        Telephone and  Data Systems, Inc. ("TDS"),  together with

        From January  1 through  September 30, 1994,  the Company

   nine  cellular markets and several minority cellular interests
   representing a total  of approximately 1.2 million  population
   equivalents.     The  total   consideration  paid  for   these
   acquisitions  was approximately $189.1  million, consisting of
   $30.1  million in cash, 3.4  million TDS Common Shares, 49,000
   USM Common Shares, the obligation to deliver 42,000 TDS Common
   Shares in the future and the cancellation of a note receivable
   of $1.4 million.

        As  of  September  30,  1994,  the  Company  had  pending
   agreements to  acquire  four telephone  companies, one  paging
   company and controlling interests in five cellular markets and
   one minority  interest representing a  total of  approximately
   878,000 population equivalents.  The total consideration to be
   paid for the acquisitions  described in this paragraph, valued
   at   the  time   such   agreements  were   entered  into,   is
   approximately  $131.4 million.     If  these acquisitions  are
   completed as planned, the Company will issue approximately 2.5
   million TDS  Common Shares,  125,000 TDS Preferred  Shares and
   will pay approximately $10.8 million in cash.

   the  foregoing paragraphs  are  not individually  significant.
