Summary of Operations | Summary of Operations Unless the context requires otherwise, “NII Holdings, Inc.,” “NII Holdings,” “we,” “our,” “us” and “the Company” refer to the combined businesses of NII Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. We refer to our wholly-owned Brazilian operating company, Nextel Telecomunicações Ltda., as Nextel Brazil. We provide wireless communication services under the Nextel TM brand in Brazil with our principal operations located in major urban and suburban centers with high population densities and related transportation corridors of that country where we believe there is a concentration of Brazil's business users and economic activity, including primarily Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. In the second half of 2013, Nextel Brazil commercially launched services on its wideband code division multiple access, or WCDMA, network in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and surrounding areas and extended those services to other areas in Brazil by expanding the coverage of its network and utilizing roaming services and network sharing arrangements pursuant to agreements that it reached with another network operator in Brazil. Nextel Brazil currently offers services supported by its WCDMA network in approximately 260 cities in Brazil. Our WCDMA network enables us to offer a wide range of products and services supported by that technology, including data services provided at substantially higher speeds than can be delivered on our legacy integrated digital enhanced network or iDEN. Prior to the deployment of our WCDMA network, our services were primarily targeted to meet the needs of business customers. With the deployment of our WCDMA network in Brazil, our target market has shifted to individual consumers who use our services to meet both professional and personal needs. Our target subscribers generally exhibit above average usage, revenue and loyalty characteristics. We believe our target market is attracted to the services and pricing plans we offer, as well as the quality of and data speeds provided by our WCDMA network. We also offer long-term evolution, or LTE, services in Rio de Janeiro and continue to provide services on our legacy iDEN network throughout various regions in Brazil. Our transition to standards-based technologies such as WCDMA also gives us more flexibility to offer customers the option of purchasing services by acquiring the subscriber identity module, or SIM, cards from us separately, and by providing the customer with the option to use the SIM cards in one or more devices that they acquire from us or from other sources. The services we currently offer include: • mobile telephone voice service; • wireless data services, including text messaging services, mobile internet services and email services; • push-to-talk services, including Direct Connect ® , Prip and International Direct Connect ® services, which allow subscribers to talk to each other instantly; • other value-added services, including location-based services, which include the use of Global Positioning System, or GPS, technologies; digital media services; and a wide ranging set of applications available via our content management system, as well as the Android TM open application market; • business solutions, such as security, work force management, logistics support and other applications that help our business subscribers improve their productivity; and • voice and data roaming services outside of our coverage areas. Sales of Nextel Argentina and Nextel Mexico. On April 30, 2015, we completed the sale of our operations in Mexico to New Cingular Wireless, Inc., or New Cingular Wireless, an indirect subsidiary of AT&T, Inc., or AT&T. In addition, on September 11, 2015, two of our indirect subsidiaries entered into a binding agreement with Grupo Clarin S.A., or Grupo Clarin, relating to the sale of all of the outstanding equity interests of Nextel Argentina, which was completed on January 27, 2016. See Note 5 for more information on these sales. In connection with these transactions, we have presented Nextel Argentina's and Nextel Mexico's results for all periods presented as discontinued operations in this annual report on Form 10-K. Going Concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the occurrence of the uncertainties described below. We have an obligation to meet a net debt financial covenant in Nextel Brazil's local bank loans that will apply semiannually beginning on June 30, 2016. We have made a number of changes within our senior management team and modified our business plan to reflect our available cash resources and the impact of the current and expected economic and competitive conditions in Brazil on both our subscriber growth and revenues, and to align our costs with this revised outlook, but based on our current business plan, we believe that it is unlikely that we will satisfy the applicable financial covenant included in both of Nextel Brazil's local bank loan agreements at the June 30, 2016 measurement date. If we are unable to develop or implement changes to our business that allow us to meet this covenant, we will need to refinance or negotiate amendments to these financing arrangements or secure waivers from the lenders in order to avoid a potential default under the loan agreements. If a default occurs, the lenders could require us to repay the amounts outstanding under these arrangements, and if they were to do so, the lender of Nextel Brazil's equipment financing facility could accelerate the amount outstanding under that obligation as well. As of December 31, 2015, we had $233.8 million principal amount outstanding under Nextel Brazil's local bank loans and $342.5 million principal amount outstanding under Nextel Brazil’s equipment financing facility. See Note 7 for more information. Because it is unlikely that we will satisfy the applicable financial covenant included in both of Nextel Brazil's local bank loans and because of the cross-default provisions included in Nextel Brazil's equipment financing facility as described above, we concluded that the circumstances described above raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. |

Reorganizations [Abstract] | |
Reorganization under Chapter 11 of US Bankruptcy Code Disclosure [Text Block] | Emergence from Chapter 11 Proceedings and Fresh Start Accounting On September 15, 2014, we and eight of our U.S. and Luxembourg-domiciled subsidiaries, including NII Capital Corp. and NII International Telecom, S.C.A., or NIIT, filed voluntary petitions seeking relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, which we refer to as Chapter 11, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, which we refer to as the Bankruptcy Court. In addition, subsequent to September 15, 2014, five additional subsidiaries of NII Holdings, Inc. filed voluntary petitions seeking relief under Chapter 11 in the Bankruptcy Court. We refer to the companies that filed voluntary petitions seeking relief under Chapter 11 collectively as the Debtors. Nextel Brazil and our previous other operating subsidiaries in Latin America were not Debtors in these Chapter 11 cases. On June 19, 2015, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving and confirming the First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization Proposed by the Plan Debtors and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors, dated April 20, 2015. We refer to this plan, as amended, as the Plan of Reorganization. On June 26, 2015, the conditions of the Bankruptcy Court's order and the Plan of Reorganization were satisfied, the Plan of Reorganization became effective, and we and the other Debtors emerged from the Chapter 11 proceedings. We refer to June 26, 2015 as the Emergence Date. The significant transactions that occurred on the Emergence Date in connection with the effectiveness of our Plan of Reorganization included the following: • NII Holdings canceled all shares of its common stock, preferred stock and other equity interests that existed prior to June 26, 2015; • NII Holdings amended and restated its Bylaws and filed an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizing the Company to issue up to 140,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and up to 10,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share; • NII Holdings issued 99,999,992 shares of new common stock, with a per share value of $20.68 , and distributed cash of $776.3 million to the holders of claims and service providers in comprehensive settlement of numerous integrated claims and disputes approved by the Bankruptcy Court in connection with the confirmation of the Plan of Reorganization; • In accordance with the Plan of Reorganization, all of the obligations of the Debtors with respect to the following indebtedness were canceled: • $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.875% senior notes due 2019 issued by NIIT pursuant to an indenture, dated as of May 23, 2013, among NIIT (as issuer), the Company (as guarantor), and Wilmington Trust National Association (as trustee) and all amendments, supplements or modifications thereto and extensions thereof; • $900.0 million aggregate principal amount of 11.375% senior notes due 2019 issued by NIIT pursuant to an indenture, dated as of February 19, 2013, among NIIT (as issuer), the Company (as guarantor), and Wilmington Trust National Association (as trustee) and all amendments, supplements or modifications thereto and extensions thereof; • $1.45 billion aggregate principal amount of 7.625% senior notes due 2021 issued by NII Capital Corp. pursuant to an indenture, dated as of March 29, 2011, among NII Capital Corp. (as issuer), each of the guarantors party thereto and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB (as successor trustee) and all amendments, supplements or modifications thereto and extensions thereof; • $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.875% senior notes due 2019 issued by NII Capital Corp. pursuant to an indenture, dated as of December 15, 2009, among NII Capital Corp. (as issuer), each of the guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association (as successor trustee) and all amendments, supplements or modifications thereto and extensions thereof; and • $800.0 million aggregate principal amount of 10.0% senior notes due 2016 issued by NII Capital Corp. pursuant to an indenture, dated as of August 18, 2009, among NII Capital Corp. (as issuer), each of the guarantors party thereto and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB (as successor trustee) and all amendments, supplements or modifications thereto and extensions thereof. Pursuant to our Plan of Reorganization, we entered into a registration rights agreement to provide registration rights to parties that, together with their affiliates, received upon emergence 10% or more of the issued and outstanding common stock of NII Holdings in connection with the Plan of Reorganization. In satisfaction of this registration rights agreement, on July 14, 2015, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act of 1933 to register our common stock that may be offered for sale from time to time by certain selling stockholders. On July 21, 2015, this Form S-1 was declared effective. We are not selling any common stock under the related prospectus and will not receive any proceeds from the sale of common stock by the selling stockholders. In connection with our emergence from Chapter 11, we were required to apply the provisions of fresh start accounting to our financial statements because: (i) the holders of existing voting shares of NII Holdings prior to its emergence from the Chapter 11 proceedings received less than 50% of the voting shares of NII Holdings outstanding following its emergence from the Chapter 11 proceedings; and (ii) the reorganization value of our assets immediately prior to confirmation of the Plan of Reorganization was less than the post-petition liabilities and allowed claims. Because our results of operations during the period from June 26, 2015 to June 30, 2015 were not material, we applied fresh start accounting to our consolidated financial statements as of the close of business on June 30, 2015. Under the principles of fresh start accounting, a new reporting entity is considered to be created, and as a result, we allocated the reorganization value of NII Holdings as of June 30, 2015 to our individual assets based on their estimated fair values at the date we applied fresh start accounting. The total value of the cash and shares of common stock distributed under the Plan of Reorganization was $2.813 billion . We refer to this value as the Plan Distributable Value. The Plan Distributable Value was comprised of $745.2 million of cash paid to the holders of our NIIT and NII Capital Corp. senior notes and $2,067.7 million of new common stock. We also distributed an additional $2.8 million to other creditors. We determined the equity value of the Successor Company to be approximately $2,067.7 million , which represents the $2.813 billion Plan Distributable Value less $745.2 million in cash distributions. The following condensed consolidated balance sheet reconciles the balance sheet of the Predecessor Company immediately prior to our emergence from Chapter 11 to the balance sheet of the Successor Company immediately subsequent to our emergence from Chapter 11. The adjustments set forth in the condensed consolidated balance sheet presented below reflect the consummation of the Plan of Reorganization, which are reflected in the "Reorganization Adjustments" column, and the fair value adjustments required by the implementation of fresh start accounting, which are reflected in the "Fresh Start Adjustments" column. The information presented below reflects changes in the estimated fair values of certain assets and liabilities that occurred in the second half of 2015 as we finalized fresh start accounting. This condensed consolidated balance sheet should be read in conjunction with the explanatory notes following the table. The following is a reconciliation of the Successor Company's equity value to its reorganization value as of June 30, 2015 (in thousands): Fair value of Successor Company's common stock $ 2,067,665 Fair value of debt 774,616 Fair value of other liabilities 638,916 Reorganization value of Successor Company's assets $ 3,481,197 Predecessor Company Reorganization Adjustments Fresh Start Adjustments Successor Company June 30, 2015 July 1, 2015 (in thousands) ASSETS Current assets Cash and cash equivalents $ 1,199,441 $ (776,306 ) (a) $ — $ 423,135 Short-term investments 97,395 — — 97,395 Accounts receivable, net 174,649 — — 174,649 Handset and accessory inventory 49,835 — — 49,835 Prepaid expenses and other 159,346 — (19,494 ) (d) 139,852 Assets related to discontinued operations 242,487 — — 242,487 Total current assets 1,923,153 (776,306 ) (19,494 ) 1,127,353 Property, plant and equipment, net 1,079,947 — (376,519 ) (e) 703,428 Intangible assets, net 571,076 — 562,702 (f) 1,133,778 Other assets 516,235 — (18,739 ) (g) 497,496 Assets related to discontinued operations 32,246 — (13,104 ) (h) 19,142 Total assets $ 4,122,657 $ (776,306 ) $ 134,846 $ 3,481,197 LIABILITIES AND STOCKHOLDERS’ (DEFICIT) EQUITY Liabilities not subject to compromise Current liabilities Accounts payable $ 102,317 $ — $ — $ 102,317 Accrued expenses and other 323,480 — (2,677 ) (i) 320,803 Deferred revenues 17,908 — (1,805 ) (j) 16,103 Current portion of long-term debt 667,617 — 2,616 (k) 670,233 Liabilities related to discontinued operations 96,161 — (1,727 ) (h) 94,434 Total current liabilities 1,207,483 — (3,593 ) 1,203,890 Long-term debt 176,738 — (72,355 ) (k) 104,383 Other long-term liabilities 149,632 — (56,541 ) (l) 93,091 Liabilities related to discontinued operations 5,763 — 6,405 (h) 12,168 Total liabilities not subject to compromise 1,539,616 — (126,084 ) 1,413,532 Liabilities subject to compromise 4,591,452 (4,591,452 ) (b) — — Stockholders’ (deficit) equity Undesignated preferred stock - Successor Company — — — — Undesignated preferred stock - Predecessor Company — — — — Common stock - Successor Company — 100 (b) — 100 Common stock - Predecessor Company 172 (172 ) (c) — — Paid-in capital - Successor Company — 2,067,565 (b) — 2,067,565 Paid-in capital - Predecessor Company 1,522,320 (1,522,320 ) (c) — — Accumulated deficit (2,418,560 ) 3,269,973 (c) (851,413 ) (m) — Accumulated other comprehensive loss (1,112,343 ) — 1,112,343 (m) — Total stockholders’ (deficit) equity (2,008,411 ) 3,815,146 260,930 2,067,665 Total liabilities and stockholders’ (deficit) equity $ 4,122,657 $ (776,306 ) $ 134,846 $ 3,481,197 Our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of July 1, 2015 presented above reflects the effect of the following adjustments: (a) Reflects cash payments made in connection with the implementation of the Plan of Reorganization (in thousands): Claims paid to senior noteholders $ 745,221 Payments to other creditors 2,779 Total claims paid 748,000 Reorganization-related professional fees 28,306 Total cash payments $ 776,306 (b) Represents the cancellation of debt and related transactions in connection with the implementation of the Plan of Reorganization on the Emergence Date. In accordance with the Plan of Reorganization, we distributed cash and shares of new common stock to holders of claims. The following table reflects the calculation of the total gain on the settlement of our liabilities subject to compromise (in thousands): Total Predecessor Company liabilities subject to compromise $ 4,591,452 Less: Common stock, Successor (at par) (100 ) Paid-in-capital, Successor (2,067,565 ) Total claims paid (748,000 ) Gain on settlement of liabilities subject to compromise $ 1,775,787 (c) Reflects the cumulative impact of the reorganization adjustments discussed above.

