Anyone have any new info on which markets, if any, USCC is bidding on? Just curious. I know we are doing the bidding under Barat Wireless, but can't really find much info on our standings at all. Thanks!

Knoxville TN , Chicago-Gary-Kenosha IL-IN-WI, Madison WI-IL-IA, Madison WI-IL-IA (differnt blocks), Wichita, KS , Madison, WI , and Mississippi Valley . Hope that helps..

😢 More Stuff in the mid west. I am an Agent in the Northeast. We already own the licenses for Northern VT and most of Northeast NY but have they officially opened up that market? NOOOO! 🙄 Oh well.

I will be anxious to hear the end results and see if we gained anything major. Guess we will wait and see!
...
Well, they could always open up their licenses in that area but they have to make sure if the investment will seek a return.
...
Oh I know. Northern VT makes no sense compared to the licenses they bought last year that gave them access to about 14M people.
Northern VT would yield them access to about 300K. Not much but there is also little competition.
...
No sense of using the license if the ROIC isn't there. (I frankly, don't blame them)
...
Neither do I. Just happens to be an area where we could open 5-6 more stores. 😁
...
So vent perhaps they might listen.
Companies will need to grow who are rural so don’t be surprised that these guys will build out more stores and expand on their distribution.
...
Oh we have been venting about it for two years... Even as the largest agent in their New England market with a soon to be 8 locations they still haven't budged on opening that section of the state or their New York 1 license. DO you know who they have managing that NY license for them? Verizon. Nuff Said.
...
yea. I am sure if they find a nice location they will expand. Sometimes building too many stores aren’t that great because there are other methods of distributions. If gas prices stay low I guess people will drive out to the stores but many traffic has to come through the online sales and tele sales instead of stores.
