testing annually or whenever indicators of impairment arise. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, our goodwill was
$120 million and $120 million, respectively, which relates to our wireless segment. In conducting our annual
impairment test for 2015, we determined that the fair value of our wireless segment, which consists of a single
reporting unit, was in excess of the carrying amount.
