Intersting idea. You are suggesting that google become both a content delivery network (many exist and many, many more will spring up in the next few years) and a video content aggregator for all business video.

Google as a business video CDN – like almost every new business on the web – Google, Microsoft, Apple and everyone else with huge capital reserves has to decide what business they are in… and stick to their knitting. I could imagine a hundred impationed articles -just like this one – defining yet another multi billion dollar opportunity that Google is ignoring. I agree that this idea is closer to their core advertising model than most, but I'm not convinced this is the right move for them.

Google as a Business Video Content Aggregator. Google owns search already – so this is not a pressing business issue for them. The reason the VC's in silicon valley haven't invested millions into this business idea is that no one wants to compete directly with Google. (Are you going to go to Google to look for business information or are you going to go to Biztube and do a search for a video related to your query?)

How important would this new site / portal / tool be. Video is just a media type (getting lots of hype)Why is there no company brochure portal, or product brochure portal? Yes – video is going to become a very importan marketing tool for all companies (lot's of it will be crap – just like websites were 10 years ago and still are today) but video is just another media type used for marketing. Am I going to a site/portal to look for business videos or am I going to the web to look for something to solve my busness problem- video or otherwise. Just like companies today make the mistake of putting all of their video's together under a 'videos' link (like they assume that people are actually looking for 'videos' ) on their websites, putting a whack of disparate business videos together on a video portal (just because they are the same media type) won't necessarily help people get answers to their business problems.

Yes, Google could easily become a CDN and compete with Akamai and the many other CDN players who also charge a fee to host content, but they could just as easily do something else with their billions.
