Google launches movie streaming service in the United Kingdom? No they are not.

Google is launching a YouTube movie streaming service, contrary to reports swirling around the world of technology.

There was a report in the New York Post that Google is considering launching a subscription based service of film on YouTube, he said. It has also been reported that Google has earmarked $ 100 million (£ 62 million) for the project.

The movie streaming service, if launched, it would have been similar to options such as LoveFilm streaming in the United Kingdom.

However, paidContentUK was told by a YouTube spokesperson UK that this is not true. The spokesman said, "today, YouTube is focused on building out and improve its current leasing offer based in United States. While we always push out all of our products worldwide, our community, we have no intention of launching a European rental service in the near future. "

Such a service would have competed with other services, video-on-demand, but unfortunately we're not going to be seeing this anytime soon.

Pop over to Twitter and Facebook to T3 and tell us which service of video-on-demand uses and follow us to stay updated on new tech which is soon to UK shores.
