YouTube on Helio: Two clicks, no fees

Mobile virtual network operator Helio announced an agreement with YouTube to make the user-generated content aggregator's video clips available free for subscribers. In addition, Helio promised faster and more efficient YouTube video uploads requiring no more than two clicks, enabling near-real-time publishing. According to the MVNO, subscribers first must sign up for a YouTube mobile profile and pre-program their Helio Album media sharing service--upon clicking "Post," their videos will be live for public consumption.

"Helio has made it easier than ever to watch and publish videos to YouTube wherever you are, on a nationwide high-speed 3G network," said Sky Dayton, Helio CEO. "Going even further, we've made it so you can shoot video on your Helio device and publish it to millions of YouTube users in just two clicks. Taken together, Helio is providing our members with a complete YouTube experience unlike anything on the market today."
