Google is not losing money. It is profitable and has been for sometime. In just the past four quarters, in fact, it reported upside surprises in terms of EPS in each quarter. It also has a war chest of billions. In 2006 it generated about $10.6 billion in revenues...all with under 11,000 full time employees. In other words, they are generating about $1 million in revenue for every full time employee. Google is a cash-generating machine Marlon.
Not sure where you get your data. I get mine from its Annual Report filed with the SEC.

Loved our wireless so much she went with another wireless provider in the new local. Clearwire. I'm told there was no comparison. Oh well, with so much money to play with.... Wonder if they'll ever actually earn real money? This stock market thing amazes me. Google's loosing money and sitll gets investors. Vonage looses money and still gets investors. We MAKE money and can't get growth funds. sigh Marlon (509) 982-2181 Equipment sales (408) 907-6910 (Vonage) Consulting services 42846865 (icq) And I run my own wisp!

So good that they were able to let loose with a reserve of an additional 4 million shares, with all shares entering the market at the high end of their anticipated offer price range. Remember, they also received $900M last year in what was the largest venture deal in the U.S. to date. That came from Intel with participation from Motorola. The details were not fully made public, but as part Motorola agreed to buy their NextNet business. We also know that Intel owns like 33% of the business. McCaw owns the same, though he retains 49% voting rights. All this combined gives Clearwire a rough market cap of $3B dollars now, which grows McCaw's personal net worth from about $2B to $3B. So, if anyone though Clearwire was already aggressively trying to access local BRS and EBS spectrum, you ain't seen nothing yet. Must be nice.
