Leases [Abstract]  
LEASES LEASES
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at the inception of the agreement. The Company considers an arrangement to be a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of the communications infrastructure or ground space underneath communications infrastructure for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company is both a lessor and a lessee.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company made no changes to the methods described in note 4 to its consolidated financial statements included in the 2024 Form 10-K. As of June 30, 2025, the Company does not have any material related party leases as either a lessor or a lessee. To the extent there are any intercompany leases, these are eliminated in consolidation.
Lessor— Historically, the Company has been able to successfully renew its applicable leases as needed to ensure continuation of its revenue. Accordingly, the Company assumes that it will have access to the communications infrastructure or ground space underlying its sites when calculating future minimum rental receipts through the end of the respective terms. Future minimum rental receipts expected under non-cancellable operating lease agreements as of June 30, 2025 were as follows:

If incentives are present in the Company’s leases, they are evaluated to determine proper treatment and, to the extent present, are recorded in Other current assets and Other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheets and amortized on a straight line basis over the corresponding lease term as a non-cash reduction to revenue. As of June 30, 2025, the remaining weighted average amortization period of the Company’s lease incentives was 9 years. As of June 30, 2025, Other current assets and Other non-current assets include $41.5 million and $353.1 million, respectively, for lease incentives.
Lessee—The Company assesses its right-of-use asset and other lease-related assets for impairment, as described in note 1 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the 2024 Form 10-K. There were no material impairments recorded related to these assets during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The Company leases certain land, buildings, equipment and office space under operating leases and land and improvements, towers, equipment and vehicles under finance leases. As of June 30, 2025, operating lease assets were included in Right-of-use asset and finance lease assets were included in Property and equipment, net in the consolidated balance sheet. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, there were no material changes in the terms and provisions of the
