Cuban on YouTube: "A Disaster Waiting to Happen"

At the All Things D conference in Carlsbad, CA billionaire Mark Cuban did not have good things to say about Internet video and says YouTube specifically is turning into a bandwidth killer.

Cuban in an interview at the conference says Google’s YouTube is “literally subsidizing bandwidth for the whole world.” He called it “a disaster waiting to happen.”

“Mark Cuban’s a colorful guy and he’s entitled to his opinions, even if we disagree with them,” a Google spokesperson tells the WSJ.

“I think its a real disappointment to see where Internet video has come,” Cuban said during his All Things D appearance, noting the industry still doesn’t have advertising standards.
