(a) For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, 2.6% of Cable Communications segment revenue was derived from franchise and other regulatory fees. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, 2.6% and 2.7%, respectively, of Cable Communications segment revenue was derived from franchise and other regulatory fees.

(b) Comcast Cable’s wireless phone service is now presented in the Cable Communications segment. Results were previously presented in Corporate and Other. We recognize revenue from our wireless phone service as the services are provided, similar to how we recognize revenue for other residential cable services. We recognize revenue from the sale of handsets at the point of sale.

We operate primarily in the United States but also in select international markets. The table below summarizes revenue by geographic location.
