11.Segment Reporting

Operating segments are components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker(s) of an enterprise. Operating income is the primary measure used by our chief operating decision maker to evaluate segment operating performance. We currently operate two primary business segments: (1) Pay-TV; and (2) Wireless. See Note 1 for further information.

All other and eliminations primarily include intersegment eliminations related to intercompany debt and the related interest income and interest expense, which are eliminated in consolidation.

(1) The six months ended June 30, 2020 were negatively impacted by “Impairment of long-lived assets” of $356 million, resulting from non-cash impairments of the T1 satellite and D1 satellites, as well as capitalized costs of equipment, labor and other assets and operating lease assets related to the narrowband IoT deployment that would not be utilized in our 5G Network Deployment. See Note 2 for further information.
