U.S. Cellular is selling its Chicago customers to Sprint and shedding hundreds of local jobs.
Sprint is buying U.S. Cellular markets in the Midwest for $480 million to boost its network capacity in that region.
CEO Mary Dillon said Wednesday morning that U.S. Cellular customers won’t see any immediate changes and that it will likely take months for the FCC to approve the deal.

“Seems there has been about a dozen announced layoffs so far today.”
The media masters of the lie started describing the coming tax hikes THE DAY AFTER the election; these people can go to Hell. The Khmer Rouge knew how to handle “journalists”; any that went into the jungle looking for them to get a scoop were never heard from again.
