administer, market and deliver Sprint's digital music content, initially
including full-tracks, ringtones and ringback tones. The end result will be a
rich shopping experience for Sprint customers and increased efficiency for
Sprint.

"Sprint has always demonstrated a dedication to providing its customers
with convenience and choice in accessing the content they want on their
phones," said Vern Poyner, senior vice president, technology products and
solutions, RealNetworks. "Our Media Entertainment Platform will extend the
integrated, user-friendly experience that Sprint offers, providing
subscribers with a convenient choice in how they access music on the go."
