Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Reporting

Segment Reporting

We have determined our reportable segment based on our method of internal reporting, which disaggregates our business by geographic location. We evaluate performance and provide resources to it based on operating income before depreciation, amortization and impairment, restructuring and other charges, which we refer to as segment earnings. Nextel Brazil is our only reportable operating segment.
