(Including Internet TV as a business.) I've always considered them an intermediary step because bandwidth was expensive and setting up (private) Internet TV sites was difficult. But both of these things will change. The cost of having users download our videos will decrease. And setting up Internet TV sites will become easier and easier. In fact, setting up Internet TV sites is already becoming easier. For example, there's a project called Show in a Box -- http://showinabox.tv/ -- that's making setting up a WordPress-based video blogs easy. (And is getting easier as the project matures.) The cost of having users download our videos will decrease as video codec technologies get better... and thus the video files get smaller... and as networking technology gets faster and cheaper. What sites like YouTube have now is that users go there to search for videos. (Even though YouTube has a search engine ONLY for it's own videos.) But I think we'll eventually see video search engines that search the entire web, for videos, become popular with users. -- Charles Iliya Krempeaux http://changelog.ca/ I don’t see these video sharing ad hosting sites as being the future of Internet TV.

While some videos get just a $3 CPM, this higher number is a very positive indication of a advertisers willing to pay high rates surrounding quality, independently produced video.
