| Segment Reporting |
11.Segment Reporting Operating segments are components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker(s) of an enterprise. Operating income is the primary measure used by our chief operating decision maker to evaluate segment operating performance. We currently operate two primary business segments: (1) Pay-TV; and (2) Wireless. See Note 1 for further information. All other and eliminations primarily include intersegment eliminations related to intercompany debt and the related interest income and interest expense, which are eliminated in consolidation. The total assets, revenue and operating income, and purchases of property and equipment (including capitalized interest related to FCC authorizations) by segment were as follows: | | | | | | | | | | As of | | | | June 30, | | December 31, | | | | 2023 | | 2022 | | | | | (In thousands) | | Total assets: | | | | | | | | Pay-TV | | $ | 47,843,359 | | $ | 46,295,495 | | Wireless (1) | | | 48,434,467 | | | 46,261,004 | | Eliminations (1) | | | (42,588,885) | | | (39,949,937) | | Total assets | | $ | 53,688,941 | | $ | 52,606,562 | | | | | | | | | |