(e) Reflects the impact of fresh start adjustments on property, plant and equipment in Nextel Brazil and our corporate segment. We measured the fair value of property, plant and equipment using the cost approach as the primary method. The cost approach is based on the premise that a prudent investor would pay no more for an asset than its replacement or reproduction cost. The cost to replace the asset would include the cost of constructing a similar asset of equivalent utility at prices applicable at the time of the valuation analysis. The replacement or reproduction cost estimates were adjusted by losses in value attributable to physical deterioration, as well as functional and economic obsolescence. The following reflects the impact of fresh start adjustments (in thousands): Consolidated Predecessor Company Fresh Start Adjustments Successor Company Land $ 3,341 $ — $ 3,341 Leasehold improvements 35,515 (20,188 ) 15,327 Network equipment, communication towers and network software 1,819,759 (1,291,712 ) 528,047 Software, office equipment, furniture and fixtures and other 342,210 (261,342 ) 80,868 Less: Accumulated depreciation and amortization (1,207,834 ) 1,207,834 — 992,991 (365,408 ) 627,583 Construction in progress 86,956 (11,111 ) 75,845 $ 1,079,947 $ (376,519 ) $ 703,428 (f) Reflects the impact of fresh start adjustments on our intangible assets (in thousands): Nextel Brazil Predecessor Company Fresh Start Adjustments Successor Company Licenses $ 553,076 $ 513,002 $ 1,066,078 Customer relationships — 29,000 29,000 In Brazil, our spectrum holdings include 20 megahertz, or MHz, of 1.9 gigahertz, or GHz,/2.1 GHz spectrum and 20 MHz of 1.8 GHz spectrum that support our WCDMA network and, in Rio de Janeiro, our LTE network. We also have spectrum holdings in the 800 MHz specialized mobile radio, or SMR, spectrum band that currently can only be used to support our iDEN network. We valued Nextel Brazil's spectrum licenses using both the income approach and the market approach. The resulting value of these licenses was similar to the prices observed for comparable licenses in Brazil in recent guideline transactions. Our income approach used the Greenfield method specifically, whereby we estimated the discounted future cash flows of a hypothetical start-up business, based on certain assumptions, including: (i) forecasted revenues, profit margins, capital expenditures and cash flows attributable to the spectrum for the period from July 1, 2015 to June 1, 2041. This date represents the end of the current term of our spectrum licenses, including renewals solely at our option; and (ii) a discount rate of 16.5% , which is based on an after-tax weighted average cost of capital. We valued our customer relationships using the excess earnings method, which is a form of the income approach, by estimating the discounted future cash flows attributable to existing subscribers. This estimation was based on certain assumptions, including: (i) forecasted revenues and cash flows attributable to the current subscriber base beginning on July 1, 2015; (ii) a churn rate ranging from 1.9% to 2.6% ; and (iii) a discount rate of 16.5% , based on an after-tax weighted average cost of capital. Corporate Predecessor Company Fresh Start Adjustments Successor Company Trade name 18,000 20,700 38,700 Our trade name represents the right to use the Nextel name exclusively in our markets. We valued our trade name using the relief from royalty method, a form of the income approach that estimates the amount a market participant would pay to utilize that trade name, based on certain assumptions, including (i) forecasted revenues attributable to the trade name from July 1, 2015 to June 1, 2041; (ii) a royalty rate of 0.25% of expected revenues determined with regard to comparable market transactions; and (iii) a discount rate of 16.5% , which was based on an after-tax weighted average cost of capital. (g) Represents a $13.5 million decrease in non-income based tax assets to reduce their values to their estimated fair values based on discounted cash flows to reflect the timing of their anticipated realization and a $5.2 million write-off of prepaid rent. (h) Represents the net change in assets and liabilities related to Nextel Argentina as a result of remeasurement to their respective fair values. (i) Represents the write-off of unamortized deferred gains related to the 2013 tower transactions. (j) Represents the revaluation of deferred revenues to the fair value of related future performance obligations. (k) Adjustments to Nextel Brazil's debt balances related to the remeasurement of its equipment financing facility, local bank loans, tower financings and capital lease obligations to their fair values were as follows (in thousands): Nextel Brazil Predecessor Company Fresh Start Adjustments Successor Company Brazil equipment financing $ 366,937 $ (2,989 ) $ 363,948 Brazil bank loans 294,322 9,987 304,309 Brazil capital lease and tower financing obligations 182,108 (76,737 ) 105,371 Other 988 — 988 Total debt 844,355 (69,739 ) 774,616 Less: current portion (667,617 ) (2,616 ) (670,233 ) $ 176,738 $ (72,355 ) $ 104,383 (l) Primarily represents the $61.3 million write-off of unamortized deferred gains related to the 2013 tower transactions and a $5.4 million increase related to the remeasurement of asset retirement obligations to their fair values.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Reorganization Accounting. In accordance with the requirements of reorganization accounting, NII Holdings adopted the provisions of fresh start accounting as of June 30, 2015 and became a new entity for financial reporting purposes. References to the "Successor Company" relate to NII Holdings on or subsequent to June 30, 2015. References to the "Predecessor Company" relate to NII Holdings prior to June 30, 2015. See Note 2 for more information regarding the implementation of fresh start accounting. Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or the U.S., requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results to be reported in future periods could differ from our estimates. Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NII Holdings and our subsidiaries. Our decision to consolidate an entity is based on our control of the entity through direct and indirect majority interest in the entity. We eliminate all significant intercompany transactions, including intercompany profits and losses, in consolidation. Concentrations of Risk. Substantially all of our revenues are generated from our operations located in Brazil. Regulatory entities in Brazil regulate the licensing, construction, acquisition, ownership and operation of our networks, and certain other aspects of our business, including some of the rates we charge our subscribers. Changes in the current telecommunications statutes or regulations in Brazil could adversely affect our business. In addition, as of December 31, 2015, 73% of our total assets were owned by Nextel Brazil. Political, financial and economic developments in Brazil could impact the recoverability of our assets. Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant amounts of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivable. Our cash and cash equivalents are deposited with high-quality financial institutions. At times, we maintain cash balances in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (or the foreign country equivalent institution) limits. Our short-term investments are composed of investments in U.S. treasury securities, investments in corporate bonds and certain investments made by Nextel Brazil. See Note 8 for further information. Our accounts receivable are generally unsecured. We routinely assess the credit worthiness of our subscribers and maintain allowances for probable losses, where necessary. Foreign Currency. We translate Nextel Brazil's results of operations from Brazilian reais to U.S. dollars using average exchange rates during the relevant period, while we translate assets and liabilities at the exchange rate in effect at the reporting date. We translate equity balances at historical rates. We report the resulting gains or losses from translating foreign currency financial statements as other comprehensive income or loss. In general, monetary assets and liabilities held by Nextel Brazil that are denominated in U.S. dollars give rise to realized and unrealized foreign currency transaction gains and losses, which we record in our consolidated statement of comprehensive (loss) income as foreign currency transaction losses, net. We report the effects of changes in exchange rates associated with certain U.S. dollar-denominated intercompany loans and advances to our foreign subsidiaries that are of a long-term investment nature as other comprehensive income or loss in our consolidated financial statements. We have determined that certain U.S. dollar-denominated intercompany loans and advances to Nextel Brazil are of a long-term investment nature. Cash and Cash Equivalents. We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents, except for certain certificates of deposit in Brazil that are redeemable on demand. We classify these certificates of deposit as short-term investments. Cash equivalents primarily consist of money market funds and other similarly structured funds. Short-Term Investments. We classify investments in debt securities as available-for-sale as of the balance sheet date and report them at fair value. We record unrealized gains and losses, net of income tax, as other comprehensive income or loss. We report realized gains or losses, as determined on a specific identification basis, and other-than-temporary declines in value, if any, in net other expense in our consolidated statement of comprehensive (loss) income. We assess declines in the value of individual investments to determine whether the decline is other-than-temporary and thus the investment is impaired. We make these assessments by considering available evidence, including changes in general market conditions, specific industry and individual company data, the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the individual company and our intent and ability to hold the investment. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, we had $ 9.3 million and $ 28.6 million , respectively, in time deposits. See Note 8 for additional information. Handset and Accessory Inventory. We record handsets and accessories at the lower of cost or their net realizable value. We determine cost by the weighted average costing method. We expense handset costs at the time of sale and classify such costs in cost of handsets and accessories. Inventory cost includes amounts associated with non-income based taxes. We analyze the net realizable value of handset and accessory inventory on a periodic basis. This analysis includes an assessment of the obsolescence of individual devices, our sales forecasts and other factors. For the six months ended December 31, 2015, we recorded losses related to inventory obsolescence of $2.2 million . In addition, for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, we recorded losses related to inventory obsolescence of $29.3 million and $43.0 million , respectively, which includes $14.1 million in 2013 related to expected losses on firm purchase commitments. We did not record any losses related to inventory obsolescence during the six months ended June 30, 2015. Property, Plant and Equipment. We record property, plant and equipment, including improvements that extend useful lives or enhance functionality, at cost, while we charge maintenance and repairs to operations as incurred. We capitalize internal and external costs incurred to develop internal-use software, which consist primarily of costs related to configuration, interfaces, installation and testing. We also capitalize internal and external costs incurred to develop specified upgrades and enhancements if they result in significant additional functionalities for our existing software. We expense all costs related to evaluation of software needs, data conversion, training, maintenance and other post-implementation operating activities. We calculate depreciation using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 30 years for network equipment, communication towers and network software and 3 to 10 years for software, office equipment, furniture and fixtures, and other, which includes non-network internal use software. We include depreciation expense on our capital leases in accumulated depreciation. We amortize leasehold improvements over the shorter of the lease terms or the useful lives of the improvements. Construction in progress includes internal and external labor, materials, transmission and related equipment, engineering, site development, interest and other costs relating to the construction and development of our wireless network. We do not depreciate assets under construction until they are ready for their intended use. We capitalize interest and other costs, including labor and software upgrades, which are applicable to the construction of, and significant improvements that enhance functionality to, our network equipment. As of June 30, 2015, in connection with the implementation of fresh start accounting, we adjusted our property, plant and equipment to its estimated fair value and revised the depreciable lives. We will continue to periodically review the depreciation method, useful lives and estimated salvage value of our property, plant and equipment and revise those estimates if current estimates are significantly different from previous estimates. During the fourth quarter of 2013, we reviewed the useful lives of our communication towers and determined that the useful lives of some of these towers should be increased to 30 years compared to the 10- or 15-year useful lives over which we were previously depreciating these sites. As a result of this change in useful lives, our depreciation expense decreased by $44.4 million in 2014. Asset Retirement Obligations. We record an asset retirement obligation, or ARO, and an associated asset retirement cost, or ARC, when we have a legal obligation in connection with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets. Our obligations arise from certain of our leases and relate primarily to the cost of removing our communication towers and network equipment from leased sites. We recognize an ARO, and the associated ARC, in the period in which it is incurred at fair value computed using discounted cash flow techniques. The liability is then accreted over time until the obligation is settled and the ARC is depreciated over the useful life of the related assets. We make adjustments for changes to either the timing or amount of the estimated future settlement obligation in the period incurred. We recognize increases in the present value of the AROs as an additional liability and add this amount to the carrying amount of the associated ARC. We record decreases as a reduction in both the recorded liability and the carrying amount of the associated ARC. To the extent that the decrease in the recorded liability exceeds the carrying amount of the associated ARC, we record the excess as a component of operating income. As of June 30, 2015, in connection with the implementation of fresh start accounting, we adjusted our AROs to their estimated fair value. