TDS Upping Fiber Target After Spectrum Sale to AT&T
Array is still looking to sell its C-band holdings.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20, 2026 – TDS Telecom is upping its long-term fiber passing goal to 2.1 million, thanks to an influx of cash from a $1 billion spectrum sale to AT&T.
TDS owns Array Digital Infrastructure, formerly UScellular, which sold its wireless operations to T-Mobile last year and is in the process of selling off the rest of its spectrum. Array is continuing to operate its 4,450 towers.
TDS’s initial plan was to hit 1.8 million fiber passings by 2030. The extra 300,000 locations are edge-out builds adjacent to where TDS is already building and where the company thinks it can be the first fiber provider.
