 device pricing, including pricing for unlimited plans, which could result in switching activity and churn and limit UScellular's ability to monetize future growth in data usage. In addition, competition based on network speed may increase as customer demand for higher speeds increases. These competitive factors have and are expected to continue to result in losses of retail connections, may cause the prices for certain services and products to decline and the costs to compete to increase.

UScellular’s competitors include national or global telecommunications and cable wireless companies that are larger than UScellular, possess greater financial and other resources, possess more extensive coverage areas and more spectrum within their coverage areas, and market other services with their communications services that UScellular does not offer. UScellular and its competitors are actively marketing their deployment of 5G and, as a result, continue to raise consumer awareness of the technology. If UScellular continues to not keep pace with its competitors in deploying 5G or other comparable offerings, or if UScellular's deployment of 5G technology does not result in significant incremental revenues, UScellular's financial condition, results of operations and ability to do business could continue to be adversely affected. In addition, new technologies, services and products that are more commercially effective than the technologies, services and products offered by UScellular may be developed and create new sources of competition. Further, new technologies may be proprietary such that UScellular is not able to adopt such technologies. There can be no assurance that UScellular will be able to compete successfully in this environment. 

Sources of competition to UScellular’s business typically include at least four competing wireless telecommunications service providers across UScellular's service area, wireline telecommunications service providers, cable wireless companies, resellers (including MVNOs), and providers of alternative telecommunications services. In particular, competition from cable wireless companies has increased in recent periods and is expected to increase into the foreseeable future, as they have continued to expand their presence in the wireless industry and have offered more competitive pricing. Many of UScellular’s wireless and other competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, marketing, sales, purchasing and distribution resources than UScellular.

Competition in the tower industry is also challenging, as UScellular competes with public and private tower companies, private equity sponsored tower companies, and owners of non-communications sites such as utility towers, rooftop structures, water towers, and other alternative structures. Many of these competitors are larger than UScellular, have greater financial and other resources,
