    "Profit" is hard to measure. This may be good enough: Verizon Wireless FY 2011 http://www22.verizon.com/investor/app_resources/interactiveannual/2011/mda03_01.html http://www22.verizon.com/investor/app_resources/interactivea... Segment operating income margin 26.4% Segment EBITDA service margin 44.8% Verizon Wireless 1Q 2012 http://www22.verizon.com/idc/groups/public/documents/adacct/2012_q1_fs.pdf http://www22.verizon.com/idc/groups/public/documents/adacct/... Operating Income Margin 28.6% Segment EBITDA Service Margin 46.3% Interesting things I also learned from this report: - Verizon wireless is 55% Verizon, 45% Vodafone - $52 ARPU (average revenue per user per month)

      This is true, I was looking at VZ's chart: http://ycharts.com/companies/VZ/profit_margin http://ycharts.com/companies/VZ/profit_margin According to Yahoo Finance it's profit margin is 2.6% http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=VZ+Key+Statistics http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=VZ+Key+Statistics

  Profit margin != Screwing.
