1 The significant segment expense categories and amounts align with the segment-level information that is regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker. Intersegment expenses are included within the amounts shown. 2 This item is not included in the evaluation of operating performance of the Wireless and Towers segments, and therefore is reported for "UScellular". 3 Assets are not provided at the individual segment level for Wireless and Towers, and therefore is reported for "UScellular". The UScellular segments operate under a common capital structure, and management has historically considered its assets collectively as part of a combined wireless network.
