According to The Wall Street Journal, the Corporation is Google Inc., which owns YouTube, belatedly joins a wide range of companies offering limited packages of basic channels to attract millions of Americans who have decided to abandon the traditional television.

These consumers are divided into two main groups: older people cancelling subscriptions to traditional pay-TV, and young people who have never paid for such services. According to industry representatives, not less than 10 million American homes that only have broadband Internet access without connecting a TV antenna or cable .

According to analyst Michael Nathanson, $35 per month – “a very aggressive price tag” with a YouTube premium content that will cost Google about $30. If the number of channels increase, it is unlikely that the company will be able to capitalize on one subscription. However, access to television advertising may become a significant new source of revenue for Google and Google, since U.S. companies spend about $70 billion a year.
