Rumor has it that Youtube will lunch in France on June 19th. This rumor comes via the newspaper Les Echos as well as Agence France-Press (AFP), who says France Televisions told them they’re in talks with Google about sharing their TV programs on YouTube. Additionally, France could be a test market for later country by country localization.

“I guess we’ll know more on Tuesday. Google is keeping their lips sealed and handed out the usual “we do not comment on market rumor or speculation” to AFP” – Google Blogoscoped

Possible domains:
YouTube.fr, YouTube.de, YouTube.co.uk, YouTube.pl

From another source, the youtube.de (the German Top Level Domain) was bought by Google. Orginally, youtube.de was registered to a German guy running a video website.

“According to German Online Magazin heise.de, the Domain is now transfered to YouTube Inc. in San Mateo. Both parties agree not to talk about any details. “

At the moment the Domain is pointing to a transfer page of German Nic Services Denic.

The big question is: Will we be seeing Youtube in every country from now on?
