40% is a valid EBITDA margin for telcos. Twilio is indeed slightly negative in terms of adjusted EBITDA (around -5%) but market cap of tech companies is usually rather based on NTM EBITDA or industry average EBITDA - see prospectus of IPOs

Uh what? I didn't state that 40% wasn't valid. I simply stated that gross margin != EBITDA.
