Surely what is being said is absolutely correct but we can surely leeway the fact that a company as big as Youtube has the capacity to buy out the domain and in regards to competetion it can easily overcome due to its mass appeal and larger audience base… Cheers!

Just a wipo is enough to get the indian domains back and i think its a nice initiative

Fail to understand the full benefit for the segregation of Indian content.  It can never really happen..... most of the content will find its way to youtube global and a lot of content from there will be on youtube india....thus resulting in redundancy and lack of differentiation.

Additionally youtube global would hold a larger reservoir of content , why would i then search on the indian version if :-

1.The search results are more extensive on youtube ,
2. I would get most of the content available the indian site ,on youtube global as well

If you are looking for video and social networking site focused on Indian movies and TV shows, checkout DesiScreen.com. This site launched last month and is growing pupular very rapidly among Indian diaspora worldwide.

Google / Youtube LLC has acquired the domains
YouTube.co.in &
YouTube.in
http://www.inregistry.in/policies/dispute_resolution/dispute_decisions/youtubeco.pdf

Registering domain names does not equate with launching a full-fledged operation. The Google guys in Delhi have already tied up with several Indian content providers to launch India-related content. About the segregation of content, it is easy to see the benefits. When you want to read Google News, you (as in, an Indian news consumer) would much rather go to news.google.co.in than news.google.com, which is America centric. Of course, the user makes the final choice, but the important thing is—there IS choice. YouTube’s India site will be no different in that sense.

I have produced, written and directed a film kahani ek raat ki [story of one night] Dauration one hour duly cenosred with u certifcate, which also won best short Film award at Rome International festival. now i want to give it to the likes of you tube. If you tube is starting operations in India, Its indeed a very good news. Now please let me know how to go about it, or guide me at .  SATINDRA NARULLA

You Tube in India may have any available domain, not essentially youtube.in . The launch is now expected within three weeks. I am looking up for further details.
