The additions and amortization for initial listing revenues, listing of additional shares revenues and annual renewal and other revenues primarily reflect revenues from our Listing Services business within our Corporate Services segment. For our market technology contracts, total revenues, as well as costs incurred, are deferred until significant modifications are completed and delivered. Once delivered, deferred revenue and the related deferred costs are recognized over the post-contract support period. For these market technology contracts, we have included the deferral of costs in other current assets and other non-current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. At December 31, 2016, we estimate that our deferred revenue, which is primarily corporate services and market technology revenues, will be recognized in the following years:
| Initial Listing Revenues |  | Listing of Additional Shares Revenues |  | Annual Renewal and Other Revenues |  | Market Technology Revenues |  | Total
| (in millions)
Fiscal year ended: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
2017 | $ | 16 |  |  | $ | 21 |  |  | $ | 57 |  |  | $ | 70 |  |  | $ | 164 |
2018 | 14 |  |  | 11 |  |  | — |  |  | 36 |  |  | 61 |
2019 | 11 |  |  | 4 |  |  | — |  |  | 33 |  |  | 48 |
2020 | 8 |  |  | 1 |  |  | — |  |  | 30 |  |  | 39 |
2021 | 4 |  |  | — |  |  | — |  |  | 9 |  |  | 13 |
2022 and thereafter | 1 |  |  | — |  |  | — |  |  | 7 |  |  | 8 |
| $ | 54 |  |  | $ | 37 |  |  | $ | 57 |  |  | $ | 185 |  |  | $ | 333 |
The timing of recognition of our deferred market technology revenues is primarily dependent upon the completion of customization and any significant modifications made pursuant to existing market technology contracts. As such, as it relates to market technology revenues, the timing represents our best estimate.
