Google requires that Microsoft has removed the YouTube app for Windows Phone, referring to the lack of advertising

A few days ago, Microsoft updated its YouTube app for Windows Phone, but Google this update is clearly not impressed. The Verge I managed to get a copy of the letter in which Google requires that Microsoft «immediately delete it application from the Windows Phone Store, and canceled existing applications to boot environment, May 22, 2013 of the year".

Resentment Google due to the lack of advertising in the YouTube app from Microsoft, which is a direct violation of YouTube the API terms of use. According to information from The Verge, Microsoft has created a free Google application consent to release users from having to view advertising. It's clear that the lack of advertising have a negative impact on Google's revenue, but it also applies to third-party revenues of content creators who are earning through AdSense. "Unfortunately, ad blocking and allowing you to download the video, your application takes away a significant portion of the proceeds from the creators, as well as this harms the prosperity of the content ecosystem on YouTube », - said in a Google a letter to Todd Brix (Todd Brix) of Microsoft.

On the first day of the conference Google I / O Larry Page (Larry Page) spoke in detail about his vision of the future of technology, noting that the negative industry slows progress. Paige then added: "We are fighting with the likes of Microsoft». If we add to this statement are stories like Google statement on termination of Exchange ActiveSync support, which forced Microsoft poperezhivat badly due to lack of protocol support CalDAV and CardDAV alternative for Windows Phone, it can be concluded that the relationship between the two giants a few tense... In spite of this, in Microsoft trying to make steps towards good relations with Google: a few days ago, Microsoft talked about plans to support Google Talk in its services, that many should please. But YouTube users to Windows Phone, it seems, in the near future will have to be content with unofficial third-party applications or use web-based interface. As long as Microsoft and Google do not learn to work properly, users of both companies will have problems.

After the publication of The Verge, Microsoft responded to Google claims: "We would love to have included advertising, if Google has given us access to all the necessary API. In light of the comments of Larry Page, who calls for closer cooperation and to a lesser negativity, we look forward to sharing address this issue in the interest of our common users. "
