Helio, like all MVNOs have high capital investment costs and once these costs have been amortizied you will see Helio in the green before the end of 2009. Remember Helio has a net margin per line around $55 which is what the other carriers make in total revenue.

Helio has not yet achieved profitability, nor were they expected to. Look for Helio to make moves toward profitability in late '08 or '09. As for Buddy Beacon, it's a smart move to sell it off to a third-party. That way, other carriers can offer the service and it becomes more valuable for all. “Back” into the green?
