Note 8—Business Segment Information

The Company has two reportable business segments, Straight Path Spectrum, which holds, leases and markets fixed wireless spectrum, and Straight Path IP, which holds intellectual property primarily related to communications over computer networks, and the licensing and other businesses related to this intellectual property.

The Company’s reportable segments are distinguished by types of service, customers and methods used to provide their services. The operating results of these business segments are regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker.
