profits = revenue - expenses

So, the revenue from their subscriptions/AIM customers is not merely the only thing which is profitable for them, but the other lines of business are all run at a loss.

Fictional example:

Line Revenue - Expenses = Profit dialup 1000 - 100 = 900 everything else 200 - 500 = (-300) Totals: 1200 - 600 = 600
