Apparently Google is partnering with Sky (Britain) to offer a customized suite of services including GoogleVideo and Gmail... http://www.advanced-television.com/2006/news_archive_2006/Dec04_Dec08.htm

Tony, thanks for the link, I have missed that one.

David, that is Sky as in Sky Broadband, that is the broadband service offered by the parent company of Sky News.

The most interesting bit of the report for me was about Sky launching user generated video portal using "Google's syndicated video content tools". I understand that as a customized GoogleVideo.

And when it says "Sky will explore opportunities to provide further services such as Google’s VoIP telephony services", that means... umm, a customized GoogleTalk?
