Maybe I'm tired and still trying to wake up or something, but that article makes absolutely zero sense. First it says "Meanwhile (YouTube's) bandwidth costs, which increase every time a visitor clicks on a video, may be approaching $1 million a month--much of which goes to provider Limelight Networks., then a little later in the article they say "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" (which comes out to around $2,628/yr). WTF? Could those 2 figures be any further apart?
