Other Income and Expenses [Abstract] |
Other Operating Income | Other Operating Income During the fourth quarter of 2020, T-Mobile notified the Company that it was cancelling approximately 5,700 small cell nodes initially contracted with Sprint ("Sprint Cancellation") prior to its merger with T-Mobile. The majority of the cancelled small cells were not yet constructed and, upon completion, would have been located at the same locations as other T-Mobile small cells. The Sprint Cancellation resulted in T-Mobile accelerating payment of all contractual rental obligations associated with the approximately 5,700 small cells as well as the payment of capital costs incurred to date. The Company received approximately $308 million from T-Mobile pursuant to the Sprint Cancellation, and recognized receipt of this payment as "Other operating income" on its consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2020. Additionally, the Company previously received upfront payments from Sprint for certain of the small cells subject to the Sprint Cancellation, which the Company previously recorded as "Deferred revenues" and "Other long-term liabilities" on its consolidated balance sheet. As a result of the Sprint Cancellation, during the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company recognized the unamortized portion of such upfront payments, or approximately $54 million, as "Other operating income" on its consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2020. See also note 2 for a discussion of the Company's separate evaluation and write-off during the year ended December 31, 2020 of property and equipment previously recorded related to the cancelled small cells.
