stupid question.

how much does the high-speed connection cost in USA? i mean something in 
Gbits/s range which is about how much google or youtube needs.

of course cheaper than in Poland, possibly worlds cheapest, but still 
expensive.

what i mean: doing things the way preventing any caching (or just 
downloading file and then playing many times) costs lots of 
bandwidth==money, but do not give (in theory) gives money.

i'm sure that youtube or google owners are not idiots, so the question is 
- how this practice is making money for them - more than lost for 
bandwidth?
