They're low for Google, but prohibitively high for any potential competitors. To me, this supports the argument that YouTube is a monopoly.

"Remember YouTube's $2 million-a-month bandwidth bill before the Google acquisition? While it wasn't an overnight transition, apply Google's data center expertise, and this cost drops to about $666,000 a month."
