How Much to Clone YouTube

Following the first Vietnamese YouTube clone, others would be launched soon. How about the cost, based on my initial estimate* for the site of 1/10th of size of YouTube (as in February 2007) the workout is as follows:
    Grid-computing costs for 1 year = $4,000.00
    Storage costs for 1 year = $15,000.00
    Bandwidth costs for 1 year = $40,000.00
    Development cost = $30,000.00
    Maintenance cost = $12,000.00
    Editorial team = $25,000.00
    Grand Total = $126,000.00
It is minimum cost for year one, so what is your revenue model? When and how you clone exit?
* Estimate used Vormiteer calculation (built with Rails).
* YouTube bandwidth costs could reach $1 million a month according to Forbes
