En Compétition (In Competition)

Looks like the popularity of YouTube has sparked foreign competitors; PCWorld published an article today about Dailymotion, the French YouTube rival that has landed $34 million in funding since its launch this past June.

This announcement is on the heels of a recent study (also published in PCWorld) warning that network capacity may not be able to keep in sync with increasing demands for bandwidth – citing the demands on YouTube, wireless devices and email volume. Maybe some of those Francs will be devoted to strengthening the internet pipeline…

Just a few things to ponder over your three-day weekend, check back with us on Tuesday – even Yogis need a break sometimes.
