Why Super-Fast Internet Is Coming Super Slowly

Comcast's trailing 12 month earnings per share is $3.41.

You're a ing idiot, as usual.

Earnings are not net profit.

You are the idiot.

Taxes and several other expenses are paid out of the earning. Do you think their people work for free, or are slaves?

Differentiate "net" from "gross".

Then tell me the definition for net income vs gross income and how net profit and net income are different.

In business, net income (total comprehensive income, net earnings, net profit, informally, bottom line) is an en y's income minus cost of goods sold, expenses and taxes for an accounting period.[1] It is computed as the residual of all revenues and gains over all expenses and losses for the period,[2] and has also been defined as the net increase in shareholders' equity that results from a company's operations.[3] In the context of the presentation of financial statements, the IFRS Foundation defines net income as synonymous with profit and loss.[1]

Net income is a distinct accounting concept from profit. Net income can also be calculated by adding a company's operating income to non-operating income and then subtracting off taxes.[4]

Earnings per share are calculated over Net income... iow, after tax and expenses...

And I continue to wonder why local governments just can't end the monopolies

BigInternetCorp bribes 19 states to block municipal networks.

As Google Fiber is finding, when the poles are privately rather than municipally owned, the for-profit owners of the poles won't let Google Fiber on the poles, claiming, Carterphone-style, Google is a risk to their their pole equipment. But Google uses the same contractors to run the fiber as they all do. iow, the risk is all anti-compe ive corporate bull .

are you ing re ed? Earnings per share is calculated using net income after taxes.

I don't understand how people as stupid as you exist.

Wild Cobra, get in here and answer my question, you pussy.

Btw, your new implication that the word "earnings" means something totally different by itself than it does in the context of "earings per share" is dead wrong too

http://www.investopedia.com/terms/e/earnings.asp

Earnings typically refer to after-tax net income.

Why can't you just admit you pulled the 88 cents number out of your ass and/or you have no ing idea what you're talking about

Shocking.

WC interjecting again without knowing all about the topic. Googled it, regurgitated a number and pretended he vaguely recalled it.

Has to be someone's troll.

Virginia “Broadband Deployment Act” would kill municipal broadband deployment

Bill would ban muni networks where private ISPs offer 10Mbps download speeds.

Repug s doing as paid by their BigNetwork owners.

Repugs actually a division of the corporatocracy.

If Trump has his way, he'll have us all on dial up again when he tries all but to kill net neutrality.

City-owned Huntsville Utilities has been building a fiber broadband network that should service the lion's share of the city's homes and businesses over the next few years. What's more, the network will be open access -- meaning that ISPs can come in and compete with each other over the regional infrastructure. Google Fiber has already signed up to be one of at least three ISPs taking advantage of the build, and should begin offering service there by the middle of this year.


FCC data has long noted that the open access model provides consumers with better service at lower prices, thanks to the miracle of compe ion. Obviously that's a nightmare for large ISPs used to doing the bare minimum while charging captive subscribers the absolute maximum. As such, the federal government consistently has treated open access networks like a plague, given that regulators and lawmakers are consistently terrified of upsetting some of the biggest campaign contributors in the country.

Municipal broadband isn't the devil, it's a genuine, grassroots, local reaction to market failure; one that can be avoided by ISPs doing one thing: actually delivering the kinds of services, prices and features locals have spent fifteen years clamoring for.

Gonzales, TX has gigabit municipal fiber, too.

FCC shills for the regnant broadband duopoly.

Informative thread, worth a read.
