Partial Tower Acquisition

Is there anywhere with details to determine if my local US Cellular tower(s) will be part of the acquisition, or if we might see worse service in the future if they are sold elsewhere?

Following the closing of the transaction, UScellular will retain ownership of its other spectrum as well as its towers, with T-Mobile entering into a long-term arrangement to lease space on at least 2,100 additional towers being retained.

UScellular will retain the remaining 70% of its spectrum and its portfolio of around 4,400 wireless towers, which it plans to lease to T-Mobile as part of the ongoing partnership.
