Video service YouTube has blocked the company TinyTube from re-encoding videos uploaded to the video sharing site so they can be viewed on mobile handsets. The block comes, conicidentally, after YouTube struck a deal with US carrier Verizon to redistribute videos to mobile users.

TinyTube posted a comment on its forums on 30th November explaining that YouTube videos would no longer be available. YouTube and Verizon announced their tie up on 28th November.

TinyTube's Allen Day confirmed that it believed that the shutdown was due to the Verizon deal. "We were informed by YT their action was largely due to pressure from their new mobile partner, Verizon," he told OUT-LAW.

I think that YouTube really is great. There is no other file sharing site that is better than this one.
