MTS TV comes to apartments in Winnipeg

Deal with Apex Realty Properties will install service in 1000 units

Winnipeg, MB, July 20, 2006– MTS Allstream Inc. has completed a partnership with Apex Reality Properties Inc. that will see MTS TV installed in 1000 apartment units in Winnipeg, and marketed to tenants in an additional 1500 units. These tenants will now have access to the choice, convenience and outstanding quality of MTS TV, with services like TV Call Display and Email on Demand, as well as an expanding library of movies and entertainment through MTS Video On Demand Service.

"We are very pleased to have taken MTS TV to almost every corner of Winnipeg, and thanks to our customers enthusiastic response to the service we have grown past 56,000 MTS TV subscribers," said Kelvin Shepherd, President Consumer Markets MTS Allstream Inc. "Our arrangement with Apex Realty allows us to offer MTS TV to residents in multiple-dwelling units in many locations across Winnipeg and represents a great opportunity for us to sign up more customers to our full portfolio of services."

Apex Realty manages over 3000 residential apartment units in the City of Winnipeg and is one of the premier property management companies in Manitoba. Through the agreement with MTS Allstream, MTS TV will be installed in 1000 units in 14 different properties in Winnipeg. Apex will also market MTS TV to tenants and potential tenants in another 1500 units.

"We want to develop residential properties that provide the best services to tenants, and MTS TV fits the bill," said Bruce Benson, Property Manager, Apex Realty. "MTS Allstream has developed a top quality digital television service, and we are excited to offer it to our tenants, so they can enjoy MTS TV and bundle it together with other outstanding MTS products."

MTS TV customers can get great bundle deals from MTS.
