Numbers may not foot due to rounding. 1"All Other" represents TDS' non-reportable other business activities that do not meet the quantitative thresholds for being a reportable segment. 2The 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. 3This item is not included in the evaluation of operating performance of the Wireless and Towers segments, and therefore is reported for "UScellular". 4Assets are not provided at the individual segment level for Wireless and Towers, and therefore are 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.
