Interview with Google’s Director of Video
Richard Koman has an interesting interview with Jennifer Feikin, Google’s director of video. As with Brightcove, Open Media Network, Lulop, and others, the plan is to create a new market for video content:
The plan is to allow content owners to charge for their video content. When you upload content you’re asked to specify a price for your content, and a sale results in a cut for Google.
Though Google is looking at DRM, it is also exploring ad supported models.
