Seeing as how they are having troubles getting other content producers to sign up (Google Books and Google Music as examples) to Google media projects, the odds of them pushing through with TV and movie organizations seems even slimmer. I don't think Google speaks "content", especially when they are or would be negotiating with organizations that have a strong interest in capping bandwidth or double dipping fees from organizations like Google. TimeWarner (and Comcast, even though you can't vote doesn't mean you can't lobby. . privately) I'm looking at you. I think the Google books lawsuit fiasco really damaged Google's reputation with the content creation community (and the AA organizations) which in turn would negatively impact their negotiations with content providers. Also, Google can, and probably will be seen as an all out competitor to traditional business models. They're building GoogleTV to destroy set top boxes and push people away from traditional media access and onto the net and copyrighted material still floods youtube. From a negotiating perspective, Google would have to make an extremely sweet offer to content creators to get them to think about putting content on the mashup Hulutube / YouHulu site. (I personally think YouHulu sounds better).
