Youtube (again) on the Verizon
An obvious development really but good to see it becoming a reality:
TECHNOLOGY ALERT
from The Wall Street Journal.
Nov. 7, 2006
Verizon is in advanced talks with YouTube to bring the popular Web site's
videos to cellphones and television sets, in what would be a landmark
link-up between telecom and Internet video.
For more information, see WSJ
(logon required)
An important question is whether or not this is an exclusive deal. If so the other major US MNO's (T-mobile, Sprint and Cingular) will need to talk to Revver or equivalent quite soon. Also what about the rest of the world? A Vodafone Live! with youtube content would make a lot of sense.
Another important issue of course is the filtering of the content. MNO's as we know are paranoid about the "sanctity" of mobile content on their portals so I am sure every video put up will be double-filtered manually.
