And now Revver videos on Verizon Wireless

Verizon has done second video deal in 2 days. As part of a new deal with Revver. Starting early next month, Verizon VCast users will be able to access video content from Revver site on their mobile phones.

Unlike Youtube, Revver does a 50-50 sharing of revenues generated from its videos. The 50-50 sharing of revenues will continue in case of videos viewed by Verizon Wireless users.

As in the case of Youtube Revver has signed an exclusive agreement, which in this case is for 12 months. Once again mobile customers will be subjected to editor profiling of videos. Revver channel at VCast will include Editor’s Picks, Viral Video Classics, Laughs, Animation and Cute Overdose.

Suddenly Verizon does sound serious about it’s mobile video plans. Still $15/month for video on phone is too much. Personally I am already spending $400+/month(mobile + voip + international calling + data plan + dsl + aircard + landline +…) on communication per month as compared to $14/month for a landline 7 years back. Time to cut back guys, not spend more.
