Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Information about Segments and Geographic Areas

Information about Segments and Geographic Areas

Subsequent to the completion of our sale of the Motorola Mobile business on October 29, 2014, we operate as a single operating segment. Our chief operating decision maker reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance.

In conjunction with the reorganization as discussed in Note 1, we are implementing a new operating structure which is being introduced in phases. For financial reporting purposes, we expect to disclose our Google business as a single segment and all other Alphabet businesses combined as Other Bets beginning in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Revenues by geography are based on the billing addresses of our customers. The following tables set forth revenues and long-lived assets by geographic area (in millions):
