Pay-per-view on YouTube


Pay-per-view on YouTube A report from the Financial Times indicates that Google is in advanced talks with movie studios, with the aim of launching a film on pay-per-view rental service through YouTube. It is not the first time we heard this voice

The buzz is that this service would cost about $ 5 per movie, probably leased for a period of 48 hours. The difficulty of this service is that there is now a means to obtain public support YouTube videos on your TV. there are operating systems such as media center Boxee, XBMC and Windows Media Center that supports YouTube, but none do it with elegance and simplicity that this service requires.

That's where Google comes in. Google TV TV is a major push into the living room by Google, consolidating cable TV, streaming media, and search all in one box - you can read more about Google TV here. What is lacking compared to other, similar boxes like Apple TV, is its service, and this idea of YouTube rental may be just what TV needs Google to compete with Apple, Amazon, and indirectly (as is not a subscription service), Netflix.

Of course, it remains to be seen whether Google TV will be a success. I doubt it - in my opinion, Google TV is too transparent, unable to combine media from disparate sources into a common interface that makes sense - but a $ 5-a-pop rental service is a nice addition to the list functionality.
