Western Wireless (NASDAQ: WWCA) has emerged as one of the leading
wireless communications providers in
the United States. The company's mission is to provide quality
wireless service that is both affordable and reliable.

Western Wireless won Personal Communication Services (PCS) licenses
for 100 new markets through the Federal Communication Commission's D
and E auctions, and an additional seven markets in the F-block
auction through its partnership with Cook Inlet PCS. The company's
strategy is to offer the optimum technology for a particular
geographical area. Today, Western Wireless, based in Bellevue, Wash.,
owns combined cellular and PCS licenses covering approximately 59
percent of the continental United States.

Western Wireless is committed to becoming the premier wireless
communication service provider with a focus on:

Quality: Providing high-quality technical, sales, administrative
and service expertise.

Growth: Dedication to expanding the business through superior
systems, aggressive selling, prudent acquisitions and
excellent customer care.

Profitability: Commitment to delivering an outstanding return on
investment to shareholders by providing superior
products to its customers, earning customer
loyalty and operating with an entrepreneurial
spirit.

One company, two sides of the business

Cellular: Western Wireless provides cellular service marketed under
the Cellular One® national brand in 17 western states. Since being
introduced in the early 1980s, cellular has been the most
popular choice for wireless communications – today, approximately
20% of all Americans own a cellular telephone. Cellular is
particularly well-suited for rural areas which are not subject
to congestion and interference.

PCS: Western Wireless currently offers PCS services marketed under
the VoiceStream® Wireless brand in 11 states. All-digital PCS is
ideal for urban areas and offers the same wireless convenience
of cellular, but has an expanded range of services, including
paging, email, fax, and voicemail, all in a device small enough
to fit in a jacket pocket.
