Chicago-based mobile operator US Cellular has announced that it is poised to launch its long-rumoured Long Term Evolution (LTE) network next month, in association with wholly-owned subsidiary King Street Wireless. The US Cellular unit won 152 regional concessions for 700MHz frequencies in the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) spectrum auction in early-2008, paying a total of USD401 million for the licences. US Cellular’s March launch will see the LTE network go live in Iowa, Wisconsin, Maine, North Carolina, Texas and Oklahoma, including a number of the cellco’s leading markets, such as Milwaukee, Madison and Racine (all Wisconsin); Des Moines, Cedar Rapids and Davenport (all Iowa); Portland and Bangor (Maine); and Greenville (North Carolina).
