. Segment Reporting:
 
 
(a)  We are organized and managed based on
two
operating segments which are differentiated primarily by their services, the markets they serve and the regulatory environments in which they operate and are described as follows:
 
1.
     Network Access Services - This segment derives revenue from the sale of mobile phones, telephony services, high speed Internet access, billing solutions to individuals and small businesses primarily through the Ting website. Revenues are generated in the United States.  
 
2.
     Domain Services – This segment includes wholesale and retail domain name registration services, value added services and portfolio services. The Company primarily earns revenues from the registration fees charged to resellers in connection with new, renewed and transferred domain name registrations; the sale of retail Internet domain name registration and email services to individuals and small businesses; and by making its portfolio of domain names available for sale or lease. Domain Services revenues are attributed to the country in which the contract originates, primarily Canada and the United States.
 
The Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) is the chief operating decision maker and regularly reviews the operations and performance by segment. The CEO reviews gross profit as (i) a key measure of performance for each segment and (ii) to make decisions about the allocation of resources. Sales and marketing expenses, technical operations and development expenses, general and administrative expenses, depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of intangibles assets, impairment of indefinite life intangible assets, gain on currency forward contracts and other expense net are organized along functional lines and are 
not
 included in the measurement of segment profitability. Total assets and total liabilities are centrally managed and are 
not
 reviewed at the segment level by the CEO. The Company follows the same accounting policies for the segments as those described in Note
2
– “Significant Accounting Policies”, and “Note
10
– “Revenue”.
 
Information by reportable segments (with the exception of disaggregated revenue, which is discussed in Note
10
- Revenue), which is regularly reported to the chief operating decision maker is as follows (Dollar amounts in thousands of US dollars):
