Re: AVG off 11.4 GB/month shows caps not out of line said by ZappaF :
Well, with profit margins on Internet services at 80 percent and rising
Care to back up that estimate of profit margin? SEC filed financial statements come NOWHERE NEAR that number. |

It is estimated that Cablevision enjoys “80 percent margins for wired high-speed Internet services.” See Jeff Baumgartner, “Does Cable Really Need Wireless?” Cable Digital News, Dec. 5, 2008. |

"Moffett believes Cablevision can pay for the buildout through the subscribers gained or retained for its wired broadband service. At an ARPU (average revenue per user) of $35 per month and 80 percent margins for wired high-speed Internet services."
You don't see numbers like this, b/c most companies don't publish sub-segment data like this in their 10-Ks. They'll show "wireline", and "wireless", or if they have specific information for "data", it never discusses costs, only revenues. |
