It would be even more interesting if we could do the flip side of the mathematics, that is, what are the estimated costs of running a service like Crunchyroll or Netflix? What are the licensing costs? What are the overheads? The cost of running and maintaining a server farm and the network? How much labour are we talking about and what do they cost?
Revenues of US$5million a year may seem juicy... until you take a look at the margin.
