14 DAY TRIAL // As the days pass, YouTube is getting closer and closer to the accomplishment of their new target after being bought by Google. What am I talking about? They want to get on your mobile phones as soon as possible and it seems that this is going to happen very soon because Verizon Wireless, the Verizon and Vodafone joint-venture, are in advanced negotiations with YouTube, which, for the time being, is the most visited video content website on the web.
Supposedly, the deal will get the YouTube content on the Verizon V CAST content distribution service, allowing the join-venture's customers to have direct access to YouTube videos. Besides this type of distribution, Verizon has already thought about one other way to offer video content to its users, this being through a TV on-demand service that will be launched on the carrier's wireless network.
However, you shouldn't get too excited about all the new possibilities this deal will open if it's going to be signed because you will have to pay dearly for the opportunity of watching YouTube's video content on your mobile handset and most probably, the costs will make a few people seriously think about getting all that fun from home, using their PC's. Either way, there will be enough Verizon YouTube addicted customers wanting this new service on their mobile phones to make it a big hit for the American carrier, as we all learned by witnessing the YouTube-mania spreading all over the world in one single year. I wonder how fast is YouTube going to dominate the mobile video services. I don't even dare to think about it.
