You mean I can’t upload everything for free?

Via valleywag comes word that YouTube might actually have to dive into IPO waters thanks to a $1 million dollar a month bandwidth habit. Who saw that coming. Me. And valleywag of course, the peeps who track this stuff way betterer than I do. Did YouTube really think they could give bandwidth away forever?

The IPO move might be straight outta 1999, but the new hot model of FREE! (and oh, by the way, we didn’t really mean free six months later) is the new black. (Cough, ahem, Net Zero anyone?)

Which model collapses first, YouTube or MySpace? William Shatner’s hoping for the former.
