There was talk that YouTube would seriously consider selling if the price tag is above... *let me get my water* Hmm hmm... $1.5 Billion.

So far YouTube has developed the eyeballs, the traffic, the content (serving 100 million videos per day, with 65,000 or so new videos uploaded daily), but it has not produced profit, and looks like it won't anytime soon. It does pull in some revenue numbers (below $100 Million/year), but nowhere near to be asking for so much. In fact, the costs for maintaining are rising every month to. The last I heard their bandwidth bill was somewhere in the vicinity of $200K-300K monthly.

Do you think YouTube's board is getting greedy, or do you think the $1.5 Billion is justifiable?

Best,
