The Company is assessed non-income related taxes by governmental authorities, including franchising authorities (generally under multi-year agreements), and collects such taxes from its customers.  In instances where the tax is being assessed directly on the Company, amounts paid to the governmental authorities are recorded as programming and other direct costs and amounts received from the customers are recorded as revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, and 2020, the amount of franchise fees and certain other taxes and fees included as a component of revenue aggregated $66,056, and $64,910, respectively.

Customer Contract Costs

Deferred enterprise commission costs are included in other noncurrent assets in the consolidated balance sheets and totaled $18,864 and $19,959 as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

A significant portion of our revenue is derived from residential and SMB customer contracts which are month-to month. As such, the amount of revenue related to unsatisfied performance obligations is not necessarily indicative of the future revenue to be recognized from our existing customer base. Contracts with enterprise customers generally range from three years to five years, and services may only be terminated in accordance with the contractual terms.
