Youtube losing big green

Yes, it is a money pit. Youtube went to HD movies and a 320 X 240 video is about 3 megs, but a few days ago I uploaded a HQ HD 720p film that was over 500 megs in size. OK, guess what, over half of the expenses of Youtube are bandwidth. This nuTV is making Google poor.

This year Youtube will lose over 470 million dollars, that is near half a billion folks. I see in the future two alternatives. That we pay for premium content, or that Google shuts down this money losing operation.
