Hahaha. Shamwow the dumb a$$. More like go 90 will NEVER be profitable because it is complete crap. Of course it has been downloaded 2 million times. Thats 2 million customers that got 2 free gigs of data for downloaded the steaming pile of turd! http://www.androidheadlines.com/2016/01/go90-wont-be-profitable-in-2016-verizons-cfo.html

Netflix, I get it net movies. YouTube, I get it you post vids . Go90, what the heck does that mean.
I think one day they will offer unlimited data, even tho Shammo says they never will. If you stick around long enough, everything Shammo says will never happen, happens.
I assumed that was satire, since if anything the money was funneled the other way to finance go90, which thus far is a failed vanity project and the joke of the internets.
Here are some comments from the kids that I found under the verge youtube video entitled:
Can Go90 make Verizon cool? (or whatever millennials call it these days)
these are not my comments, this is what "the kids" our customers, have to say about go90:
"thank you Verizon for letting me witness something fail so f---ing hard while I'm alive."
"That has to be the saddest thing I've seen all week. There is zero percent chance this will ever take off at all, and the amount of money they put in to this might as well have been shot in to space. Verizon just needs to have unlimited data and nothing more. Youtube/netflix etc. already exist, it's too late, there is no possible way for this poorly named, try hard app is going to compete in any meaningful way. The fact they they cobbled in some bozo social network in it makes this even worse. I don't think I've seen something so perfectly set up for complete and utter failure before..."
"To anyone from Verizon: HOW ABOUT YOUR LOWER YOUR PRICES AND IMPROVE YOUR SERVICE! That's what people want, not another dumping ground of content and a tacked on DOA social network."
"Here's an idea: affordable plans with reliable, stable, fast 4g conection, that has unlimited data cap. I bet that would make them pretty cool with the millenials."
"Poor little guys are still trying lmao. The thing they don't know is that TRYING so overly hard is what makes it so much lamer and uncool;the fact that it's a huge corporation makes it even more cringe."

"your "crew." LOL who says that? What ever happened to 'friends'? Why do companies targeting millenials think that they speak some foreign language?"
I could go on, there are a lot more comments, but you all get the point I think.
So you have the answer....."if" its profitable.? The financial past has shown the opposite of what your post suggests. Current accounting is also built around the opposite. Please clarify.. Or is that a bait post.?
Even if it is profitable the accountants are creative. They'll probably funnel the profits into fios or some other venture so it bulks the #s there
It wont be profitable for all of 2016, but then it will be? When in 2017? I guess no other company will develop anything while we are waiting for go90 to be profitable. How dumb is this company?
Bury it beside redbox instant.
