  "textContent": "WASHINGTON, May 14, 2026 – Federal regulators approved Thursday Verizon’s $1 billion spectrum purchase from Array Digital Infrastructure.\n\nArray, formerly UScellular, was the fifth largest wireless carrier in the U.S. before selling its operations to T-Mobile and chunks of spectrum to each of the three major carriers. Verizon is purchasing Array’s AWS-3, AWS-1, and PCS licenses covering about 8 percent of the U.S. population.\n\nThe Federal Communications Commission already approved the Array’s spectrum sale to AT&T, also for $1 billion, and its $4.4 billion sale to T-Mobile, which include both its more than 4 million customers and about a third of its spectrum, last year. Another $103 million spectrum sale to T-Mobile is still pending at the agency.\n\n### This post is for subscribers only\n\nBecome a member to get access to all content\n\nSubscribe now",
