WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.150 --> 00:00:04.380 Hi, I'm Tom Cullen. I am Executive Vice President of corporate development. 2 00:00:04.381 --> 00:00:07.050 And I've been with DISH since 2006. 3 00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:22.070 Well, I've traveled quite a bit internationally, uh, over my lifetime, 4 00:00:22.071 --> 00:00:25.790 but there are several places where I'd like to go that I haven't been to like 5 00:00:25.850 --> 00:00:30.680 Vietnam and Malaysia, and many of the places I've been on business. 6 00:00:30.710 --> 00:00:34.790 I've only been able to stay there for one or two nights and then not had the 7 00:00:34.791 --> 00:00:38.720 chance to really explore the country. So I love travel and, uh, 8 00:00:38.750 --> 00:00:39.950 look forward to doing more of it. 9 00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:46.250 Sure. Um, my mother is, uh, 10 00:00:46.310 --> 00:00:50.600 was an Irish immigrant as were both of my dad's parents. 11 00:00:50.601 --> 00:00:52.940 So I'm a hundred percent Irish. Uh, 12 00:00:53.120 --> 00:00:57.230 I hold an Irish passport as do both my children. I met my wife, 13 00:00:57.800 --> 00:01:02.360 Stacy here in Denver, 37 years ago, and we've been married for 33 years. 14 00:01:02.870 --> 00:01:06.350 We have two children, my daughter, Kelsey, and her husband, 15 00:01:06.351 --> 00:01:11.300 Jake live here in Denver and they brought the joy of our lives into the 16 00:01:11.301 --> 00:01:14.600 world of just over a year ago, our little granddaughter Greer, 17 00:01:15.290 --> 00:01:17.870 and then my son Hayden also lives here in Denver. 18 00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:20.120 He recently relocated back here. 19 00:01:20.121 --> 00:01:21.800 So it's great to have the whole family here locally. 20 00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:31.730 There's probably four big events that I remember one of course, 21 00:01:31.731 --> 00:01:34.940 the first super bowl win by the Broncos over the Packers. 22 00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:37.550 Obviously the Avs have won two Stanley cups. 23 00:01:37.610 --> 00:01:42.350 The Rockies Rocktober run, um, was very exciting, 24 00:01:42.351 --> 00:01:46.370 but the highlight of them all was super bowl 50 when, uh, 25 00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:51.170 the Broncos won against the Panthers. And that was great because, uh, 26 00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:54.740 both my, myself, my wife and the two kids, uh, 27 00:01:54.950 --> 00:01:58.040 were all together at the game. So that was a real highlight. 28 00:02:02.690 --> 00:02:06.830 Disruption. Uh, we have the, we have a really unique opportunity here. 29 00:02:06.831 --> 00:02:09.860 Not only do we have a rich portfolio of spectrum, 30 00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:13.790 but we're entering the market and building out when there's a step function, 31 00:02:13.820 --> 00:02:16.700 change going on architecturally. Uh, 32 00:02:16.701 --> 00:02:21.440 so we'll be able to put much more in software than a traditional 33 00:02:21.441 --> 00:02:24.200 network where it was mostly hardware centric. 34 00:02:24.201 --> 00:02:28.790 So by putting this in the cloud and virtualizing the experience and automating 35 00:02:28.910 --> 00:02:31.040 the organization from end to end, 36 00:02:31.550 --> 00:02:34.520 it enables us to be more like a cloud provider, 37 00:02:34.521 --> 00:02:38.780 selling storage and capacity and processing in an automated 38 00:02:38.810 --> 00:02:43.190 fashion. Uh, whereas the traditional incumbents can't do that. 39 00:02:43.191 --> 00:02:46.490 So not only can we be disruptive at the consumer level, 40 00:02:46.820 --> 00:02:49.400 but also in the enterprise and vertical industry space. 41 00:02:55.341 --> 00:02:57.050 We've clearly been on an adventure here, 42 00:02:57.200 --> 00:03:01.420 we've put together a portfolio of spectrum that really can't be replicated. 43 00:03:01.510 --> 00:03:05.290 And that there was a lot of adventure associated with that because we didn't 44 00:03:05.350 --> 00:03:09.400 necessarily have a firm game plan of how we were going to bring it to market. 45 00:03:09.880 --> 00:03:10.181 Of course, 46 00:03:10.181 --> 00:03:13.990 that all changed last year when we became the remedy to the sprint T-Mobile 47 00:03:13.991 --> 00:03:14.824 merger, 48 00:03:14.830 --> 00:03:18.880 which has created the opportunity that we're looking at right now and working 49 00:03:18.881 --> 00:03:20.110 day and night to execute on. 50 00:03:25.710 --> 00:03:25.710 [inaudible].
