Look at the subsidised phones given away for free with mobile subscriptions for an example.

It's the bottom line that counts.
To be called an 'investment' there's gotta be a guarantee or some sort of legal binding between your spending and what you expect to get out of it.

IE: when the 'free' phone is given out the customer signs a legal contract to legally bind them to pay the company a certain amount of fee for a certain period of time.
