YouTube coming soon to cell phones
By
YouTube is coming to mobile phones–or, to be more precise, a small slice of YouTube is coming to some Verizon Wireless phones. While its explosively popular Web site is free, YouTube’s phone-based version will require a $15-a-month subscription to a Verizon Wireless service called VCast.
Verizon Wireless and YouTube said the service would be available early next month. The companies would not discuss the financial terms of their deal but said Verizon would have the exclusive rights to distribute YouTube videos on mobile phones “for a limited period of time.” “This marquee partnership is the first of many,” said Kelly Liang, senior director of business development for YouTube.
