Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] |
Revenue from Contracts with Customers | Refer to Note 13, Segment Reporting, for a summary of our revenue streams, which are discussed further below. Wireless Segment Revenue Under our affiliate agreement with Sprint, we have historically earned and recognized monthly revenue of $1.5 million for providing service to Sprint customers who pass through our network area ("travel revenue"). While we continue to provide these services to Sprint, the agreed upon payments were suspended by Sprint on April 30, 2019. Accordingly, we have ceased recognizing revenue for the services provided after that date until a new prospective fee can be agreed. We have triggered the final dispute resolution option with Sprint which we expect will lead to a resolution for travel fee revenue in the second quarter of 2020. Below is a summary of the Wireless segment's contract asset:
|  | Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands) |  | 2020 |  | 2019
Beginning Balance |  | $ | 84,663 |  |  | $ | 65,674 |
Contract payments |  | 18,245 |  |  | 18,151 |
Contract amortization against revenue |  | (16,710 | ) |  | (13,454 | )
Ending Balance |  | $ | 86,198 |  |  | $ | 70,371 |
Our Wireless contract asset is reduced by an estimated obligation to refund amounts that Sprint is later unable to collect from its subscribers. This refund obligation totaled $7.0 million at both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Broadband Segment Revenue Below is a summary of the Broadband segment's capitalized contract acquisition costs:
