Maffei stated that MSN revenues are greater than MSN expenses. They make money from MSN internet access! Maybe, but that statement doesn't seem to say that. I suspect that "MSN revenues" would mean all of MSN -- meaning the portal, Sidewalk, HotMail, LinkExchange, MSNBC.com and more with their advertising revenue, MoneyCentral with subscription revenue, Expedia, CarPoint, the real estate site and others with ecommerce revenue. I still suspect that only WCOM which runs the internet access business for them makes money on the service, but even if Microsoft retains a few pennies of profit, it would pale in comparison with the other revenue streams.
