Google video is now in countries like Canada, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, France, Spain, Poland and UK with their own national versions. This means site visitors will now be able to watch region specific sports, documentaries and sitcoms via the Google video site, but a smaller section of videos. The eight new regional versions will no longer receive ‘broken' links for content, which used to happen earlier because of foreign networks. Partners in the deal include ITN, Wimbledon video rights holder IMG Media, the Cousteau Society, Talkback Thames, Buena Vista International, FC Barcelona and France's National Audiovisual Archive. Moreover, those posting videos onto the site, whether they are movie makers or amateurs, can decide whether to charge for the clips in the regional versions. The move by Google video is an attempt to gain a boost in its dwindling viewership, considering cut throat completion from YouTube and other video sites.
