YouTube Coming Soon to Cellphones

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. And instead of choosing what to watch from a vast library of clips, VCast users will be limited to an unspecified number of videos selected and approved by the companies.

メディアを変えればお金が取れる典型。短いビデオをTouTubeがセレクトして配信するらしいが，それがビデオの標準になる可能性もありそうだ。
