NBC & News Corp Enroll Comcast as Latest Anti-Google Ally?

OK, if you’ll give me a little slack to speculate here, I’d like to suggest that Comcast will not renew their advertising deal with Google.

The evidence?

The cable giant has just signed a deal with NBC and News Corp. to display their videos on its web properties. In return, Comcast will will distribute its own video content on NBC/News Corp’s planned video portal.

Now, would it make sense for Comcast to make a deal with Google’s competitor, if it had any plans of sticking with Google?

I think not.

    I agree with you. This could be very interesting to see play out. Youtube is so sluggish, and maybe Comcast can give preference to their own customers when transferring data.
