I’ve seen a demo of YouTube HD streaming and it’s very impressive, you can even stream privately and for extra security embed the stream behind a login firewall.
The big news here is what the other streaming players do next to compete. Currently LiveStream are charging approx £400 for 3000 hours of private live streaming and 5000 hours will cost you £750 with Ustream.
I’ve no insider knowledge but its possible YouTube may charge when their service is fully rolled out. It's a massive commitment and will take considerable server and bandwidth to keep HD streaming Live for 150 million account holders.
If it is free and it’s looking likely – LiveStream, Ustream and the other streaming providers probably need a plan B.
