This question can have a number of answers depending on your definition of "largest".
The largest cellular network by number of subscribers in the US is Verizon Wireless with 125.28 million subscribers. Internationally, the largest company is China Mobile with whopping 760+ million.
Alternatively, T-Mobile has more cell sites per customer than any other U.S. wireless company.
Most people think the cell phone companies owns the towers. In reality, American Tower owns 54,000 cellular transmission sites. These sites are licensed to one or multiple cell phone companies.
Internationally, American Tower Corporation owns the most transmission sites, with a total portfolio of over 70,000 assets. Strictly within the U.S., Crown Castle owns the most with 39,739 (by comparison to American Tower's 28,463).
Outside of the U.S., towers are not largely owned by leasing companies, but rather, private owners, or the wireless provider installed on the tower. In the U.K., Wireless Infrastructure Group (or WIG) leads in tower leasing with over 2,000 tower, rooftop, and DAS sites.