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014 , our asset retirement obligations were as follows (in thousands): Balance, January 1, 2014 — Predecessor Company $ 22,643 New asset retirement obligations 4,052 Change in assumptions (941 ) Accretion 3,521 Settlement of asset retirement obligations (6,895 ) Foreign currency translation and other (3,203 ) Balance, December 31, 2014 — Predecessor Company 19,177 New asset retirement obligations 350 Accretion 1,321 Settlement of asset retirement obligations (168 ) Foreign currency translation and other (2,011 ) Balance, June 30, 2015 — Predecessor Company 18,669 Fresh start adjustments 5,024 Balance, July 1, 2015 — Successor Company 23,693 New asset retirement obligations 547 Accretion 1,688 Settlement of asset retirement obligations (1,337 ) Foreign currency translation and other (4,949 ) Balance, December 31, 2015 — Successor Company $ 19,642 Derivative Financial Instruments. We occasionally enter into derivative transactions for hedging or risk management purposes. We have not and will not enter into any derivative transactions for speculative or profit generating purposes. During the six months ended December 31, 2015, the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, Nextel Brazil entered into derivative transactions to manage foreign currency risk on certain forecasted transactions. See Note 8 for additional information. Valuation of Long-Lived Assets. We review long-lived assets such as property, plant and equipment and identifiable intangible assets with definite useful lives, which include our telecommunications licenses, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the total of the expected undiscounted future cash flows of the asset or asset group is less than the carrying amount of the asset, we recognize a loss, if any, for the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the asset. Intangible Assets. Prior to our emergence from Chapter 11, intangible assets primarily consisted of our telecommunications licenses. We amortize our intangible assets using the straight-line method over the estimated benefit period. As a result of the implementation of fresh start accounting in connection with our emergence from Chapter 11, we recorded our intangible assets, which consisted of our telecommunications licenses, our exclusive right to use the Nextel tradename in Brazil and our customer relationships, at their estimated fair values. We calculate amortization on our licenses and our tradename using the straight-line method based on an estimated useful life of 26 years. We calculate amortization on our customer relationships using the straight-line method based on an estimated useful life of 4 years. In Brazil, licenses are customarily issued conditionally for specified periods of time ranging from 10 to 40 years, including renewals. In addition, the wireless telecommunications industry is experiencing significant technological change, and the commercial life of any particular technology is difficult to predict. In light of these uncertainties, we classify our licenses as definite lived intangible assets. In connection with the implementation of fresh start accounting, we revised the remaining estimated useful lives of our licenses to include renewal periods in cases where it is probable that a renewal will occur. Revenue Recognition. Operating revenues primarily consist of wireless service revenues and revenues generated from the sale of handsets and accessories. We present our operating revenues net of value-added taxes, but we include certain revenue-based taxes that are our primary obligation. Service revenues primarily consist of fixed monthly access charges. Other components of service revenue include revenues from calling party pays programs, where applicable, variable charges for airtime usage in excess of plan minutes, long-distance charges, international roaming revenues derived from calls placed by our subscribers on other carriers’ networks and revenues generated from broadband data services we provide on our WCDMA network, net of credits and adjustments for service discounts and value-added taxes. We recognize excess usage, local, long distance and calling party pays revenue at contractual rates per minute as minutes are used. We record cash received in excess of revenues earned as deferred revenues. We recognize service revenue as service is provided. We recognize handset revenue when title and risk of loss passes to the customer. Other revenues primarily include amounts generated from our handset maintenance programs, roaming revenues generated from other companies’ subscribers that roam on our networks and co-location rental revenues from third party tenants that rent space on our towers. We recognize revenue generated from our handset maintenance programs on a monthly basis at fixed amounts over the service period. We recognize roaming revenues at contractual rates per minute as minutes are used. We recognize co-location revenues from third party tenants on a monthly basis based on the terms set by the underlying agreements. Revenue-Based Taxes. We record revenue-based taxes and other excise taxes on a gross basis as a component of both service and other revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated financial statements. For the six months ended December 31, 2015 and the six months ended June 30, 2015, we recognized $30.9 million and $39.0 million in revenue-based taxes and other excise taxes, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, we recognized $101.0 million and $127.3 million in revenue-based taxes and other excise taxes, respectively. Accounts Receivable. Accounts receivable represents amounts due from subscribers, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts, and includes amounts that have been billed to customers and amounts that have not yet been billed. Trade accounts receivable consists of fixed monthly charges, as well as charges for excess and roaming minutes used in arrears. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable sufficient to cover probable and reasonably estimated losses. We estimate this allowance based on historical experience, aging of accounts receivable and recent collections trends. While we believe that the estimates we use are reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates. Subscriber Related Direct Costs. We recognize all costs of handset sales when title and risk of loss passes upon delivery of the handset to the subscriber. Advertising Costs. We expense costs related to advertising and other promotional expenditures as incurred. Advertising costs totaled $21.6 million and $28.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2015 and the six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. We recognized $88.7 million and $54.4 million in advertising costs during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 , respectively. Share-Based Compensation. We measure and recognize compensation expense for all share-based compensation awards based on estimated fair values. We account for share-based awards exchanged for employee services in accordance with the authoritative guidance for stock compensation. Under that guidance, share-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award when settled in shares, and is recognized, net of estimated forfeitures, over the employee's requisite service period. Compensation expense is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award, which is generally the maximum vesting period of the award. See Note 12 for more information. Net (Loss) Income Per Common Share, Basic and Diluted. Basic net (loss) income per common share is computed by dividing adjusted net (loss) income attributable to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net (loss) income per common share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could participate in our earnings, but not securities that are antidilutive, including stock options with an exercise price greater than the average market price of our common stock. Our unvested restricted stock awards, or RSAs, contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends, whether paid or unpaid. As a result, our RSAs are considered participating securities because their holders have the right to participate in earnings with common stockholders. We use the two-class method to allocate net income between common shares and other participating securities. As presented for the six months ended December 31, 2015 and the six months ended June 30, 2015, we did not include 2.2 million and 4.8 million stock options, respectively, in our calculation of diluted net (loss) income from continuing operations per common share because their effect would have been antidilutive. In addition, for the six months ended December 31, 2015, we did not include an immaterial amount of restricted common shares in our calculation of diluted net (loss) income from continuing operations per common share because their effect would have been antidilutive. As presented for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, we did not include 5.4 million or 10.8 million stock options, respectively, and 0.9 million or 2.8 million in restricted common shares, respectively, in our calculation of diluted net loss from continuing operations per common share because their effect would have been antidilutive to our net loss from continuing operations per common share for those periods. Income Taxes. We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method, under which we recognize deferred income taxes for the tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities, as well as for tax loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recoverable or settled. We recognize the effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates in income in the period that includes the enactment date. We recognize a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets unless it is determined that it is “more-likely-than-not” that the asset will be realized. Reclassifications. We have reclassified some prior period amounts in our consolidated financial statements to conform to our current presentation. New Accounting Pronouncements. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. This new authoritative guidance will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective on January 1, 2018, and early application is permitted on January 1, 2017. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We are evaluating the effect that the new revenue recognition guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. We have not yet selected a transition method nor have we determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, "Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes," requiring all deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any related valuation allowance, to be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. The classification change for all deferred taxes as non-current simplifies entities’ processes as it eliminates the need to separately identify the net current and net noncurrent deferred tax asset or liability in each jurisdiction and allocate valuation allowances. We early adopted this standard in the fourth quarter of 2015 and applied the requirements retroactively to all periods presented. The adoption of this standard resulted in the reclassification of $39.1 million from current deferred tax assets and $0.2 million from noncurrent deferred tax assets to a $39.3 million reduction in noncurrent deferred tax liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014. In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-07, "Fair Value Measurement: Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent)." This guidance eliminates the requirement to categorize investments within the fair value hierarchy if their fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient in the FASB’s fair value measurement guidance. We reviewed this authoritative guidance and have elected to early adopt as of the fourth quarter of 2015. We have applied the requirements of this guidance retroactively to all periods presented. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, "Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory." This guidance replaces the lower of cost or market test with a lower of cost and net realizable value test, which is intended to simplify the measurement of inventories. This standard is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We early adopted this standard as of the fourth quarter of 2015 and plan to apply the requirements of this guidance prospectively. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our financial statements. |

