging is not designed for secure transmission or storage of personal healthcare information. Therefore, Customer agrees not to use Service to store or transmit Protected Health Information (PHI) as defined in the Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act of 1996 and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009 and accompanying regulations (collectively “HIPAA”). Covered Entities and Business Associates (as defined by HIPAA) will not use Integrated Messaging to store or transmit PHI. Customers that do not want its end users to save messages to the cloud (including all Covered Entities and Business Associates, as defined by HIPAA), must have an authorized representative block Integrated Messaging.
