From The Register
“Sky and Google have announced they are to work together to develop content for Sky’s broadband customers and share advertising revenue generated though those customers.
Sky will be creating its own video site on the lines of YouTube, using technology provided by Google (YouTube’s owner). Google will also provide the technology and servers for the Sky email service (addresses ending in what is described as the “popular @sky.com” moniker), which will have much the same interface and capabilities as Google Mail.
More interesting is the agreement that Google will provide access to applications such as contact management and calendar services as well as instant messaging. VoIP services are mentioned, but only as something that Sky is interested in examining for the future.”
Intriguing. Is this the start of Google making cash back from the much-deried decision to invest in Youtube? And does this mean Youtube vids could start appearing on Sky’s services?
