Another person was saying they are monopolies that need to be broken up.
I know NOTHING of whom decides that and what the process is.
And how a company is broken down.
Thats true.. but the competitor to Youtube (In several ways) is LiveLeak. Liveleak has been around -longer- than Youtube but Youtube figured out a way to improve their playback. Then the improvements kept rolling on from there.
If you wanted to start a youtube competitor it would have to have everything. The speed, the options, the oppportunities, etc. Even that addictive appearance that Google and Youtube have worked so hard to invent.
