YouTube
There’s a lot of interest in whether YouTube is for sale and how much it will sell for. Rightly, the answer is ‘yes’ to the first question, and ‘lots’ to the second question. But how long will YouTube dominate the free-to-net video market? Probably for as long as it is free. As soon as it becomes and if it becomes a paid service it will start to lose.
Nor will people want to watch advertisements in order to view video. Experience with adverts and trailers on DVDs has proven that to be correct.
And in other non-news, mere speculation on my part based on hints, hype and other rumours, two words: Apple, Google. It’s gonna happen. Soon. Watch out YouTube.
