US Cellular tells the FCC it's doomed without the T-Mobile acquisition
The carrier says customers will be able to switch to T-Mobile’s lower-cost plans or maintain their current services for up to a year.

That sucks. I used to have USCC service back when I lived in their market, and it was always top-notch (including customer support). The only reason I switched was because I moved into a Verizon market, and their 3G roaming agreement was only one-way (Verizon could roam on USCC at 3G, but USCC could only roam on Verizon at 2G).
I'm surprised they're not going for a Verizon buyout considering, at least in the 3G days, they used the same spectrum and technology which necessitated the non-overlapping coverage areas/markets, but I guess 4G and everyone standardizing on LTE after years of GSM/CDMA incompatibility, leveled the playing field somewhat.