Impairment and Restructuring Charges | Impairment, Restructuring and Other Charges Total impairment, restructuring and other charges for the six months ended December 31, 2015 and the six months ended June 30, 2015, as well as for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were as follows (in thousands): Successor Company Predecessor Company Six Months Ended December 31, Six Months Ended June 30, Year Ended December 31, 2015 2015 2014 2013 Brazil $ 23,968 $ 28,072 $ 42,271 $ 24,515 Corporate 8,340 8,720 63,393 97,063 Total impairment, restructuring and other charges $ 32,308 $ 36,792 $ 105,664 $ 121,578 Asset Impairments. During the fourth quarter of 2015, we reviewed our Nextel Brazil segment for potential impairment using a probability-weighted cash flow analysis. Our estimation of undiscounted future cash flows was partially based on assumptions that we will be able to fund our business plan and that it is not probable that our Nextel Brazil segment will be disposed of. Based on our current estimated undiscounted future cash flows, we determined that the carrying value of our Nextel Brazil segment is recoverable. During the six months ended December 31, 2015 and the six months ended June 30, 2015, we recognized $12.6 million and $31.1 million in non-cash asset impairment charges, the majority of which related to the shutdown or abandonment of transmitter and receiver sites that are no longer required, retail store closures related to the realignment of distribution channels and the discontinuation of certain information technology projects in Brazil and at the corporate level. In 2014, we evaluated strategic options for the next generation of our push-to-talk services and determined that, for one of these options, further development was no longer probable. As a result, we recognized a $42.8 million asset impairment charge which was recognized at the corporate level. We also recognized a $6.4 million asset impairment charge at the corporate level related to the sale of our corporate aircraft in 2014. During 2014, Nextel Brazil recognized $21.9 million in asset impairment charges, the majority of which related to the shutdown or abandonment of transmitter and receiver sites and retail store closures related to the realignment of its distribution channels. In 2013, we discontinued the use of software previously developed to support our customer relationship management systems. As a result of this evaluation, we recognized an asset impairment charge of $76.3 million at the corporate level. We also recognized a $5.9 million asset impairment at the corporate level in 2013 related to the discontinuation of the development of certain network features. Restructuring and Other Charges. During the six months ended December 31, 2015, Nextel Brazil recognized $8.4 million in restructuring charges related to future lease costs for certain transmitter and receiver sites that are no longer necessary in our business plan. In addition, during the six months ended December 31, 2015, we recognized $9.9 million in severance and other related costs in Brazil and at the corporate level as a result of the separation of employees. These actions included the termination of: • approximately 45 employees at the corporate level, all of whom were notified in the fourth quarter of 2015 of their severance date; and • approximately 700 employees in Brazil, all of whom were severed in the second half of 2015. We also recognized $5.4 million in severance and other related costs at the corporate level during the six months ended June 30, 2015 related to the separation of approximately 30 employees. During 2014, we recognized $27.7 million in severance and related costs as a result of the termination of employees at the corporate level and in Brazil. These actions included the separation of: • approximately 85 employees at the corporate level, all of whom were severed in the second quarter of 2014; and • approximately 800 employees in Brazil, all of whom were severed in the third quarter of 2014. We terminated these employees in an effort to streamline our organizational structure and reduce general and administrative expenses. In 2009, we outsourced our network operations to a third party. During 2013, we restructured and amended this agreement, reduced the scope of the services provided, added terms to facilitate the transition of those services to us and established the terms on which further transitions of services and the termination of the arrangements could be implemented in each of our markets. Under the outsourcing agreements in effect prior to this restructuring, we classified a portion of the base contractual fees as a prepayment and were recognizing this prepayment over the life of the previous agreement. As a result of this restructuring, we recognized a non-cash charge of $23.8 million relating to the write-off of the remainder of the prepayment during 2013. In 2014, we settled certain refund claims related to this outsourcing agreement, which resulted in a restructuring benefit of $3.2 million . During 2014, we recognized a $4.5 million charge related to the cessation of our utilization of certain network services in Brazil. In 2013, we recognized $8.0 million in restructuring charges, the majority of which was related to the separation of approximately 50 employees at the corporate level, in connection with an organizational realignment plan that we designed to simplify the roles and responsibilities of both our headquarters and market organizations and to reduce general and administrative expenses. During 2013, we recognized $6.8 million in contract termination costs incurred in connection with the sublease of certain excess space located in one of our corporate office buildings. As of December 31, 2015, we had $3.2 million in unrecognized restructuring costs related to future service by employees that have been notified of their severance dates. In addition, as of December 31, 2015, the total of our accrued restructuring charges that we expect to pay in 2016 and 2017 was as follows (in thousands): Balance, January 1, 2015 — Predecessor Company $ 7,572 Restructuring and other charges 5,719 Cash payments (8,457 ) Balance, June 30, 2015 — Predecessor Company $ 4,834 Restructuring and other charges 19,679 Cash payments (7,654 ) Balance, December 31, 2015 — Successor Company $ 16,859 |

Discontinued Operations | Discontinued Operations Sale of Nextel Argentina. On September 11, 2015, NII Mercosur Telecom, S.L.U. and NII Mercosur Moviles, S.L.U., both of which are indirect subsidiaries of NII Holdings, entered into a binding agreement with Grupo Clarin relating to the sale of all of the outstanding equity interests of Nextel Communications Argentina, S.R.L., or Nextel Argentina. This agreement provided for aggregate cash consideration of $178.0 million , of which $159.0 million was paid at signing in connection with the transfer of a 49% equity interest in Nextel Argentina and the grant of a call option that allowed Grupo Clarin or any of its affiliates to acquire the remaining 51% equity interest in Nextel Argentina upon receipt of required approvals from the regulatory authorities in Argentina. We received the remaining cash consideration in October 2015, including $6.0 million deposited in escrow to satisfy potential indemnification claims. On January 27, 2016, the agreement was amended to permit Grupo Clarin or any of its affiliates to exercise the right to acquire the remaining 51% equity interest prior to receiving regulatory approval, and Grupo Clarin and its affiliate immediately acquired the remaining 51% of Nextel Argentina for no additional proceeds. Sale of Nextel Mexico. On April 30, 2015, we, together with our wholly-owned subsidiary NIU Holdings LLC, completed the sale of our Mexican operations to New Cingular Wireless, an indirect subsidiary of AT&T. The transaction was structured as a sale of all of the outstanding stock of the parent company of Comunicaciones Nextel de Mexico, S.A. de C.V., or Nextel Mexico, for a purchase price of $1.875 billion , including $187.5 million deposited in escrow to satisfy potential indemnification claims. The net proceeds from this sale were $1.448 billion after deducting Nextel Mexico's outstanding indebtedness and applying other specified purchase price adjustments. The amount held in escrow is available for the indemnification of defined claims through April 2017. As of December 31, 2015, we had received notification for one indemnification claim in the amount of $6.5 million , and we intend to vigorously contest this claim. Sale of Nextel Chile. In August 2014, our wholly-owned subsidiaries NII Mercosur Telecom, S.L., NII Mercosur Moviles, S.L. and NII International Telecom S.C.A. completed the sale of all of the outstanding equity interests of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Nextel Chile S.A., or Nextel Chile, to Fucata, S.A., a venture comprised of Grupo Veintitres and Optimum Advisors, for a de minimus amount. Sale of Nextel Peru. In August 2013, our wholly-owned subsidiaries NII Mercosur Telecom, S.L. and NII Mercosur Moviles, S.L., completed the sale of all of the outstanding equity interests of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Nextel del Peru, S.A., or Nextel Peru, to Empresa Nacional de Telecomunicaciones S.A. and one of its subsidiaries, Entel Inversiones, S.A., which we refer to collectively as Entel. Entel has provided notice of potential claims for amounts greater than the $34.4 million that remained in escrow as of December 31, 2015 to satisfy these claims. We believe that the requirements for payment of certain indemnification claims have not been met at this time, and we intend to vigorously contest those claims. As of December 31, 2015, we accrued an immaterial amount related to the potential settlement of certain claims. The time period for additional claims against the amount held in escrow lapsed in February 2015. In connection with the sales of Nextel Argentina, Nextel Mexico, Nextel Chile and Nextel Peru, we have reported the results of these operating companies as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, we reclassified Nextel Argentina's, Nextel Mexico's, Nextel Chile's and Nextel Peru's results of operations for all periods presented to reflect these former operating companies as discontinued operations. Unless otherwise noted, amounts included in these notes to our consolidated financial statements exclude amounts attributable to discontinued operations. The major components of income (loss) from discontinued operations related to Nextel Argentina, Nextel Mexico, Nextel Chile and Nextel Peru were as follows (in thousands): Successor Company Predecessor Company Six Months Ended December 31, Six Months Ended June 30, Year Ended December 31, 2015 2015 2014 2013 Operating revenues $ 75,450 $ 599,038 $ 1,878,362 $ 2,774,505 Operating expenses (60,863 ) (675,245 ) (2,423,218 ) (2,950,596 ) Other income (expense), net 1,159 (49,974 ) (148,641 ) (114,299 ) Income (loss) before income tax provision 15,746 (126,181 ) (693,497 ) (290,390 ) Income tax provision (4,770 ) (8,065 ) (69,115 ) (155,936 ) 10,976 (134,246 ) (762,612 ) (446,326 ) Income (loss) on disposal of Nextel Argentina, Nextel Mexico, Nextel Chile and Nextel Peru 632 355,360 29,585 (2,848 ) Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes $ 11,608 $ 221,114 $ (733,027 ) $ (449,174 ) The components of assets and liabilities related to discontinued operations as of December 31, 2014, all of which related to Nextel Argentina and Nextel Mexico, consisted of the following (in thousands): ASSETS Current assets Cash and cash equivalents $ 239,407 Short-term investments 43,548 Accounts receivable, less allowance for doubtful accounts of $24,266 142,545 Handset and accessory inventory 141,748 Prepaid expenses and other, net 130,731 Total current assets 697,979 Property, plant and equipment, net 1,080,228 Intangible assets, net 133,971 Other assets, net 83,344 Total assets $ 1,995,522 LIABILITIES Accounts payable $ 147,162 Accrued expenses and other 219,369 Deferred revenues 60,176 Current portion of long-term debt 60,143 Long-term debt 526,980 Deferred income taxes and other long-term liabilities 97,928 Total liabilities $ 1,111,758 |

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, we had the following non-cash investing and financing activities: • $2,067.7 million in Successor Company common stock that we issued in partial satisfaction of certain claims that were settled in connection with our emergence from Chapter 11 (see Note 2 for more information); and • $187.5 million in restricted cash that we received, which represents cash placed in escrow to secure our indemnification obligations in connection with the sale of Nextel Mexico. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, we had $170.9 million and $34.8 million , respectively, in non-cash financing activities, primarily related to the short-term financing of imported handsets and infrastructure in Brazil and co-location capital lease obligations on our communication towers in Brazil. |

Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Debt | Debt As a result of the implementation of fresh start accounting in connection with our emergence from Chapter 11, we remeasured the components of our debt to their fair values as of June 30, 2015. As a result, the carrying values of our bank loans do not represent the outstanding principal balances. See Note 2 for more information. The components of our debt are as follows: Successor Company Predecessor Company December 31, 2015 2014 (in thousands) Brazil equipment financing $ 339,850 $ 366,937 Brazil bank loans 240,396 343,915 Brazil capital lease and tower financing obligations 84,295 213,163 Other 526 1,256 Total debt 665,067 925,271 Less: current portion (582,420 ) (717,427 ) $ 82,647 $ 207,844 Brazil Bank Loans. In December 2011, Nextel Brazil borrowed the equivalent of $341.2 million from a Brazilian bank and utilized the proceeds of this borrowing to repay a portion of the unpaid purchase price relating to the spectrum it acquired in June 2011. Because this loan is denominated in Brazilian reais, the payments for principal and interest will fluctuate in U.S. dollars based on changes in the exchange rate of the Brazilian real relative to the U.S. dollar. In October 2012, Nextel Brazil entered into an additional Brazilian real-denominated bank loan agreement, under which Nextel Brazil borrowed the equivalent of approximately $196.9 million . As of the December 31, 2014 measurement date, we were not in compliance with the net debt financial covenant included in each of Nextel Brazil's outstanding local bank loans. As a result, we classified these bank loans as current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014. In February 2015, Nextel Brazil and the lenders providing the local bank loans entered into standstill agreements under which the lenders agreed that they would not seek remedies under the provisions of the agreements related to Nextel Brazil's failure to satisfy the financial covenants in the loan agreements in the period before September 15, 2015 and that further principal repayment obligations due between the signing date and September 15, 2015 would be suspended. In addition, the standstill agreements formally committed the lenders to sign further amendments to the terms of the local bank loans. Among other things, the amendments revised the financial covenants and principal repayment schedule for the loans, granted the lenders a security interest over amounts held in certain collection accounts maintained with each lender and increased the interest margin on the loans from approximately 115% of the local Brazilian borrowing rate to approximately 140% of this local rate. Certain of these amendments were implemented in connection with the standstill agreements and the remainder became effective in connection with our emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings. Subsequent to the amendments, both of these loan agreements have floating interest rates equal to 139.54% of the local Brazilian borrowing rate ( 19.74% as of December 31, 2015), have monthly repayment terms beginning in June 2016 and a final maturity of October 2019. The amendments provided for a "covenant holiday" through December 31, 2015, during which time we were not required to comply with the financial covenants outlined in Nextel Brazil's local bank loan agreements. Going forward, Nextel Brazil must maintain a net debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, ratio over the trailing 12 months of no greater than 4.0 as of June 30, 2016, 3.5 as of December 31, 2016 and 2.5 as of June 30, 2017 and on each six-month anniversary thereafter. In connection with our emergence from Chapter 11, we made a number of changes within our senior management team and modified our business plan to reflect our available cash resources and the