O constatare si o intrebare

Ambele sunt legate de suma – dupa unele surse peste 500 milioane USD, dupa altele peste 700 milioane USD – platita de Al Jazeera pe Current Tv, businessul de TV cu o audienta mai mica decat a B1TV (exemplu aleator) al lui Al Gore:

2. Analizand aceasta achizitie comparativ cu tranzactia Google – YouTube, nu vi se pare ca cei 1.65 miliarde USD platiti de Google sunt „peanuts”? Care ar fi astazi valoarea YouTube?
