Agreed, 10% of Internet's revenue would be exaggeration.
What I'm trying to say, I can't see youtube generating anywhere nearly
enough revenue who shift 10% (or more) of Internet. And to explain this

upon) and leveraging market position to get free capacity (which is ok, I'd
do the same, had I the leverage)
