Photobucket's bankers, Lehman Brothers, have leaked the photo service's ludicrous revenue projections. But they've been much more discreet about the cost of the venture's generous bandwidth allowance. Photobucket allows users to host photographs and videos with it, and display them elsewhere, on a user's Myspace page, for instance. Expensive, but, as a well-informed wag tells Valleywag, a little less so, since the social network's blackout of Photobucket video clips. "The good news for Photobucket is that each marginal user probably costs them money — so this probably brings them closer to breakeven!"
