I think you're right - in this case giving stock to vendors rather than paying them is not an expense but a dilution of shareholder's equity. With more shares outstanding, they would have lower earnings per share with the same revenue. The deceptiveness here is that Internut companies aren't judged by earnings per share. Actually, I don't know how they are supposed to be judged, but at any rate, the gross revenues ought to increase if they don't have expenses.
