17. Segment Information

        The Company operates in the two reportable segments of telecommunications and data center colocation. This conclusion is based on how resources are allocated and performance is assessed by the Chief Executive Officer, the Company's chief operating decision maker. The telecommunications segment provides local voice services, long distance voice services, high-speed internet and video. In addition, the segment provides network access which includes data transport. Various related telephony services are provided including equipment and managed services. The data center colocation segment provides physical colocation, virtual colocation and various related telephony services.

        In 2013, the Company reevaluated its reportable segments. This was prompted by the acquisition of SystemMetrics and the Company's current strategic focus. Prior to the acquisition of SystemMetrics on September 30, 2013, the Company did not have data center colocation operations. Hence, the Company was in a single segment prior to 2013 under the revised reportable segment structure.

        The following table provides operating financial information for the Company's reportable segments for the years ended and as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 (dollars in thousands):
