Components of intangible assets that have finite lives

Intangible assets that have finite lives are tested for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Our intangible assets that have finite lives consisted of the following as of the dates indicated (in millions):

		December 31, 2015							December 31, 2014
	Estimated Useful			Accumulated							Accumulated
	Lives (Years)	Cost		Amortization			Net		Cost		Amortization			Net
