Mergers, Acquisitions and Dispositions Disclosures [Text Block] | NOTE 6. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS 2023 Acquisitions We did not complete any acquisitions during the first quarter of 2023. 2022 Acquisitions During the year ended December 31, 2022, we completed the acquisition of a broadband service provider and its related assets as well as an outdoor advertising business and its related assets. These acquisitions were accounted for as business combinations under the provisions of ASC 805. A summary of the acquisitions is provided below. InfoWest & Go Fiber On April 1, 2022, FIF St George, LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired substantially all of the business assets of InfoWest, Inc. (“InfoWest”) and Go Fiber LLC (“Go Fiber”), who are fiber and fixed wireless internet service providers located in St. George, Utah. The InfoWest and Go Fiber businesses together provide high-speed internet services to over 20,000 customers throughout Southern and Central Utah, Northern Arizona and Moapa Valley, Nevada. Under the terms of the Agreement, FIF St George, LLC assumed only certain liabilities of InfoWest and Go Fiber. The total purchase price of $48,573,149 was paid 80% in cash, and the remaining 20% of the purchase price was paid by issuing to InfoWest and Go Fiber 20% of the outstanding equity of FIF St George, LLC. A portion of the cash purchase price is held in escrow to provide a source of indemnification for any breaches of the representations and warranties, covenants and other obligations of InfoWest and Go Fiber under the Agreement. At any time, InfoWest and Go Fiber have the option, but not the obligation, to sell FIF St George, LLC its entire ownership interest in FIF St George, LLC. FIF St George, LLC would be obligated to purchase the units and pay for the purchase over a three-year period if InfoWest and Go Fiber elect to exercise this option. Subject to the occurrence of certain future events, FIF St George, LLC has the option, but not the obligation, to purchase InfoWest and Go Fiber’s ownership interest in FIF St George, LLC, with payment due in full upon exercise of the option. The purchase price for the units under either of these put/call options is based upon a multiple of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and certain other expenses. The 20% interest owned by InfoWest and Go Fiber is included within "Redeemable Noncontrolling interest" in our consolidated Balance Sheets. The following is a summary of the allocation of the purchase price, which includes the final fair value allocation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

Elevation On November 21, 2022, our subsidiary, LMO, purchased the outdoor advertising assets of Elevation Outdoor Advertising, which we refer to as “Elevation,” based in Knoxville, TN for a purchase price of $14,239,257. Elevation was founded in 2002 and operates over 265 billboard faces, including 8 digital displays, in Knoxville and East Tennessee. Due to the timing of the transaction, the initial accounting for the business combination is incomplete. We are still in the process of obtaining and assessing documentation of the contracts for customer relationships and detailed reports for structures and permits. The provisional purchase price allocation is based on internal information derived from our previous acquisitions in the Midwestern United States.
