As usual, Mark Cuban is exactly correct.  Cell phones cell 1 at a time, but they are still profitable.  On the other hand, cell phone companies are making corporate deals all of the time.  Of course your company wants to demonstrate a culture of blackberry users.  Why shouldn’t they sell companies on the idea of the culture of daily newspaper readers.  Sell a small business on bulk work delivery of 10 papers.  Or home delivery for employees to read on their commute.  I’d think it was an awesome perk.  It’s not as expensive as a gym membership or massage room.  Plus you’d have a more intelligent, informed workforce.
