Making a white label random video chat service is probably viable as a business.

I have no idea how Chatroulette can afford the bandwidth.

They're using a new feature in flash 10: p2p.

According to that interview that was posted here with the kid who runs it; he covers all costs with a few ads on the page. No idea how, but I guess that it works for him.

the video streams are all client to client, all chatroulette handles is the session initiation.
