                      "Industry observers estimate that YouTube, which is streaming 40 million videos and 200 terabytes of data per day, may be paying between a tenth of a cent and half a cent per minute. Neither YouTube nor Limelight would comment on their pricing."

                          I don't think they have a revenue model yet. Think I read that they're following the old Napster model: establish a name for yourself, then try to figure out a way to make money off of it.

                          I suspect it's going to be a challenge to make it profitable, particularly when they allow their videos to be streamed remotely, without even visiting the homepage. (Check out how many Myspace profiles have Youtube videos embedded in them.)

                                    I seriously doubt they're paying that much. They probably have cut a deal with Limelight for some kind of JV piece when they get acquired.

                                          That's a good question. I dunno what the answer is but I do know if Myspace and YouTube don't figure out how to make money quick we will be watching the web 2.0 bubble bust.
                                          I've trusted my sites to them for over a decade...

                                                    Pretty simple math 200 terabytes a day is about 200K gigs a day, which is 6 million gigs a month divide that by $1 million and you get 16-17 cents per gig.

                                                              I would say it depends on what they are using as their backbone, and if they are running their own shit, or on a network of some kind.

                                                              I'm guessing it's a ton of OC8/12/24's and if it's a shared thing, they are probably dropping atleast 10's of thousands a month minimum. Unless they have a sweetheart deal.

                                                              Should You Email Your Members?

So they are looking a bit stale, although just because one has more downloads/uploads than the other doesnt mean it will have long term success.

                                                                            Take Luck!

                                                                                    It is for sure a risky investment!
