Finally found an article on that YouTube may be burning its newfound VC Capital to the tune of $1 million a month, potentially putting them out of business in just under a year. That is, unless they find solid sources of revenue and quick.
The fact of the matter is that regardless of how you look at it, videos just mean much more bandwidth. Add the fact that most Video Hosting sites let you embed videos on your site ( effectively increasing their bandwidth, while reducing the hits to their site) and it does seem to sum up a pretty worrying situation indeed.
One way out of this may be a P2P model to ease the traffic but its going to be tricky to ensure the quality and availability of the millions of videos that users may want to watch.
Till than, it seems like the ISPs may once again be the big winners of this new age of the Web 2.0 boom.