impact of the current and expected economic and competitive conditions in Brazil on both our subscriber growth and revenues, and to align our costs with this revised outlook. Based on our current business plan, we believe that it is unlikely that we will satisfy the applicable financial covenant included in both of Nextel Brazil's local bank loan agreements at the June 30, 2016 measurement date. If we are unable to develop or implement changes to our business that allow us to meet this covenant, we will need to refinance or negotiate amendments to these financing arrangements or secure waivers from the lenders in order to avoid a potential default under the loan agreements. If a default occurs, the lenders could require us to repay the amounts outstanding under these arrangements. As a result of this uncertainty, we have continued to classify the amounts outstanding under Nextel Brazil's local bank loans as current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015. As of December 31, 2015, we had $233.8 million principal amount outstanding under Nextel Brazil's local bank loans. Brazil Equipment Financing Facility. In April 2012, Nextel Brazil entered into a U.S. dollar-denominated loan agreement with the China Development Bank, under which Nextel Brazil was able to borrow up to $500.0 million to finance infrastructure equipment and certain other costs related to the deployment of its WCDMA network. A portion of this financing has a floating interest rate based on LIBOR plus 2.90% ( 3.75% and 3.16% as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively), and the remainder of this financing has a floating interest rate based on LIBOR plus 1.80% ( 2.65% and 2.06% as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively). This financing is guaranteed by NII Holdings and may limit our ability to pay dividends and other upstream payments. Loans under this agreement have a three-year borrowing period, a seven-year repayment term that began in August 2015 and a final maturity of June 2022. Assets purchased using the amounts borrowed under Nextel Brazil's equipment financing facility are pledged as collateral. In December 2014, Nextel Brazil and the lender under the equipment financing facility agreed to amend this facility to remove all financial covenants beginning with the December 31, 2014 measurement date through the June 30, 2017 measurement date so that the first measurement date under the amended facility will be December 31, 2017. In exchange for that covenant relief, Nextel Brazil granted the lender preferential rights to the amounts held in certain bank accounts. Because of the uncertainty regarding our ability to meet the financial covenant contained in Nextel Brazil's local bank loans discussed above and certain cross-default provisions that are included in the loan agreement under Nextel Brazil's equipment financing facility, we have continued to classify the amount outstanding under this facility as a current liability in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015. As of December 31, 2015, we had $342.5 million in principal amount outstanding under Nextel Brazil's equipment financing facility. We do not have the ability to borrow additional amounts under this equipment financing facility. Capital Leases and Tower Financing Obligations. 2013 Tower Transactions. In December 2013, Nextel Brazil sold 1,940 communication towers to American Tower for proceeds based on foreign currency exchange rates at the time of $348.0 million , subject to purchase price adjustments and guaranteed by NIIT, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of NII Holdings. Nextel Brazil also sold 103 towers for proceeds of $18.6 million in June 2014, subject to purchase price adjustments and guaranteed by NIIT. In October 2014, upon the finalization of the purchase price adjustments, Nextel Brazil completed the sale of all of these towers and began accounting for this transaction as a sale-leaseback. As a result, Nextel Brazil recognized an immaterial loss on the sale of the towers as a component of operating income in the fourth quarter of 2014. Site-Related Capital Lease Obligations. We have entered into various agreements under which we are entitled to lease space on towers or other structures owned by third parties and to install our transmitter and receiver equipment in that space. Tower Financing Obligations. From 2002 to 2008, we sold and subsequently leased back space on certain transmitter and receiver sites in Brazil. Due to our continuing involvement with these properties, we account for these transactions as financing arrangements. As a result, we did not recognize any gains from the sales of these towers under these arrangements, and we maintain the tower assets on our consolidated balance sheets. In addition, we recognized the proceeds received as financing obligations. We recognize ground rent payments as operating expenses in cost of service and tower base rent payments as interest expense and a reduction in the financing obligation using the effective interest method. In addition, we recognize co-location rent payments made by the third party lessees to the owner of the site as other operating revenues because of our continuing involvement with the tower assets. During the six months ended December 31, 2015 and the six months ended June 30, 2015, we recognized $3.6 million and $7.8 million in other operating revenues, respectively, related to these co-location lease arrangements. In addition, during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 , we recognized $19.8 million and $19.7 million , respectively, in other operating revenues related to these co-location lease arrangements. Corporate Aircraft Lease. In 2009, we entered into an agreement to lease a corporate aircraft, which we accounted for as a capital lease. In June 2014, we entered into an agreement to sell this corporate aircraft for $32.5 million . In addition, in conjunction with the sale, we exercised our pre-existing option to purchase this aircraft from the lessor and immediately terminated the lease. In connection with the sale of the corporate aircraft and the termination of the associated lease, we recognized a $6.4 million asset impairment charge in the second quarter of 2014. Debt Maturities. Because it is unlikely that we will be able to satisfy the applicable financial covenant in both of our local bank loans in Brazil as of the next compliance date on June 30, 2016 and because of the associated cross-default provisions included in Nextel Brazil's equipment financing facility, we classified the principal amounts outstanding under these facilities as due in 2016 for purposes of the table below. For the years subsequent to December 31, 2015 , scheduled annual maturities of all debt outstanding are as follows (in thousands): Year Principal Repayments 2016 $ 576,723 2017 3,651 2018 3,637 2019 991 2020 1,661 Thereafter 74,426 Total $ 661,089 |

Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements Nextel Argentina. On September 11, 2015, two of our indirect subsidiaries entered into a binding agreement with Grupo Clarin relating to the sale of all of the outstanding equity interests of Nextel Argentina. In connection with the initial agreement, we issued a non-recourse promissory note in the amount of $85.0 million and pledged the remaining 51% of the equity interests in Nextel Argentina to Grupo Clarin. We recorded our retained 51% interest in Nextel Argentina as an equity method investment under the fair value option, which is included as a component of other assets in our consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2015, we estimated the fair value of this investment to be $108.1 million . In addition, as of December 31, 2015, we recorded the non-recourse promissory note as a component of other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet at its estimated fair value of $108.1 million . This fair value estimate was based on the $178.0 million purchase price paid by Grupo Clarin, as adjusted for changes in excess cash from September 11, 2015 through December 31, 2015. On January 27, 2016, the agreement was amended to permit Grupo Clarin or any of its affiliates to exercise the right to acquire the remaining 51% equity interest prior to receiving regulatory approval, and Grupo Clarin and its affiliate immediately acquired the remaining 51% of Nextel Argentina for no additional proceeds. In connection with the completion of this transaction, the promissory note was canceled on January 27, 2016. Available-for-Sale Securities. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014 , available-for-sale securities held by Nextel Brazil included $56.2 million and $81.4 million , respectively, in investment funds and $9.3 million and $28.6 million , respectively, in certificates of deposit with a Brazilian bank. These funds invest primarily in Brazilian government bonds, long-term, low-risk bank certificates of deposit and Brazilian corporate debentures. During the six months ended December 31, 2015 and the six months ended June 30, 2015, as well as during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, we did not have any material unrealized gains or losses associated with these investments. We account for our available-for-sale securities at fair value. The fair value of our Brazilian certificates of deposit is based on their current redemption amount and we classify these certificates of deposit within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of Nextel Brazil's investment funds is measured based on the funds' net asset value as a practical expedient, which is excluded from the fair value hierarchy. Held-to-Maturity Investments. We periodically invest some of our cash holdings in certain securities that we intend to hold to maturity. As of December 31, 2015, held-to-maturity investments included $18.1 million in short-term investments at NIIT in U.S. treasury notes. We account for held-to-maturity securities at amortized cost, which approximates the fair value observed in the market. These securities matured in February 2016. As of December 31, 2015, the fair value of our held-to-maturity investments was $18.0 million . Debt Instruments. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our debt instruments are as follows: Successor Company Predecessor Company December 31, 2015 2014 Principal Amount Outstanding Carrying Amount Estimated Fair Value Principal Amount Outstanding Carrying Amount Estimated Fair Value (in thousands) NII Capital Corp. senior notes, net (1) $ — $ — $ — $ 2,750,000 $ 2,750,000 $ 648,500 NII International Telecom, S.C.A. senior notes, net (1) — — — 1,600,000 1,600,000 1,166,500 Brazil equipment financing 342,475 339,850 340,189 366,937 366,937 337,295 Bank loans and other 234,320 240,922 229,366 345,171 345,171 275,655 $ 576,795 $ 580,772 $ 569,555 $ 5,062,108 $ 5,062,108 $ 2,427,950 __________________________ (1) As of December 31, 2014, both our senior notes held by NII Capital Corp. and our senior notes held by NII International Telecom S.C.A. were classified as liabilities subject to compromise in our consolidated balance sheet. We estimated the fair values of our senior notes using quoted market prices. Because our fair value measurement is based on market prices in an active market, we consider this Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Bank loans and other consists primarily of loans with certain local banks in Brazil. We estimated the fair value of these bank loans, as well as the fair value of our equipment financing facility in Brazil, utilizing inputs such as U.S. Treasury security yield curves, prices of comparable bonds, LIBOR, U.S. Treasury bond rates and credit spreads on comparable publicly traded bonds. As of December 31, 2015, we no longer had publicly traded bonds whose yield in prior periods was a significant input into our fair value measurement. As a result, we now consider our bank loans and other to be Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy rather than Level 2, which was what we considered these bank loans and other in prior periods. Derivative Instruments. We occasionally enter into derivative transactions for risk management purposes. We have not and will not enter into any derivative transactions for speculative or profit generating purposes. We record all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet at their fair value. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, Nextel Brazil had an immaterial amount of derivative instruments that we classified as short-term investments in our consolidated balance sheets. We consider this measurement to be Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Nextel Brazil entered into foreign currency option agreements to manage the foreign currency exposures associated with the forecasted purchase of handsets and other U.S. dollar-denominated payments. We do not apply hedge accounting to these derivative instruments. As a result, we have included all changes in the fair value of these instruments as a component of other expense, net in our consolidated statement of comprehensive (loss) income. For the six months ended December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, Nextel Brazil recognized $5.2 million and $6.3 million in net realized gains, respectively, resulting from the changes in the estimated fair value of these derivative instruments. The gains and losses we recognized in the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were not material. In addition, for the six months ended December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, Nextel Brazil recorded an immaterial amount of unrealized losses resulting from the changes in the estimated fair value of these derivative instruments. Other Financial Instruments. