T-Mobile Completes $4.3B Acquisition of UScellular in Strategic Spectrum Play
T-Mobile has solidified its position as a dominant wireless carrier with the closure of its $4.3 billion acquisition of UScellular. The deal transfers customers, retail stores, and critical spectrum assets to T-Mobile while reshaping UScellular into an infrastructure leasing operation.
The transaction reflects T-Mobile's calculated growth strategy through targeted acquisitions. Regulatory approval followed concessions on DEI programs, mirroring recent antitrust trends. UScellular will now lease towers and spectrum to T-Mobile and other providers, exiting the consumer wireless market.
