The Company’s goodwill relates 90% to its Domain Services operating segment and 10% to its Network Access Services operating segment. On February 27, 2015, Ting Fiber, Inc., one of our wholly owned subsidiaries, acquired a 70% ownership interest in the BRI Group. Goodwill is not amortized, but is subject to an annual impairment test. Other Intangible Assets: Intangible assets consist of network rights, brand, customer relationships, surname domain names, non-competition agreements and our portfolio of domain names. As reflected in the table below, these balances are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the intangible assets, except for the surname domain names and portfolio domain names, which have been determined to have an indefinite life and which are tested annually for impairment. A summary of acquired intangible assets for the three months ended June 30, 2015 is as follows:
|  | Brand |  |  | Customer relationships |  |  | Network rights |  |  | Surname domain names |  |  | Direct navigation domain names |  |  |  |  |

As of June 30, 2015, the accumulated amortization for the definite life intangibles was $5.8 million. With regard to indefinite life intangible assets, as part of our normal renewal process we assessed that certain domain names that were acquired in the June 2006 acquisition of Mailbank.com Inc. that were up for renewal should not be renewed. Accordingly, for the three months ended June 30, 2015, domain names, with a book value of $37,805 (three months ended June 30, 2014 - $0.3 million), were not renewed and were recorded as an impairment of indefinite life intangible assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, domain names, with a book value of $50,298 (six months ended June 30, 2014 - $0.6 million), were not renewed and were recorded as an impairment of indefinite life intangible assets.
