Sounds like their continued struggles being late to build out LTE and 5G is getting to them really quickly. Maybe should have looked at dropping CDMA sooner than ‘eventually.’
I hope none of the Big 3 try to buy them. Maybe Dish Wireless, but they still have growing pains and lack of immediate funding.

I highly doubt either of them are going to be able to buy them up with the way the FCC is turning out to be this administration. Dish could be favorable had they not have a debt problem right nowOriginally Posted by DRC72

True and Dish would be a perfect fit.

Honestly, not sure AT&T needs them. In Southern Oregon AT&T and USCC seem to Co-Locate already and in most areas USCC has service, AT&T also has service too so again they would not gain much. I mean in General AT&T needs more towers/Small cells in Southern Oregon to fill in the Coverage Gaps they have now.
T-Mobile on the other hand would benefit as they do use USCC as a roaming partner in Southern Oregon and it would actually add Native coverage where they don't have it now. Right now in the areas T-Mobile does roam on USCC in Southern Oregon it is currently capped at 240kbps down/up.
Dish would be cool but I don't know if they have actually rolled out any coverage in Oregon yet.
Then again, compared to the other carriers USCC plans kinda suck as is and there is a rule about 50% of USCC data usage being "Home Network usage" vs Roaming usage.

US Cellular has no system here in the northwest quarter of Oklahoma, they rely on roaming to provide service, but they own a large amount of valuable spectrum here that they have never used, so a sale to a carrier who would actually USE that spectrum would be a good thing no matter how it plays out.

as much as I dislike Charlie, I think if the gov't was serious about having a legit 4th carrier, that dish is the only company that would make sense. They need the customers and spectrum

So far, yep. In fact, Dish at one point recently posted a list of markets that have full service (voice and data) for customers on a native network. You can look on Amazon's Boost Infinite store page for that list.
They still have some work to do before the next deadline, but they seem to be making an effort to be a fourth national carrier.
