Friday, May 17, 11:33 AM U.S. Cellular (USM +5.5%) spikes higher after announcing a $5.75/share special dividend that will be paid on June 25 to shareholders on record as of June 11. The announcement comes as USM states it has closed its $480M deal to transfer spectrum and 420K customers to Sprint. Comment! [Tech, On the Move, Breaking News]
Friday, May 3, 1:11 PM Apple (AAPL +1.3%) roundup: 1) Moody's estimates Apple's debt offering will save the company $9.2B in tax payments that would have to be made if offshore cash was used to finance planned buybacks. 2) TSMC (TSM -0.3%) will reportedly manufacture the app processor for an iPhone due in 2H14 (the iPhone 6?), but Samsung will manufacture the iPhone 5S' processor (previous). 3) Apple has filed patent applications for curved battery designs - could they be used in more flexible iOS hardware? 4) Regional carrier U.S. Cellular (USM -2.9%) plans to finally sell the iPhone. 8 Comments [Tech]
Friday, May 3, 8:18 AM US Cellular (USM): Q1 EPS of $0.06 beats by $0.05. Revenue of $1.08B misses by $0.02B. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News, Tech]
Tuesday, February 26, 8:10 AM US Cellular (USM): Q4 EPS of -$0.47. Revenue of $1.12B (-2% Y/Y) misses by $0.01B. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News, Tech]
Tuesday, December 4, 2012, 6:19 PM A U.S. appeals court has upheld a 2011 FCC ruling that requires major carriers such as Verizon Wireless (VZ) and AT&T (T) to strike mobile data roaming deals with smaller rivals on "commercially reasonable terms." In theory at least, this should make it easier for smaller carriers such as U.S. Cellular (USM), Leap Wireless (LEAP), and NTELOS (NTLS) to offer nationwide data services. However, the fact 4G phones rely on a smorgasbord of frequency bands could cause some problems. 1 Comment [Tech]
Wednesday, November 7, 2012, 8:08 AM Sprint Nextel (S -1.2%) agrees to to pay $480M to U.S. Cellular (USM) for PCS spectrum and 585,000 subscribers in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri and Ohio. The deal, which includes the assumption of liabilities, will "significantly increase Sprint's network capacity and improve the customer experience." (PR) 3 Comments [Tech, Consumer, M&A]

Friday, August 31, 2012, 1:47 PM Ahead of an auction for spectrum owned by TV broadcasters, the FCC is planning to review its rules for determining if a carrier owns too much spectrum. The FCC helped derail the AT&T/T-Mobile merger partly because of spectrum concerns, and also required major concessions from Verizon to approve its spectrum purchases from cable providers. AT&T is (officially, at least) praising the news, but so are smaller carriers such as Sprint (S), who argue current rules don't differentiate between bands. 5 Comments [Tech]
Friday, August 24, 2012, 1:09 PM Verizon Wireless (VZ, VOD) received top marks in J.D. Power's annual study of U.S. mobile network quality. Big Red was said to have the best network in 5 of the 6 regions covered in the study, which measures issues such as dropped call rates and Web connection errors. U.S. Cellular (USM) was named the best carrier in the "North Central" region, while AT&T (T) was declared the worst carrier in 4 of 6 regions. Verizon is hoping its network will allow it to maintain premium pricing. 1 Comment [Tech]
Monday, August 20, 2012, 12:43 PM Verizon Wireless (VZ, VOD) claims 64 companies are interested in acquiring 700 MHz. spectrum it plans to sell once the FCC gives its expected approval to the company's cable spectrum purchases. That's up from 36 in May. AT&T (T - previous) and U.S. Cellular (USM) are among those who have already expressed interest, though T-Mobile and others have questioned the value of the spectrum, which could interfere with a TV channel. 1 Comment [Tech, M&A]
Friday, August 3, 2012, 8:11 AM United States Cellular (USM): Q2 EPS of $0.62 misses by $0.04. Revenue of $1.03B (+2.6% Y/Y) misses by $60M. (PR) Comment! [Earnings]
Monday, June 4, 2012, 9:18 AM Samsung (SSNLF.PK) will begin selling its flagship Galaxy S III to all four nationwide U.S. carriers this month, along with U.S. Cellular (USM), at prices that start at $199. The S III has received largely positive reviews, and its Euro launch has been met with strong early demand. Qualcomm (QCOM), Broadcom (BRCM), Skyworks (SWKS), and Maxim (MXIM) are among the chipmakers that will benefit from the U.S. launch. 1 Comment [Tech]
Wednesday, May 16, 2012, 12:38 PM AT&T (T) and U.S. Cellular (USM) are paying $304M to buy spectrum from cable operator Cox. AT&T's spectrum purchases cover 8 states, while U.S. Cellular's cover 5. The collapse of the T-Mobile deal, along with the spectrum transfer that was part of AT&T's breakup fee, has sent Ma Bell on the hunt for new airwave purchases. It was recently reported AT&T has held talks to buy Leap Wireless (LEAP), and speculation also exists about a bid for Dish Network (DISH). 6 Comments [Tech, M&A]
Friday, May 4, 2012, 8:39 AM United States Cellular (USM): Q1 EPS of $0.73 beats by $0.29. Revenue of $1.09B (+3.3% Y/Y) in-line. (PR) Comment! [Earnings]
Wednesday, April 4, 2012, 1:47 PM A number of regional U.S. carriers will begin selling the iPhone on April 20 at prices $50 below the typical retail MSRP. The list includes Alaska Communications (ALSK), Virginia's nTelos Wireless, and Wisconsin's Cellcom. U.S. Cellular (USM) appears to remain a holdout; the carrier has suggested it will offer the iPhone (AAPL) after an LTE model is released. Comment! [Tech]
Wednesday, March 21, 2012, 1:19 PM Dish Network (DISH +2.4%) rises after the FCC unveils a rulemaking proposal that should pave the way for 4G services to be allowed on the company's 2GHz. spectrum, in spite of a recent waiver denial. The FCC is also proposing interoperability rules be established for spectrum blocks in the 700 MHz. band - a positive for smaller carriers such as LEAP, PCS, and USM, who have complained a lack of rules could prevent them from obtaining compatible devices.
