Item 3.01(a). Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On November 15, 2006, Telephone and Data Systems, Inc. (“TDS”) and its subsidiary, United States Cellular Corporation (“U.S. Cellular”), received letters from the staff of The New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) indicating that TDS and U.S. Cellular have been identified as late filers as a result of their failure to file quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2006 on a timely basis in compliance with Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  The letters also note that TDS and U.S. Cellular will be posted to the late filers list on the “Listing Standards” page on the NYSE website and “.LF” will be appended to TDS’s and U.S. Cellular’s trading symbols for their debt that is listed on the NYSE. Accordingly, TDA will trade as TDA.LF, TDI will trade as TDI.LF, UZG will trade as UZG.LF and UZV will trade as UZV.LF.  The website posting and indicator will remain in effect until TDS and U.S. Cellular are current with all reporting requirements with the SEC.

TDS and U.S. Cellular intend to file their Forms 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2006 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as soon as possible.   TDS and U.S. Cellular expect to be current with all reporting requirements of the SEC and the listing requirements of the NYSE when they files such Forms 10-Q.