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable contained in our consolidated balance sheets approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Capital and Operating Lease Commitments. We have co-location capital lease obligations on some of our transmitter and receiver sites in Brazil. See Note 7 for further information regarding these agreements. We lease various cell sites, office facilities and other assets under operating leases. Some of these leases provide for annual increases in our rent payments based on changes in locally-based consumer price indices. The remaining terms of our cell site leases range from less than one to fifteen years and are generally renewable for additional terms. The remaining terms of our office leases range from less than one to ten years. During the six months ended December 31, 2015 and the six months ended June 30, 2015, total rent expense under operating leases was $76.4 million and $93.4 million , respectively. In addition, during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 , total rent expense under operating leases was $229.7 million and $193.3 million , respectively. For years subsequent to December 31, 2015 , future minimum payments for all capital and operating lease obligations that have initial or remaining noncancelable lease terms exceeding one year, net of rental income, are as follows (in thousands): Capital Leases Operating Leases Total 2016 $ 45,410 $ 86,931 $ 132,341 2017 46,005 80,562 126,567 2018 39,500 73,099 112,599 2019 34,381 68,444 102,825 2020 34,448 64,017 98,465 Thereafter 554,347 491,101 1,045,448 Total minimum lease payments 754,091 864,154 1,618,245 Less: imputed interest (669,796 ) — (669,796 ) Total $ 84,295 $ 864,154 $ 948,449 Handset, Equipment and Other Commitments. We are a party to purchase agreements with various suppliers, under which we have committed to purchase handsets, equipment and network services that will be used or sold in the ordinary course of business. As of December 31, 2015, we are committed to purchase $536.8 million in total under these arrangements, $334.0 million of which we are committed to pay in 2016, $146.7 million of which we are committed to pay in 2017 and 2018, and the remaining $56.1 million of which we are committed to pay in 2019 and 2020. These amounts do not represent our entire anticipated purchases in the future, but represent only those items that are the subject of contractual obligations. Our commitments are generally determined based on noncancelable quantities or termination amounts. We also purchase products and services as needed with no firm commitment. Amounts actually paid under some of these agreements will likely be higher due to variable components of these agreements. The more significant variable components that determine the ultimate obligation owed include such items as hours contracted, subscribers and other factors. In addition, we are a party to various arrangements that are conditional in nature and obligate us to make payments only upon the occurrence of certain events, such as the delivery of functioning software or a product. Specifically, as of December 31, 2015, we are committed to purchase $156.4 million under a handset purchase agreement with one of our handset suppliers by the end of 2016. We do not expect that we will purchase all of the committed devices, but we have not recorded a liability for this contract because we do not believe it is probable that we will incur a loss under this handset purchase agreement. Brazil Spectrum Commitment. In December 2015, Nextel Brazil participated in a spectrum auction and was the successful bidder for 30MHz of spectrum in the 1.8 GHz band for 455.0 million Brazilian reais, or approximately $116.7 million based on foreign currency exchange rates at the time. Nextel Brazil received the license agreement on February 16, 2016 and is committed to pay 10% of the total acquisition price when this license agreement is signed. Contingencies. Nextel Brazil has received various assessment notices from state and federal Brazilian authorities asserting deficiencies in payments related primarily to value-added taxes, excise taxes on imported equipment and other non-income based taxes. Nextel Brazil has filed various administrative and legal petitions disputing these assessments. In some cases, Nextel Brazil has received favorable decisions, which are currently being appealed by the respective governmental authority. In other cases, Nextel Brazil's petitions have been denied, and Nextel Brazil is currently appealing those decisions. Nextel Brazil also had contingencies related to certain regulatory, civil and labor-related matters as of December 31, 2015 and 2014. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014 , Nextel Brazil had accrued liabilities of $57.7 million and $69.7 million , respectively, related to contingencies, all of which were classified in accrued contingencies reported as a component of other long-term liabilities, of which $5.4 million and $8.0 million related to unasserted claims, respectively. We estimated the reasonably possible losses related to matters for which Nextel Brazil has not accrued liabilities, as they are not deemed probable, to be approximately $300.0 million as of December 31, 2015 . We are continuing to evaluate the likelihood of probable and reasonably possible losses, if any, related to all known contingencies. As a result, future increases or decreases to our accrued liabilities may be necessary and will be recorded in the period when such amounts are determined to be probable and reasonably estimable. In addition, as of December 31, 2015, we estimated the reasonably possible losses related to potential indemnification claims in connection with the sales of Nextel Mexico and Nextel Peru for which we have not accrued liabilities, as they are not deemed probable, to be approximately $41.0 million . Legal Proceedings. We are subject to claims and legal actions that may arise in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe that any of these pending claims or legal actions will have a material effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. |

Capital Stock | Capital Stock Common Stock. Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted for action by the stockholders and share equally, share for share, if dividends are declared on the common stock. If our Company is partially or completely liquidated, dissolved or wound up, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, the holders of the common stock are entitled to share ratably in the net assets remaining after payment of all liquidation preferences, if any, applicable to any outstanding preferred stock. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock. Undesignated Preferred Stock. Our Board of Directors has the authority to issue undesignated preferred stock of one or more series and in connection with the creation of such series, to fix by resolution the designation, voting powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of such series, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof. As of December 31, 2015 , we had not issued any shares of undesignated preferred stock. Common Stock Reserved for Issuance. In connection with our emergence from Chapter 11, our Board of Directors adopted an incentive compensation plan, which contemplates grants of up to 5,263,158 shares of our new common stock to directors and employees of the reorganized company, including potential grants of restricted stock, restricted stock units and options to purchase shares of our new common stock. Under the 2015 Incentive Compensation Plan, we had 194,807 shares of our common stock reserved for future issuance as of December 31, 2015, which assumes that the restricted stock units outstanding as of December 31, 2015 are settled in cash. As of December 31, 2015, common stock reserved for future issuance does not include 38,093 restricted stock units that were issued to employees of Nextel Argentina in 2015 that, if settled in shares of common stock, would reduce the shares available under our 2015 Incentive Compensation Plan by 57,140 shares. Subsequent to December 31, 2015, the Board of Directors agreed to settle the restricted stock units in cash. |

If our foreign subsidiaries’ undistributed earnings are remitted to the U.S. as taxable dividends in the future, we could be subject to additional U.S. income taxes (net of allowable foreign tax credits) and foreign withholding taxes. As of December 31, 2015 , we had $1.4 billion of net operating loss carryforwards for U.S. Federal and state income tax purposes, which expire in various amounts beginning in 2027 through 2035. Due to our emergence from bankruptcy on June 26, 2015, the timing and manner in which we will utilize the net operating loss carryforwards in any year will be limited relating to changes in our ownership. The annual limitation is $40.2 million , and some of our net operating loss carryforwards will expire before use in the future due to this limitation. As of December 31, 2015 , our Brazilian subsidiaries had $947.5 million of net operating loss carryforwards that can be carried forward indefinitely, but the amount that we can utilize annually is limited to 30% of Brazilian taxable income before the net operating loss deduction. Our foreign subsidiaries' ability to utilize the foreign tax net operating losses in any single year ultimately depends upon their ability to generate sufficient taxable income. As of December 31, 2015, we had $14.4 billion of net operating loss carryforwards in our holding companies in Luxembourg that can be carried forward indefinitely. Our holding companies in Spain had $856.9 million of net operating loss carryforwards that can be carried forward 18 years, and our holding company in the Netherlands had an immaterial amount of net operating loss carryforwards that can be carried forward nine years. Given the nature of activities that are considered taxable in these jurisdictions and the activities engaged in by the holding companies, these net operating loss carryforwards will never be utilized by our holding companies and add no value to the company. The deferred tax asset valuation allowances that our subsidiaries and holding companies had as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 are as follows: Successor Company Predecessor Company 2015 2014 (in millions) Brazil $ 723.4 $ 584.1 U.S. 359.8 457.5 Luxembourg 4,216.0 3,169.2 Spain 214.2 236.3 Total $ 5,513.4 $ 4,447.1 The realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on the generation of future taxable income sufficient to realize our tax loss carryforwards and other tax deductions. Valuation allowances are required to be recognized on deferred tax assets unless it is determined that it is “more-likely-than-not” that the asset will be realized. As of December 31, 2015 , w e continued to record full valuation allowances on the deferred tax assets of our foreign operating companies, our U.S. parent company and subsidiaries and our foreign holding companies due to substantial negative evidence, including the recent history of cumulative losses and the projected losses for 2016 and subsequent years. We are subject to income taxes in both the U.S. and the non-U.S. jurisdictions in which we operate. Certain of our entities are under examination by the relevant taxing authorities for various tax years. The earliest years that remain subject to examination by jurisdiction are: U.S. - 1999; Brazil - 2010, and Luxembourg, Netherlands and Spain - 2009. We regularly assess the potential outcome of current and future examinations in each of the taxing jurisdictions when determining the adequacy of our provision for income taxes. We have only recorded financial statement benefits for tax positions which we believe reflect the “more-likely-than-not” criteria incorporated in the FASB’s authoritative guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, and we have established income tax accruals in accordance with this authoritative guidance where necessary. Once a financial statement benefit for a tax position is recorded or a tax accrual is established, we adjust it only when there is more information available or when an event occurs necessitating a change. While we believe that the amounts of the recorded financial statement benefits and tax accruals reflect the more-likely-than-not criteria, it is possible that the ultimate outcome of current or future examinations may result in a reduction to the tax benefits previously recorded on the financial statements or may exceed the current income tax reserves in amounts that could be material. Unrecognized tax benefits are classified as non-current liabilities. The following table shows a reconciliation of our beginning and ending unrecognized tax benefits for 2015, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands): Successor Company Predecessor Company Six Months Ended December 31, Six Months Ended June 30, Year Ended December 31, 2015 2015 2014 2013 Unrecognized tax benefits beginning of period $ 7,961 $ 8,336 $ 8,686 $ 35,639 Reductions for prior year tax positions (1,777 ) — — (26,519 ) Foreign currency translation adjustment (460 ) (375 ) (350 ) (434 ) Unrecognized tax benefits end of period $ 5,724 $ 7,961 $ 8,336 $ 8,686 As of December 31, 2015, we did not have any unrecognized tax benefits that could potentially affect our future effective tax rate. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the unrecognized tax benefits that could potentially reduce our future effective tax rate, if recognized, were $1.8 million and $2.1 million , respectively. We record interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as a component of our income tax benefit (provision). During the six months ended December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, as well as for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, we recognized an immaterial amount of interest and penalties as a component of our current income tax benefit (provision). We reduced our unrecognized tax benefits by $1.8 million during the six months ended December 31, 2015 due to the expiration of the statute of limitations in Brazil. In addition, we reduced our unrecognized tax benefits by $26.5 million in 2013 due to the effective resolution of a tax position in the U.S. |

