Yahoo to launch paid Net video service Yahoo is close to unveiling details of a paid, subscription-based Internet video service that will compete with a similar product from RealNetworks, according to sources familiar with the plans. Yahoo has been in discussions with television networks to become content partners in the new service, which could feature video clips from News Corp.'s Fox network, Viacom's CBS and Walt Disney's ABCNews.com, according to sources close to the negotiations. The sources cautioned, though, that deals have not been sealed and plans could change. Indeed, the organization of content on Platinum Yahoo coincides with this view.
