EarthLink is still kicking. The company, once one of the largest IPS in the country after AOL, swung to a third-quarter profit, up from a loss last year.
Its prospects aren't the prettiest, though -- the company is holding on for dear life to a dwindling customer base. The total number of subscribers -- including broadband and dial-up -- decreased to 2.9 million in the third quarter from 3.9 million last year.
Still, with $485 million in cash and securities, you have to wonder how long it will be before the company gets acquired.
