The decrease in the Company’s net contract liability was due to the recognition of contract liabilities as revenue during the year ended December 31, 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized revenue of $27.6 million related to its December 31, 2022 contract liability and amortized $3.0 million of the December 31, 2022 contract asset into revenue. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized revenue of $25.1 million related to its December 31, 2021 contract liability and amortized $3.6 million of the December 31, 2021 contract asset into revenue. The Company did not recognize any revenue in the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 related to performance obligations that were satisfied or partially satisfied in previous periods. Contract Acquisition Costs The December 31, 2023 balance sheet includes contract acquisition costs of $11.3 million in other assets. The December 31, 2022 balance sheet includes contract acquisition costs of $8.3 million. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 the Company amortized $5.6 million, $3.5 million and $2.8 million, respectively, of contract acquisition cost. Remaining Performance Obligations Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations of certain multiyear mobility contracts, which include a promotional discount, and the Company’s construction and service contracts. The transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations was $494 million and $312 million at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company expects to satisfy approximately 35% of the remaining performance obligations and recognize the transaction price within 24 months and ap p r o x i m a t e ly $53 million annually from 2026 through 2031. The Company has certain mobility and carrier services contracts where transaction price is allocated to remaining performance obligations. However, the Company omits these contracts from the disclosure by applying the right to invoice, one year or less, any wholly unsatisfied performance obligation practical expedients. Disaggregation The Company's revenue is presented on a disaggregated basis in Note 14 based on an evaluation of disclosures outside the financial statements, information regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker for evaluating the financial performance of operating segments and other information that is used for performance evaluation and resource allocations. This includes revenue from Communication Services revenue, Construction revenue and Other revenue. Communication Services is further disaggregated into Mobility, Fixed, Carrier Services, and Other revenue. Construction revenue represents revenue generated within our US Telecom segment for the construction of network cell sites related to the FirstNet Agreement. Other revenue is further disaggregated Managed Services. Each of the revenue streams is presented for the Company’s International Telecom and US Telecom segments. This disaggregation of revenue depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Receivables At December 31, 2023, the Company had gross accounts receivable of $207.9 million and an allowance for credit losses of $16.4 million. The receivable under the FirstNet Agreement totaled $52.9 million, of which $7.2 million was current and $45.7 million was long-term.
