Overview

• The FCC approved the merger in mid-July after T-Mobile ended its diversity, equity and inclusion programs.
• T-Mobile paid $4.3 billion to acquire UScellular’s wireless customers, retail outlets and about 30 percent of its spectrum holdings.
• Integration of UScellular subscribers into T-Mobile’s network has begun, enabling them to select unlimited data plans as systems merge.
• UScellular’s portfolio of over 4,000 rural towers and spectrum licenses broadens T-Mobile’s coverage in less populated regions.
• This acquisition follows T-Mobile’s earlier consolidation moves, including the 2013 MetroPCS purchase and the 2020 Sprint merger.
