"After months of ongoing discussions with YouTube and Google, it has become clear that YouTube is unwilling to come to a fair market agreement that would make Viacom content available to YouTube users," Viacom said. UBS views the move as a negotiating measure. "We think Google pays up now, in the early days, to establish its long-tem position. We think its an excellent use of capital, though it may pressure margins," the investment firm said in a note to clients.
