YouTube Goes Mobile

Online video-sharing service YouTube announced a deal with Verizon Wireless today, saying that next month it will start offering some of its most popular videos through the V Cast mobile service, IDG News Service's John Blau reports.

Unlike the free YouTube Web site, Verizon's offering will require a $15-a-month V Cast subscription. Users don't have to pay airtime charges to stream or watch the content but they must have a V Cast-enabled handset.

The companies didn't release financial details, but said that Verizon would have exclusive rights to distribute YouTube videos on mobile phones "for a limited period of time."