Share-based Compensation, Allocation and Classification in Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Employee Stock and Benefit Plans | Employee Stock and Benefit Plans In connection with our emergence from Chapter 11, NII Holdings canceled all shares of its common stock, preferred stock and other equity interests that existed prior to June 26, 2015. Our Board of Directors subsequently adopted an incentive compensation plan, which we refer to as the 2015 Incentive Compensation Plan. The 2015 Incentive Compensation Plan provides us with the ability to award stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and cash-based incentives to our employees, directors and officers. The 2015 Incentive Compensation Plan contemplates grants of up to 5,263,158 shares of our new common stock to directors and employees of the reorganized company, including potential grants of restricted stock, restricted stock units and options to purchase shares of our new common stock. All grants or awards made under the 2015 Incentive Compensation Plan are governed by written agreements between us and the participants and have a maximum term of ten years. On the date of our emergence from Chapter 11, we made grants of 564,311 shares of restricted stock, 41,721 restricted stock units and 1,580,208 options to purchase shares of common stock. Subsequent to this date, we made grants of an additional 468,069 shares of restricted stock and 2,268,177 options to purchase shares of common stock. Stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units are also granted to certain new employees on the later of the date of hire or the date that the grant is approved. In addition, under the provisions outlined in the 2015 Incentive Compensation Plan, our chief executive officer may grant, under authority delegated to him by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors, a limited number of stock options (not to exceed 40,000 shares in the aggregate for the plan year) and restricted stock/restricted stock unit awards (not to exceed 20,000 shares in aggregate for the plan year) to employees who are not executive officers. Stock Option Awards For the six months ended December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, as well as for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 , we recognized $1.0 million , $1.5 million , $4.0 million and $9.0 million , respectively, in share-based compensation expense related to stock options. The amounts recognized in our consolidated statement of comprehensive (loss) income for tax benefits related to share-based payment arrangements in 2015, 2014 and 2013 were not material. We include substantially all share-based compensation expense as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses. As of December 31, 2015 , there was $6.4 million in unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested employee stock option awards, which includes the impact of assumed forfeitures. We expect this cost to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.6 years. The amount of cash paid for exercises under all share-based payment arrangements was immaterial for the six months ended December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, as well as for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. As a result of the Company's emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings, all prior stock option awards granted under the 2012 Incentive Compensation Plan were canceled. Our stock options generally vest thirty-three percent per year over a three -year period. The following table summarizes stock option activity under the 2015 Incentive Compensation Plan, beginning on June 26, 2015: Number of Options Weighted Average Exercise Price per Option Weighted Average Remaining Life Aggregate Intrinsic Value Granted 3,848,385 $ 12.00 Exercised — — Forfeited (220,896 ) $ 19.70 Outstanding, December 31, 2015 3,627,489 $ 11.53 8.94 — Exercisable, December 31, 2015 120 $ 20.68 0.25 — There were no options exercised during the period from June 26, 2015 to December 31, 2015. As of December 31, 2015, our vested stock options had an intrinsic value of zero. Generally, our stock options are non-transferable, except by will or laws of descent or distribution, and the actual value of the stock options that a recipient may realize, if any, will depend on the excess of the market price on the date of exercise over the exercise price. If a participant's employment is terminated without cause prior to the date options are available to be exercised, the participant shall receive stock options on a pro-rata basis based on the fraction of the performance period that has elapsed from the beginning of the performance period until the participant's termination. If the participant does not exercise the pro-rata shares within 90 days of the employee's termination, the options are considered forfeited and are available for reissuance under the terms of the 2015 Incentive Compensation Plan. The weighted average fair value of the stock option awards on their grant dates using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model was $2.98 for each option granted during the period from June 26, 2015 to December 31, 2015 , based on the following assumptions: Successor Company Period from June 26, 2015 to December 31, 2015 Risk free interest rate 1.71% - 2.05% Expected stock price volatility 31.73% - 41.92% Expected term in years 5.16 - 6.00 Expected dividend yield — The expected term of stock option awards granted represents the period that we expect our stock option awards will be outstanding and was determined based on a Monte Carlo model of stock prices and option disposition intensity. The intensity is based on models of stock price path, time dependent suboptimal voluntary exercise and post-vest termination. The risk free interest rate for the grant date of options granted is consistent with the zero-coupon U.S. Treasury rate curve. Expected volatility takes into consideration a blended historical and implied volatility of comparable companies' option contracts. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Awards For the six months ended December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, as well as for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 , we recognized $1.9 million , $2.3 million , $10.4 million and $20.0 million , respectively, in share-based compensation expense related to restricted stock and restricted stock units. The amounts recognized in our consolidated statement of comprehensive (loss) income for tax benefits related to share-based payment arrangements for the six months ended December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, as well as for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were not material. We include substantially all share-based compensation expense as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses. As a result of the Company's emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings, all prior restricted stock awards and restricted stock units granted under the 2012 Incentive Compensation Plan were canceled. As of December 31, 2015, restricted stock represented both non-vested restricted stock awards and restricted stock units. Our restricted stock awards generally vest thirty-three percent per year over a three -year period. The following table summarizes restricted stock activity under the 2015 Incentive Compensation Plan, beginning on June 26, 2015: Number of Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share Granted 1,074,101 $11.99 Vested (1,224 ) $13.88 Forfeited (75,433 ) $15.72 Restricted stock awards as of December 31, 2015 997,444 $11.71 If a participant's employment is terminated without cause prior to the vesting dates, the participant shall receive restricted stock on a pro-rata basis based on the fraction of the performance period that has elapsed from the beginning of the performance period until the participant's termination. Any unvested shares are forfeited and available for reissuance under the terms of the 2015 Incentive Compensation Plan. The fair value of our restricted stock is determined based on the quoted price of our common stock at the grant date. As of December 31, 2015 , there was $6.0 million in unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock, which includes the impact of assumed forfeitures. We expect this cost to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.5 years. For the six months ended December 31, 2015, the value of our vested restricted stock awards was immaterial. |

Basis of Presentation NII Holdings, Inc., or NII Holdings, our parent company, is a holding company that conducts substantially all of its business operations through Nextel Brazil. See Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements for more information. As specified in Nextel Brazil's local financing agreements, there are restrictions on the parent company's ability to obtain funds from certain of its subsidiaries through dividends, loans or advances. Substantially all of the consolidated net assets of NII Holdings and its subsidiaries are restricted. These condensed financial statements have been presented on a "parent company only" basis. In accordance with this parent company only presentation, we have presented our parent company's investments in consolidated subsidiaries under the equity method. These condensed parent company only financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein. 2. Dividends From Subsidiaries NII Holdings' consolidated subsidiaries did not declare any dividends to the parent company during the six months ended December 31, 2015, the six months ended June 30, 2015 or the year ended December 31, 2014. For the year ended December 31, 2013, NII Holdings' consolidated subsidiaries declared and paid $49.9 million in cash dividends to the parent company. |

Summary of Significant Accoun23
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2015 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or the U.S., requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results to be reported in future periods could differ from our estimates. |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NII Holdings and our subsidiaries. Our decision to consolidate an entity is based on our control of the entity through direct and indirect majority interest in the entity. We eliminate all significant intercompany transactions, including intercompany profits and losses, in consolidation. |
Concentrations of Risk | Concentrations of Risk. Substantially all of our revenues are generated from our operations located in Brazil. Regulatory entities in Brazil regulate the licensing, construction, acquisition, ownership and operation of our networks, and certain other aspects of our business, including some of the rates we charge our subscribers. Changes in the current telecommunications statutes or regulations in Brazil could adversely affect our business. In addition, as of December 31, 2015, 73% of our total assets were owned by Nextel Brazil. Political, financial and economic developments in Brazil could impact the recoverability of our assets. Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant amounts of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivable. Our cash and cash equivalents are deposited with high-quality financial institutions. At times, we maintain cash balances in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (or the foreign country equivalent institution) limits. Our short-term investments are composed of investments in U.S. treasury securities, investments in corporate bonds and certain investments made by Nextel Brazil. See Note 8 for further information. Our accounts receivable are generally unsecured. We routinely assess the credit worthiness of our subscribers and maintain allowances for probable losses, where necessary. |
Foreign Currency | Foreign Currency. We translate Nextel Brazil's results of operations from Brazilian reais to U.S. dollars using average exchange rates during the relevant period, while we translate assets and liabilities at the exchange rate in effect at the reporting date. We translate equity balances at historical rates. We report the resulting gains or losses from translating foreign currency financial statements as other comprehensive income or loss. In general, monetary assets and liabilities held by Nextel Brazil that are denominated in U.S. dollars give rise to realized and unrealized foreign currency transaction gains and losses, which we record in our consolidated statement of comprehensive (loss) income as foreign currency transaction losses, net. We report the effects of changes in exchange rates associated with certain U.S. dollar-denominated intercompany loans and advances to our foreign subsidiaries that are of a long-term investment nature as other comprehensive income or loss in our consolidated financial statements. We have determined that certain U.S. dollar-denominated intercompany loans and advances to Nextel Brazil are of a long-term investment nature. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents. We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents, except for certain certificates of deposit in Brazil that are redeemable on demand. We classify these certificates of deposit as short-term investments. Cash equivalents primarily consist of money market funds and other similarly structured funds. |
Short-Term Investments | Short-Term Investments. We classify investments in debt securities as available-for-sale as of the balance sheet date and report them at fair value. We record unrealized gains and losses, net of income tax, as other comprehensive income or loss. We report realized gains or losses, as determined on a specific identification basis, and other-than-temporary declines in value, if any, in net other expense in our consolidated statement of comprehensive (loss) income. We assess declines in the value of individual investments to determine whether the decline is other-than-temporary and thus the investment is impaired. We make these assessments by considering available evidence, including changes in general market conditions, specific industry and individual company data, the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the individual company and our intent and ability to hold the investment. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, we had $ 9.3 million and $ 28.6 million , respectively, in time deposits. See Note 8 for additional information. |
Handset and Accessory Inventory | Handset and Accessory Inventory. We record handsets and accessories at the lower of cost or their net realizable value. We determine cost by the weighted average costing method. We expense handset costs at the time of sale and classify such costs in cost of handsets and accessories. Inventory cost includes amounts associated with non-income based taxes. We analyze the net realizable value of handset and accessory inventory on a periodic basis. This analysis includes an assessment of the obsolescence of individual devices, our sales forecasts and other factors. For the six months ended December 31, 2015, we recorded losses related to inventory obsolescence of $2.2 million . In addition, for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, we recorded losses related to inventory obsolescence of $29.3 million and $43.0 million , respectively, which includes $14.1 million in 2013 related to expected losses on firm purchase commitments. We did not record any losses related to inventory obsolescence during the six months ended June 30, 2015. |
