(1)	Subscriber activity includes Microcell beginning November 9, 2004
(2)	Effective December 1, 2004, voluntarily deactivating subscribers are required to continue billing and service for 30 days from the date termination is requested, consistent with the subscriber agreement terms and conditions, resulting in approximately 15,900 additional net postpaid subscribers being included in the quarter.
(3)	Microcell subscriber base upon closing of acquisition on November 9, 2004.
(4)	Effective at the beginning of fourth quarter 2004, wholesale subscribers are reported separately under 'wholesale'. Accordingly, approximately 43,600 Rogers Wireless wholesale subscribers were reclassified from the postpaid subscriber base to the ‘wholesale’ category.
(5)	Effective November 9, 2004, the deactivation of prepaid subscribers acquired from Microcell are recognized after 180 days of no usage to conform to the Rogers Wireless prepaid churn definition.
(6)	In 2003, we determined that subscribers who only had non-revenue usage should not have been included in the prepaid subscriber base and, as such, made an adjustment to the second quarter of 2003 opening prepaid subscriber base.
(7)	Effective in the third quarter of 2004, the reporting of Internet subscribers was modified to include only those subscribers with service installed, operating and on billing and to exclude those subscribers who have subscribed to the service but installation of the service was still pending. Prior period results for Internet subscribers and net additions have been conformed to this current presentation.

Rogers Communications expects to release fourth quarter 2004 financial and operating results on or about February 9, 2005.
