Major players: AT&T Verizon T-Mobile/Sprint

Smaller players (most/all of whom piggyback on the major players' infrastructure): Metro PCS Boost Virgin Cricket

MetroPCS is a wholly owned subsidiary of T-Mobile.

Cricket is a wholly owned subsidiary of AT&T.

Boost and Virgin are MVNO's.

EDIT: I stand corrected, Boost/Virgin are owned by Sprint.

Boost and Virgin are owned by Sprint, as well.
