Broad Coverage
In addition to our ever expanding Cricket coverage areas and our new market launches, in November 2008 we introduced Premium Extended Coverage (PEC) which gives us one of the largest coverage areas of any low-cost unlimited carrier. This major milestone was made possible through strategic roaming partnerships with 14 different carriers. PEC is included in our highest-value Cricket Wireless service plans at no extra charge and is available with our other service plans for an additional $5 per month. The coverage gives our customers unlimited voice usage in a broad coverage area, which totaled more than 122 million POPs at year end.
