Who Knew?

B-Roll [March 28-April 1, 2009]

  • Disney’s negotiating with YouTube to offer ABC shows (shutting out Hulu). YouTube has wider reach, but Hulu comes with an equity stake for Disney. [UPDATE: Looks like they might be making deals with both companies - offering short-form content on YouTube and full episodes on Hulu.]

  • In other YouTube news, the site is planning a redesign that aims to highlight premium content and increase integrated ads.

  • Dell forms a MVNO in Japan, selling subsidized laptops bundled with HSDPA data plans from the DoCoMo carrier..

  • Brand New does Verizon as an April Fool’s joke, complete with fake website and press release. This is pretty great.
