Like Youtube you can loose another million today – oh well
Some facts:

- one thousand gigabytes of data is transmitted by YouTube per second
- OR three hundred billion gigabytes on a monthly basis
- Estimations are that in 2007 the amount of bandwidth spent by YouTube was the equivalent of what the entire World Wide Web utilised in the year 2000.

- each single day the company spends close to one million dollars on bandwidth alone
- YouTube costs approximately three per cent of the operating costs of Google
- Estimates are these costs are US$300-500 million for last year, 2007.
- ten to twenty per cent of the videos on YouTube are of professional quality while the rest are made by amateurs

Youtube have to show a lot of banner ads to make that cash back, and who wants to have their ad next to a video of sex or something worse:
