Accounts Receivable, net
Accounts receivable was recorded net of an allowance of $1.0 million and $1.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Accounts receivable, net, included $6.4 million and $6.0 million of unbilled receivables for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Unbilled receivables are defined as the Company's right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that we have transferred to the customer but have not yet billed for, generally as a result of contractual billing terms.

For purposes of assessing our asset retirement costs, we completed a review of the estimated useful life of our transmitter assets during the fourth quarter of 2024 (that are part of paging and computer equipment). This review was based on the results of our long-range planning and network rationalization process and indicated that the expected useful life of the last tranche of the transmitter assets was no longer appropriate. As a result of that review, the expected useful life of the final tranche of transmitter assets was extended. This change resulted in a revision of the expected future depreciation expense for the transmitter assets and an immaterial impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements beginning in 2025. We believe these estimates remain reasonable at the present time, but we can give no assurance that changes in technology, customer usage patterns, our financial condition, the economy or other factors would not result in changes to our transmitter decommissioning plans. Any further variations from our estimates could result in a change in the expected useful lives of the underlying transmitter assets and operating results could differ in the future by any difference in depreciation expense. The extension of the depreciable life was accounted for as a change in accounting estimate.
