Revenue | Revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer, and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue. The following is a description of principal activities – separated by reportable segments – from which the Company generates its revenue. For more detailed information about reportable segments, see Note 15. Cloud Telecommunications Segment Products and services may be sold separately or in bundled packages. The typical length of a contract for service is thirty-six to sixty months. Customers are billed for these services on a monthly basis. For bundled packages, the Company accounts for individual products and services separately if they are distinct – i.e. if a product or service is separately identifiable from other items in the bundled package and if a customer can benefit from it on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer. The consideration (including any discounts) is allocated between separate products and services in a bundle based on their relative stand-alone selling prices. The stand-alone selling prices are determined based on the prices at which the Company separately sells the desktop devices and telecommunication services. For items that are not sold separately (e.g. additional features) the Company estimates stand-alone selling prices using the adjusted market assessment approach. When we provide a free trial period, we do not begin to recognize recurring revenue until the trial period has ended and the customer has been billed for the services. Desktop Devices – Equipment Financing Revenue – Cloud Telecommunications Services – Fees, Commissions, and Other, Recognized over Time – ● Contracted activation and flash fees – The Company generally allocates a portion of the activation fees to the desktop devices, which is recognized at the time of the installation or customer acceptance, and a portion to the service, which is recognized over the contract term using the straight-line method. ● Non-contracted carrier cost recovery fee – This fee recovers the various costs and expenses that the Company incurs in connection with complying with legal, regulatory, and other requirements, including without limitation federal, state, and local reporting and filing requirements. This fee is assessed as a set percentage of our monthly billing and is recognized monthly. ● Non-contracted administrative fees – Administrative fees are recognized as revenue on a monthly basis. One-Time Fees, Commissions, and Other – ● Contracted professional service revenue – Professional service revenue includes professional installation services, custom integration, and other professional services. The Company typically bills and collects professional service revenue upon entering into a contract with a customer. Professional service revenue is recognized as revenue when the performance obligations are completed. ● Non-contracted cancellation fees – These cancellation fees relate to remaining contractual term buyout payments in connection with early cancellation and are billed and recognized as revenue upon receipt. ● Other non-contracted fees – These fees include disconnect fees, shipping fees, restocking fees, and porting fees. Other non-contracted fees are recognized as revenue upon receipt of payment.
