Never heard about buying your competitors? You should talk to mister Bill Gates, he earned like 5$ with buying up the competition.

last week Newsweek mentioned their bandwidth bill was about $1.2mil if I remember correctly.

I'm confused here. Myspace, which controls roughly 10% of internet traffic, was just bought up for $500mil?

i think this is going to be another broadcast.com blunder like Yahoo had. YouTube is a great resource and a highly publicized site however from an interview I heard awhile ago the site brings in very little (if any) profit. The bandwidth bills are huge and the advertising prices are very slim.

hopefully google can get it turned around, but im not sure if it will ever be able to justify the purchase price of 1.6 billion.

Well, if you think about it, all of Google is based on ripping off everyone's content.

You should work for Fox News. You're basing your facts on rumors. Read this:

They are NOT buying it. They are just talking about it. Huge difference.
