"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.)

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.

Since we know they aren't paying 16c a gig I am guessing that $1mil is more like $250k. That's still a lot of cash for a hosting bill. Someone needs to show them how to setup their own network quick.

Prob a million but they are thinking long term. I am sure they will be worth 100 million in a couple years atleast. For now I bet they are lucky to break even.
Like the desert needs the rain
We do fully manged WordPress, VPS, and Servers. Adult Host Pro https://adulthostpro.com/ Since 2001
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.

200k gigs / day is 18 Gigabit monthly... at $15 / megabit (which is high for that volume) it's $270k
Actually in the short time that Youtube has been out its already outpaced google in terms of uploads and user downloads per day. 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.
I guess that the founder is simply hyping up the value of the company. Then sell it quick for many millions and let the new buyers take the loss when the bubble explodes.
