  She got them to sign a significant multi-year $1B+ commitment - if that isn't a win, I don't know what is.

    How do you spend 1Bi in hosting costs? That's mind-blowing

      Well, first you sign a multiyear agreement. Lets call it 5 years. Now you only need to find a way to spend $200m a year on a service that purports to discard your videos pretty damn fast. How do you do that? I figure a mix of bandwidth, storage, and personal targeting ad-tech. Most folks using cloud vendors are upset at the outbound traffic cost, so that probably costs a pretty penny. Especially when CDN and caching layers are pointless.
