YouTube Expands Video Support To 3G Mobile Technology

YouTube, the most popular video sharing site on the web, is making a roar with news that they will be expanding support for all cell phones enabled with 3G technology. According to YouTube's announcement, this expansion will amount to upwards of 100 million devices that will support the playing, rating, and commenting of videos.

Those who have 3G enabled devices will be able to invest even more time on YouTube soon. The announcement that YouTube will expand support for all 3G compatible devices is another victory for the company.  No date was mentioned of when this expansion will be completed.

Members of the YouTube site will be able to not only play videos on their 3G enabled devices, but comment and rate them as well. Most functionality that users have on the desktop is available with YouTube's mobile version of the site. There is also a downloadable application available for a select few Nokia and SonyEricsson devices.

Now, if Google gets aggressive in the 700 MHz auction, people in the U.S. who do not currently have the ability to view YouTube content on their mobile devices could be provided with more affordable options, and Google would become even more rich through mobile advertising; however, it might not work out that way.
