(1) This includes arrangements for: (i) corporate and regional office operating leases, (ii) teleport co-location operating leases, and (iii) satellite bandwidth operating leases.
(2) This refers to the satellite bandwidth capacity arrangement assessed as a finance lease during the year ended December 31, 2019. The right-of-use asset balance as of December 31, 2019 included the unamortized lease incentive of $0.9 million and unamortized unfavorable contract liability of $6.7 million.
(3) This includes customer equipment arrangements classified as sales-type leases as of December 31, 2019. In addition, the Company elected the practical expedient which allows the use of hindsight in determining the lease term.
(4) All existing arrangements as of January 1, 2019 were not re-assessed as allowed under our ASC 842 implementation. Any new arrangements or modifications to existing contracts after January 1, 2019 adoption date are subject to lease assessment or re-assessment in accordance with ASC 842’s new accounting model.

Operating Lease, Lease Income

Total Licensing and Service Revenues -- Maritime and Land Connectivity
$

(1) This is presented as part of Revenues -- Licensing and services in our consolidated statement of operations, and includes the equipment lease component that is embedded in the overall bandwidth service arrangement. Since we adopted the practical expedient to not separate the lease and non-lease components as allowed with the ASC 842 implementation as of January 1, 2019, we will continue to classify existing embedded equipment arrangements as operating leases, to the extent unmodified.
(2) This includes the equipment lease revenues recognized at commencement date of the customer equipment arrangements classified as sales-type leases. As equipment leasing is a standard component in our connectivity business model, we present equipment revenues relating to these sales-type leases on a gross basis, and recognize a corresponding cost of sales equal to the net book value of the leased equipment. Interest income component is considered immaterial.
