Verizon holds the most mmWave (1850 MHz), which only matters in the densest few blocks. SpaceX holds 75 MHz intended for satellite-to-phone service, not towers.

MHz, uplink and downlink combined, for the five national operators. An operator is credited with spectrum it is licensed for and spectrum it leases in; spectrum it leases out is not subtracted.
