Global average Internet speed in 2005: 1 Mbit/second

Still lots of people on dialup then - "The Pew Internet Project's May
2005 survey shows that 53% of home internet users have high-speed
connections at home,"

I highly doubt in 2005, any forward thinking person could have
predicted what Youtube could be.  In other words, serendipity played a
future role, not her thinking then for buying Youtube.  High speed
internet is not 1 Mbit/second...later tech advancements were required.
