YouTube available on mobiles by next year: co-founder
Steve Chen, co-founder of wildly popular video sharing Web site YouTube, said today consumers in many parts of the world will be able to access the site on mobile phones by next year.
Chen was speaking to hundreds of enthusiastic Web users at a forum on Internet developments in Taipei.
Commuters on subways or buses are likely to access videos of between 30 to 60 seconds each, while people travelling on longer train journeys would probably go for files of up to 10 minutes in length, he said.
As Internet technologies develop further, Web sites should provide richer content and greater mobility so users can have access to them anywhere, Chen said.
