‘Coming soon: paid YouTube channels?’ – ‘Econsultancy’ Blog
The latest ‘Econsultancy’ blog post is titled “Coming soon: paid YouTube channels?”.
Patricio Robles says, “When Google purchased YouTube for $1.65bn in late 2006, some wondered whether the acquisition would be the Web 2.0 equivalent of Yahoo’s ill-fated billion-dollar purchase of Broadcast.com during the first .com boom.
It was hard not to be somewhat skeptical: YouTube was an expensive operation to run and was facing the same type of legal assault from Hollywood that basically killed Napster 1.0 years earlier”.
