US Cellular

The FCC has approved T-Mobileโ€™s $4.4B acquisition of UScellular and a 50% stake in Metronet, marking a strategic push into rural 5G and fixed broadband. While the moves improve network reach and service speeds, regulators caution that market consolidation among the Big Three wireless providers may restrict long-term competition and innovation.
UScellular has agreed to sell $1 billion worth of spectrum licenses to Verizon and other mobile network operators. This strategic move is part of UScellularโ€™s effort to monetize its remaining spectrum assets, ensuring broader usage across the country. The deal includes 850 MHz, AWS, and PCS licenses, contingent on regulatory approval. UScellular still holds significant low-, mid-, and mmWave spectrum and continues to seek buyers for its retained assets.
