We are committed to protecting the security and integrity of our systems, networks, databases and applications. We routinely invest to develop and implement numerous cybersecurity programs and processes, including risk management and assessment programs, security and event monitoring capabilities, detailed incident response plans, and other advanced detection, prevention and protection capabilities, including practices and tools to monitor and mitigate insider threats. We regularly assess cybersecurity risks to identify and enumerate threats to us and vulnerabilities these threats can exploit to adversely impact our business operations.

Our cybersecurity program addresses the continuously evolving and extensive attack vectors and methods through layered security controls informed by constant threat analysis. Threats include a wide variety of perpetrators aiming for political, personal or financial gain, utilizing a broad set of tactics including ransomware, advanced malware, DDoS, account takeover, phishing/SMSing, sabatoge and social engineering, among others. These risks threaten our internal systems as well as third-party systems that we use and rely upon for the delivery of services and support of our operations. Our risk mitigation techniques include least privileged access, network segmentation, deployment of enhanced detection tools across our network, systems, databases, and applications and monitoring compliance with security standards all based on a risk-based approach. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> </span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Various security standards provide guidance to telecommunications companies in order to help identify and mitigate cybersecurity risks, including the voluntary framework released by the </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">National Institute for Standards and Technology (“NIST”)</span><span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> in 2014 and updated in 2018 and 2024, in cooperation with other federal agencies and owners and operators of U.S. critical infrastructure. The NIST cybersecurity framework provides a prioritized and flexible model for organizations to identify and manage cyber risks inherent to their business. Our security infrastructure is comprised of multiple security capabilities designed with a defense-in-depth model informed by the NIST cybersecurity framework, as well as a variety of other industry standards and best practices. The risk-based approach of the NIST cybersecurity framework has enabled us to implement cybersecurity programs tailored to our particular network architectures, customer environments and institutional resources.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">As part of our cybersecurity risk management program, we participate in a variety of industry, governmental, and public-private information sharing channels. While these relationships enhance our situational awareness and provide avenues for cybersecurity information sharing, we may not receive complete or real-time information about all cybersecurity threats or vulnerabilities, including in instances where governmental entities or other external partners are unable to share data due to legal, operational, or security considerations. As a result, there may be circumstances in which our visibility into certain threat vectors is inherently limited. Our governance framework accounts for these constraints by incorporating layered monitoring, independent threat intelligence sources, and escalation protocols designed to mitigate potential lack of visibility and support timely decision-making associated with cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Our cybersecurity risk management program also attempts to assess third-party vendor, service provider, business partner and supply chain risk management issues. Our efforts aim to better understand the cybersecurity posture of our third-party vendors, service providers, business partners and suppliers by analyzing their cybersecurity risk management programs and results. Our third-party cybersecurity risk management processes include reviewing and revising our service provider and vendor management programs and the related agreements to require prompt notification of cyber incidents, outages and incidents to facilitate timely assessment, disclosure and action. Generally, our agreements require our third-party providers to abide by specific privacy, confidentiality and security processes, particularly for third-party data-processing activities. For vendors that offer software as a service solutions involving personal information, our third-party risk management program generally requires third-party attestation of their security practices such as a System and Organization Controls 2 report or ISO27001 certification. Our due diligence and selection processes also require third parties to complete a cybersecurity and data privacy questionnaire that includes questions about contractor track record. Our third-party security reviews are limited by their disclosures and specific negotiated contract terms; therefore, a risk-based approach is used in making vendor and contractual decisions based on those disclosures and the totality of the circumstances, such as whether the third party will have access to personal information or our network.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">As of the date of this report, we are not aware of any risks from cybersecurity threats that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our business strategy, results of operations and financial condition.

For assets that are sold or retired, the estimated historical cost and related accumulated depreciation is removed. Costs associated with the placement of the customer drop to the dwelling and the placement of outlets within a dwelling along with the costs associated with the deployment of new customer premise equipment necessary to provide video, Internet or voice services are capitalized.  Costs capitalized include materials, direct labor and overhead costs.  The Company capitalizes direct labor and overhead using standards developed from actual costs and applicable operational data. The Company calculates standards annually (or more frequently if circumstances dictate) for items such as the labor rates, overhead rates, and the actual amount of time required to perform a capitalizable activity.
