  *System Access Fee – British Columbia*
  In December 2011, a class action was launched in British Columbia

  system access fee wireless carriers charge to some of their customers. 
  The class action relates to allegations of misrepresentations contrary to 
  the*Business Practices and Consumer Protection Act*(British Columbia), 
  among other things. The plaintiffs are seeking unspecified damages and 
  restitution. A certification hearing is scheduled for April 2014. We have

  In 2004, a class action commenced against providers of wireless 
  communications in Canada under the*Class Actions Act*(Saskatchewan).

  *911 Fee*
  In June 2008, a class action was launched in Saskatchewan against 
  providers of wireless communications services in Canada. It involves 
  allegations of breach of 
  contract, misrepresentation and false 
  advertising, among other things, in relation to the 911 fee that had 
  been charged by us and the other wireless communication providers in 
  Canada. The plaintiffs are seeking unspecified damages and restitution. 
  The plaintiffs intend to seek an order certifying the proceeding as a 
  national class action in Saskatchewan. We have not recorded a liability 
  for this contingency. 
  
  In 2007, the Saskatchewan Court granted the plaintiffs’ application to 
  have the proceeding certified as a national, “opt-in” class action where 
  affected customers outside Saskatchewan must take specific steps to 
  participate in the proceeding. 
  In 2008, our motion to stay the 
  proceeding based on the arbitration clause in our wireless service 
  agreements was granted. The Saskatchewan Court directed that its 
  in respect of the certification of the action, would exclude 
  order, 
  customers who are bound by an arbitration clause from the class of 
  plaintiffs.
