this sounds like a Net Neutrality End Around to me. http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2009/10/youtube-bandwidth/ "Now if you are Google, you might even begin asking Comcast to pay up to connect its Google Tubes straight to their local cable ISP networks. That way, YouTube videos and Google search results would show up faster, letting the ISP brag that YouTube doesnt stutter on their network, a potential commercial advantage over its DSL competitors. Who pays whom is changing, Labovitz said. All sorts of negotiations are happening behind closed doors. Unfortunately, few will know the outcomes of those talks, since most of the nets architecture, let alone the financial machinations behind them, remain a secret cloaked in nondisclosure agreements."

Yourube actually doesnt pay much in bandwidth costs because google owns much of its own fiber network. http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2009/10/youtube-bandwidth/ Google is now responsible for at least 6 percent of the internets traffic, > and likely more and may not be paying an ISP at all to serve up all that > content and attached ads. > > Credit Suisse made headlines this summer when it estimated that YouTube was > binging on bandwidth, losing Google a half a billion dollars in 2009 as it > streams 75 billion videos. But a new report from Arbor Networks suggests > that Googles traffic is approaching 10 percent of the nets traffic, and > that its got so much fiber optic cable, it is simply trading traffic, with > no payment involved, with the nets largest ISPs. > Jay -- http://ryanishungry.com http://jaydedman.com http://twitter.com/jaydedman 917 371 6790 -- Powered By Outblaze