Property, Plant and Equipment | Property, Plant and Equipment. We record property, plant and equipment, including improvements that extend useful lives or enhance functionality, at cost, while we charge maintenance and repairs to operations as incurred. We capitalize internal and external costs incurred to develop internal-use software, which consist primarily of costs related to configuration, interfaces, installation and testing. We also capitalize internal and external costs incurred to develop specified upgrades and enhancements if they result in significant additional functionalities for our existing software. We expense all costs related to evaluation of software needs, data conversion, training, maintenance and other post-implementation operating activities. We calculate depreciation using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 30 years for network equipment, communication towers and network software and 3 to 10 years for software, office equipment, furniture and fixtures, and other, which includes non-network internal use software. We include depreciation expense on our capital leases in accumulated depreciation. We amortize leasehold improvements over the shorter of the lease terms or the useful lives of the improvements. Construction in progress includes internal and external labor, materials, transmission and related equipment, engineering, site development, interest and other costs relating to the construction and development of our wireless network. We do not depreciate assets under construction until they are ready for their intended use. We capitalize interest and other costs, including labor and software upgrades, which are applicable to the construction of, and significant improvements that enhance functionality to, our network equipment. As of June 30, 2015, in connection with the implementation of fresh start accounting, we adjusted our property, plant and equipment to its estimated fair value and revised the depreciable lives. We will continue to periodically review the depreciation method, useful lives and estimated salvage value of our property, plant and equipment and revise those estimates if current estimates are significantly different from previous estimates. During the fourth quarter of 2013, we reviewed the useful lives of our communication towers and determined that the useful lives of some of these towers should be increased to 30 years compared to the 10- or 15-year useful lives over which we were previously depreciating these sites. As a result of this change in useful lives, our depreciation expense decreased by $44.4 million in 2014. |
Asset Retirement Obligations | Asset Retirement Obligations. We record an asset retirement obligation, or ARO, and an associated asset retirement cost, or ARC, when we have a legal obligation in connection with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets. Our obligations arise from certain of our leases and relate primarily to the cost of removing our communication towers and network equipment from leased sites. We recognize an ARO, and the associated ARC, in the period in which it is incurred at fair value computed using discounted cash flow techniques. The liability is then accreted over time until the obligation is settled and the ARC is depreciated over the useful life of the related assets. We make adjustments for changes to either the timing or amount of the estimated future settlement obligation in the period incurred. We recognize increases in the present value of the AROs as an additional liability and add this amount to the carrying amount of the associated ARC. We record decreases as a reduction in both the recorded liability and the carrying amount of the associated ARC. To the extent that the decrease in the recorded liability exceeds the carrying amount of the associated ARC, we record the excess as a component of operating income. As of June 30, 2015, in connection with the implementation of fresh start accounting, we adjusted our AROs to their estimated fair value. |
Derivative Financial Instruments | Derivative Financial Instruments. We occasionally enter into derivative transactions for hedging or risk management purposes. We have not and will not enter into any derivative transactions for speculative or profit generating purposes. During the six months ended December 31, 2015, the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, Nextel Brazil entered into derivative transactions to manage foreign currency risk on certain forecasted transactions. See Note 8 for additional information. |
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets | Valuation of Long-Lived Assets. We review long-lived assets such as property, plant and equipment and identifiable intangible assets with definite useful lives, which include our telecommunications licenses, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the total of the expected undiscounted future cash flows of the asset or asset group is less than the carrying amount of the asset, we recognize a loss, if any, for the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the asset. |
Intangible Assets | Intangible Assets. Prior to our emergence from Chapter 11, intangible assets primarily consisted of our telecommunications licenses. We amortize our intangible assets using the straight-line method over the estimated benefit period. As a result of the implementation of fresh start accounting in connection with our emergence from Chapter 11, we recorded our intangible assets, which consisted of our telecommunications licenses, our exclusive right to use the Nextel tradename in Brazil and our customer relationships, at their estimated fair values. We calculate amortization on our licenses and our tradename using the straight-line method based on an estimated useful life of 26 years. We calculate amortization on our customer relationships using the straight-line method based on an estimated useful life of 4 years. In Brazil, licenses are customarily issued conditionally for specified periods of time ranging from 10 to 40 years, including renewals. In addition, the wireless telecommunications industry is experiencing significant technological change, and the commercial life of any particular technology is difficult to predict. In light of these uncertainties, we classify our licenses as definite lived intangible assets. In connection with the implementation of fresh start accounting, we revised the remaining estimated useful lives of our licenses to include renewal periods in cases where it is probable that a renewal will occur. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition. Operating revenues primarily consist of wireless service revenues and revenues generated from the sale of handsets and accessories. We present our operating revenues net of value-added taxes, but we include certain revenue-based taxes that are our primary obligation. Service revenues primarily consist of fixed monthly access charges. Other components of service revenue include revenues from calling party pays programs, where applicable, variable charges for airtime usage in excess of plan minutes, long-distance charges, international roaming revenues derived from calls placed by our subscribers on other carriers’ networks and revenues generated from broadband data services we provide on our WCDMA network, net of credits and adjustments for service discounts and value-added taxes. We recognize excess usage, local, long distance and calling party pays revenue at contractual rates per minute as minutes are used. We record cash received in excess of revenues earned as deferred revenues. We recognize service revenue as service is provided. We recognize handset revenue when title and risk of loss passes to the customer. Other revenues primarily include amounts generated from our handset maintenance programs, roaming revenues generated from other companies’ subscribers that roam on our networks and co-location rental revenues from third party tenants that rent space on our towers. We recognize revenue generated from our handset maintenance programs on a monthly basis at fixed amounts over the service period. We recognize roaming revenues at contractual rates per minute as minutes are used. We recognize co-location revenues from third party tenants on a monthly basis based on the terms set by the underlying agreements. |
Revenue-Based Taxes | Revenue-Based Taxes. We record revenue-based taxes and other excise taxes on a gross basis as a component of both service and other revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated financial statements. For the six months ended December 31, 2015 and the six months ended June 30, 2015, we recognized $30.9 million and $39.0 million in revenue-based taxes and other excise taxes, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, we recognized $101.0 million and $127.3 million in revenue-based taxes and other excise taxes, respectively |
Accounts Receivable | Accounts Receivable. Accounts receivable represents amounts due from subscribers, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts, and includes amounts that have been billed to customers and amounts that have not yet been billed. Trade accounts receivable consists of fixed monthly charges, as well as charges for excess and roaming minutes used in arrears. |
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable sufficient to cover probable and reasonably estimated losses. We estimate this allowance based on historical experience, aging of accounts receivable and recent collections trends. While we believe that the estimates we use are reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Subscriber Related Costs | Subscriber Related Direct Costs. We recognize all costs of handset sales when title and risk of loss passes upon delivery of the handset to the subscriber. |
Advertising Costs | Advertising Costs. We expense costs related to advertising and other promotional expenditures as incurred. Advertising costs totaled $21.6 million and $28.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2015 and the six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. We recognized $88.7 million and $54.4 million in advertising costs during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 , respectively. |
Share-based Compensation | Share-Based Compensation. We measure and recognize compensation expense for all share-based compensation awards based on estimated fair values. We account for share-based awards exchanged for employee services in accordance with the authoritative guidance for stock compensation. Under that guidance, share-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award when settled in shares, and is recognized, net of estimated forfeitures, over the employee's requisite service period. Compensation expense is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award, which is generally the maximum vesting period of the award. See Note 12 for more information. |
Net (Loss) Income Per Common Share, Basic and Diluted | Net (Loss) Income Per Common Share, Basic and Diluted. Basic net (loss) income per common share is computed by dividing adjusted net (loss) income attributable to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net (loss) income per common share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could participate in our earnings, but not securities that are antidilutive, including stock options with an exercise price greater than the average market price of our common stock. Our unvested restricted stock awards, or RSAs, contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends, whether paid or unpaid. As a result, our RSAs are considered participating securities because their holders have the right to participate in earnings with common stockholders. We use the two-class method to allocate net income between common shares and other participating securities. As presented for the six months ended December 31, 2015 and the six months ended June 30, 2015, we did not include 2.2 million and 4.8 million stock options, respectively, in our calculation of diluted net (loss) income from continuing operations per common share because their effect would have been antidilutive. In addition, for the six months ended December 31, 2015, we did not include an immaterial amount of restricted common shares in our calculation of diluted net (loss) income from continuing operations per common share because their effect would have been antidilutive. As presented for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, we did not include 5.4 million or 10.8 million stock options, respectively, and 0.9 million or 2.8 million in restricted common shares, respectively, in our calculation of diluted net loss from continuing operations per common share because their effect would have been antidilutive to our net loss from continuing operations per common share for those periods. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes. We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method, under which we recognize deferred income taxes for the tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities, as well as for tax loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recoverable or settled. We recognize the effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates in income in the period that includes the enactment date. We recognize a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets unless it is determined that it is “more-likely-than-not” that the asset will be realized. |
Reclassifications | Reclassifications. We have reclassified some prior period amounts in our consolidated financial statements to conform to our current presentation. |
New Accounting Pronouncements | New Accounting Pronouncements. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. This new authoritative guidance will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective on January 1, 2018, and early application is permitted on January 1, 2017. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We are evaluating the effect that the new revenue recognition guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. We have not yet selected a transition method nor have we determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, "Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes," requiring all deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any related valuation allowance, to be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. The classification change for all deferred taxes as non-current simplifies entities’ processes as it eliminates the need to separately identify the net current and net noncurrent deferred tax asset or liability in each jurisdiction and allocate valuation allowances. We early adopted this standard in the fourth quarter of 2015 and applied the requirements retroactively to all periods presented. The adoption of this standard resulted in the reclassification of $39.1 million from current deferred tax assets and $0.2 million from noncurrent deferred tax assets to a $39.3 million reduction in noncurrent deferred tax liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014. In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-07, "Fair Value Measurement: Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent)." This guidance eliminates the requirement to categorize investments within the fair value hierarchy if their fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient in the FASB’s fair value measurement guidance. We reviewed this authoritative guidance and have elected to early adopt as of the fourth quarter of 2015. We have applied the requirements of this guidance retroactively to all periods presented. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, "Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory." This guidance replaces the lower of cost or market test with a lower of cost and net realizable value test, which is intended to simplify the measurement of inventories. This standard is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We early adopted this standard as of the fourth quarter of 2015 and plan to apply the requirements of this guidance prospectively. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our financial statements. |
