Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
, the Company has used a
five
-step process to identify the contract with the customer, identify the performance obligations, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations and recognize revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied. The majority of the Company’s revenue is recognized at the point in time control of the service is transferred to the customer. For certain other services, such as unlimited long distance, revenue is recognized over the period of time the service is provided. The Company has implemented the appropriate changes to its business processes, systems and controls to support revenue recognition and disclosures under ASU

Payment terms vary by customer. The Company typically invoices customers in the month following when the service was provided. The term between invoicing and when payment is due is less than a year and is
not
considered significant. Certain customers are invoiced in advance of the service being provided. Revenue is deferred until the point in time control of the service is transferred to the customer or over the term the service is provided.
 
Revenue is recognized net of taxes collected on behalf of
third
parties.
 
As of
September 30, 2018,
the Company had approximately
$8.0
million of unsatisfied performance obligations. As of
September 30, 2018,
the Company expected to recognize approximately
$0.9
million of revenue within the next year and
$7.1
million in the next
2
to

years related to such unsatisfied performance obligations. The Company does
not
disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected life of
one
year or less or for contracts for which the Company has a right to invoice for services performed.
