That's 8-9k a day or at least 665 of their most expensive premium accounts each day, just to break even. Almost 1500 if they burn half of what's YouTube is burning. And I didn't even include the share Paypal is taking, their hardware costs, ...

Of course those numbers are only a wild guess, but you get the idea.
YouTube pays $330-400k/m bandwidth. Read it this morning in the paper
