if youtube can handle such a stupefying amount of traffic and bandwidth, howcum (insert favorite mmog here) can't? huh? huh?. bah.

Because MMOG's get a monthly fee. They only need to provide what is necessary to keep players from quiting.

Youtube's success depends on constant solid access 24/7.

And 150 gig/hr bandwidth is roughly 41.6 megs per second. Not exactly hard to acheive...
