Verizon Wireless to offer YouTube clips on cell phones
28 Nov 2006 | Google , Verizon Wireless | 1 comment
Verizon Wireless and YouTube have signed a deal today that will allow Verizon to deliver video clips to cell phones. This seems to be the company's attempt to boost the use of VCAST media service, because out of 20 million Verizon Wireless users that have VCAST compatible phones, only 10% use the service.
YouTube, which was recenly bought by Google said it would like to expand to more than just computers and did not reveal the financial terms of their deal.
The only thing we do know is that the only way to view video clips on YouTube from your phone is to pay a $15 monthly fee for VCAST. The service will be available starting December.

I always knew their VCAST service wasn't going very well! Everybody is crazy about youtube right now, but they won't be gettin more users this way.
