For its second quarter of 2013, United States Cellular Corporation reported service revenues of $911.0 million, compared to $1,029.7 million for the comparable period one year ago. That reflects asset sales, though.
The real problem is a subscriber decline in US Cellular core markets, where organic growth is negative. The customer losses have been a problem since 2011.
That’s just one data point, but shows why consolidation in the U.S. mobile market will continue. It is getting harder for smaller regional providers to compete with the larger national providers.
