2003 was a milestone year for U.S. Cellular and the wireless
industry. Twenty years earlier, in 1983, the first cellular
network and first commercial portable phone debuted, as
did U.S. Cellular. All of these events happened in the
company’s hometown of Chicago, which U.S. Cellular
began serving in 2002.
Chicago-based U.S. Cellular,
the eighth-largest wireless service provider in the United
States, operates and invests in wireless systems across
the country. At year-end 2003, the company employed 6,225
associates, who served 4.4 million customers in 147 markets
in 26 states.
U.S. Cellular operates on a customer satisfaction strategy,
meeting customer needs by providing a comprehensive range
of wireless products and services, superior customer support
and a high-quality network.
The company’s common shares are traded on the American
Stock Exchange under the symbol USM. U.S. Cellular is
a business unit of Telephone and Data Systems, Inc., which
owns 82.1 percent of the company and is traded on the
American Stock Exchange under the symbol TDS.
