Yet, Laurent Therivel, the CEO of US Cellular said that the latest agreement “adds a fourth mobile network operator, in addition to T-Mobile, to the list of those whose subscribers will benefit from the sale of our spectrum licenses,".
This includes the T-Mobile possible transaction, with the U.S Cellular. In this agreement, the US Celluar has agreed to monetize 70% of the total spectrum holdings this excludes high-frequency mmWave spectrum.
