MyTube, YouTube, SeeTube, SueTube.......

What can one say that hasn't been said.....been rumoured awhile, now it are here.

NBC and Newscorp are finally starting their own New New Channel to the End User

Thing that actually interests is that they are not automatically looking at acquisition.....maybe they will build it rather than pay high prices 2006 style, may not be such a dim plan, consider:

Broadstuff Biz Case (expurgated version*)

Cost of Service build - $1m
Cost of Operation before breakeven - $100m
Cost of "persuading" critical mass of YouTube UGC videos onto new service = $5 / video x 50 million clips = $ 250m (added to their content)
Ongoing cost of suing ass off YouTube - $10m

Bargain

* Numbers strictly for illustration only of course

As always, execution is the issue....................
