'gross profit' has a very specific meaning that is unintuitive. It doesn't include fixed costs or taxes. It's much better to look at profit margin, which is what they actually make. For Comcast's case, it's like 11.5%.

right, exactly - I'm ~200 times angrier at Comcast for their $22.7 billion in profits than I am at Verisign for their $100 million.
