Leases [Abstract]  
Leases Leases We have operating and finance leases for offices, terrestrial repeaters, data centers and certain equipment. Our leases have remaining lease terms of less than 1 year to 17 years, some of which may include options to extend the leases for up to 5 years, and some of which may include options to terminate the leases within 1 year. We elected the practical expedient to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single component. Additionally, we elected the practical expedient to not recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for short-term leases, which are those leases with a term of twelve months or less at the lease commencement date.
The components of lease expense were as follows:
For the Three Months Ended September 30, For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
2021 2020 2021 2020
Operating lease cost $ 18  $ 20  $ 60  $ 61 
Finance lease cost —  —  —  1 
Sublease income (2) —  (4) (1)
Total lease cost $ 16  $ 20  $ 56  $ 61 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we ceased using certain leased locations and recorded an impairment charge of $18 to write down the carrying value of the right-of-use assets for these locations to their estimated fair values. Refer to Note 4 for additional information.
