The Communications segment provides wireless and wireline telecom, video and broadband services to consumers located in the U.S. or in U.S. territories and businesses globally. The Communications segment contains three reporting units: Mobility, Entertainment Group, and Business Wireline. Historical results in the Mobility and Business Wireline business units of the Communications segment have been recast to remove operations in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, which we began held-for-sale accounting in the third quarter of 2019.
