Vodafone brings YouTube to mobile users

Written by James Delahunty @ 09 Feb 2007 10:10 User comments (8)

Vodafone brings YouTube to mobile users After already striking deals to give users access to social networking site MySpace and eBay, Vodafone is now set to offer YouTube services to its customers. Customers will now be able to view and add videos through Vodafone's mobile service. The service will be available to UK users first before eventually spreading to other countries.
By adding services like this, Vodafone, Europe's largest mobile phone company, can significantly boost revenues. Since all the videos on YouTube are of fairly low quality, video recordings from mobile phones fit the service just right. It's a good move from Vodafone in attempt to bridge the gap.
