We acquired Canaan Cable ("Canaan") on December 31, 2020. The $2.1 million acquisition price was allocated as follows: $1.1 million of property, plant and equipment; $0.4 million to subscriber relationships; and $0.6 million of goodwill. We remitted $1.89 million of the acquisition price at closing.

During the third quarter of 2020, the Company completed the purchase of certain indefinite-lived CBRS spectrum licenses for an aggregate cost of $16.1 million, within our Broadband segment. Spectrum licenses in the CBRS band are issued by the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) and provide us priority access rights over general access users other than incumbents, in that specific band, in accordance with the FCC’s three-tier CBRS band spectrum sharing framework to utilize designated radio frequency spectrum within specific geographic service areas to provide wireless communication services.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, amortization expense was approximately $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
