Government Grants [Abstract]
Government Grants	Government Grants During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development ("VA DHCD"), in partnership with five counties in Virginia, awarded the Company up to approximately $57.8 million in grants under the Virginia Telecommunication Initiative ("VATI") to strategically expand the Company's broadband network in order to provide fiber-to-the-home broadband services to unserved residences in the partnering counties in Virginia. In July 2022, the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development ("MD DHCD"), in partnership with Frederick County, Maryland, awarded the Company up to approximately $10.2 million in grants to expand the Company's broadband network to homes and businesses in Frederick County. To receive such grant distributions, we are required to enter into agreements with each partnering county and meet certain build-out milestones. The network is required to meet certain performance conditions for a subsequent five year period to ensure that minimum download and upload speeds are able to be provided to the underserved residences. The Company recognizes grant receivables at the time it becomes probable that the Company will be eligible to receive the grant, which is estimated to correspond with the date when specified build-out milestones are achieved. The grant is treated as a reduction to the corresponding property, plant and equipment asset balance and is recognized through depreciation expense over the life of the corresponding asset. Reimbursable amounts are dependent upon the actual construction costs. The Company has not recognized any amounts under these programs as of June 30, 2022.
