Verizon Wireless revs up mobile video

Verizon Wireless wants people to watch television on their phones, and it's wheeling and dealing to make that happen.

The telecommunications giant announced Wednesday that starting in early December it will offer content from the video-sharing Web site Revver, a YouTube competitor that allows users to upload and share videos, as part of its V Cast video service. The deal came a day after the wireless operator, jointly owned by Verizon Communications and the European giant Vodafone, announced that it would offer clips from video heavyweight YouTube.
