Re: Does this company... but a company should be making money while providing a service.
its one thing for a stripper to have to give up some of her tips to the strip club for the time slot she bought. but to lose it all or have to pay out of her own pocket when the shift is done is not good business for her.
yeah, you've satisfied your customers but you have nothing to show for it except a net loss of income.
how is that good business?

| said by Harddrive:but a company should be making money while providing a service. It's quite common for start-up companies to post losses for a period until they reach a critical mass and gain economies of scale. In Clearwire's case, these losses are expected, since they are spending a lot of money to build a nationwide WiMax network.
Also, Clearwire has stated in past earnings calls that they aren't necessarily married to WiMax technology -- they are able to retrofit existing WiMax cells to LTE if desired. |

Profits from big ideas usually take a while. Take for instance Amazon. They were founded in 1994. During the dot com bust there were analyst saying they would never make a profit. Then finally in the fourth quarter of 2001 they made their first 1¢ per share profit. Now they are one of the most valuable internet companies. |
