[1] Net of accumulated amortization of $76 million as of June 30, 2017. As a result of the Transaction, the Company settled the pre-existing contractual arrangement between FOX SPORTS Australia and Foxtel. The settlement resulted in a write-off of the channel distribution agreement intangible asset, which was reflected in Other, net in the Statements of Operations. See Note 3-Acquisition, Disposals and Other Transactions.
[2] Net of accumulated amortization of $213 million and $181 million as of June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The useful lives of publishing rights range from 4 to 30 years primarily based on the weighted-average remaining contractual terms of the underlying publishing contracts and the Company's estimates of the period within those terms that the asset is expected to generate a majority of its future cash flows.
[3] Net of accumulated amortization of $447 million and $399 million as of June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The useful lives of customer relationships range from 2 to 25 years. The useful lives of these assets are estimated by applying historical attrition rates and determining the resulting period over which a majority of the accumulated undiscounted cash flows related to the customer relationships are expected to be generated.
[4] Net of accumulated amortization of $87 million and $83 million as of June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The useful lives of other intangible assets range from 2 to 15 years. The useful lives represent the periods over which these intangible assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the Company's future cash flows. During fiscal 2018, New America Marketing's FSI media distribution network was determined to no longer have an indefinite life due to the impact of changes from print circulation trends within the newspaper industry which is expected to continue to contract in the future, as consumers move to more digital products.
