U.S. Cellular recently requested that the Federal Communications Commission give it permission to purchase seven 700MHz Lower A block licenses from Actel. The licenses in question cover 35 markets across portions of Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Oregon, Washington and Wisconsin. U.S. Cellular uses both A and B Block 700MHz spectrum for its LTE network, and says the license acquisitions "will allow (U.S. Cellular) to offer innovative services and improve its voice and data offerings to the public." Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Actel is a subsidiary of CenturyLink.
