Bell Canada Becomes Premier national Partner for 2010 Olympi

[Barry]

The Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games (VANOC) has selected Bell Canada as its Premier National Partner for the 2010 Games. With this decision, Bell renews its longstanding relationship with Canada's Olympic Teams.

The "Premier National Partner" designation recognizes the unique status of this partnership between Bell Canada and VANOC. The partnership continues
through 2012, securing for Bell the Canadian Olympic Team sponsorship rights
to Torino 2006, Beijing 2008, Vancouver 2010 and the 2012 Games. Bell will
make a cash contribution of C$90 million towards the acquisition of these
rights.

In the first major partnership awarded by VANOC, Bell has been chosen to
provide critical communications services required to stage the 2010 Games in
Vancouver and Whistler, including a comprehensive telecommunications solution, broadcast support and Internet and portal services. This represents a value of C$60 million.

Bell was chosen not only for the breadth of its communications solution but in particular for its commitment to work with VANOC to engage all Canadians in support of Canada's Games and Canada's athletes.
