[1] Net of accumulated amortization of $43 million and $33 million as of June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The average useful life of the channel distribution agreements is 25 years primarily based on the period that a majority of the future cash flows from these intangibles will be generated.

[2] Net of accumulated amortization of $122 million and $94 million as of June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The average useful life of publishing rights is 4 to 30 years primarily based on the weighted-average remaining contractual terms of the underlying publishing contracts and the Company's estimates of the period within those terms that the asset is expected to generate a majority of its future cash flows.

[3] Net of accumulated amortization of $354 million and $325 million as of June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The average useful life of customer relationships ranges from 2 to 25 years. The useful lives of these assets are estimated by applying historical attrition rates and determining the resulting period over which a majority of the accumulated undiscounted cash flows related to the customer relationships are expected to be generated. The useful lives represent the periods over which these intangible assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the Company's future cash flows.

[4] Net of accumulated amortization of $90 million and $86 million as of June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The average useful life of other intangible assets ranges from 2 to 10 years. The useful lives represent the periods over which these intangible assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the Company's future cash flows.
