Historic American newspapers dating all the way back to the turn of the twentieth century from states like California, Utah, and Kentucky to name a few, will be available for free online. “Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers”, is a site featuring more than 226,000 pages of public domain newspapers that are accessible for Americans to research and learn about American history by reading actual accounts from the time period. The National Digital Newspaper Program, which produces the domain, plans to have newspapers and historic documents from all states and U.S. territories published between 1836 and 1922 available on the site in the next 20 years.

Just days ago, a Google executive confirmed that the search engine company would be coming out with a mobile phone. Now, another Google executive, Vinton Cerf, is denying this claim. Cerf, who is one of the most credible members of the company, admitted to Google’s interest in the “mobile revolution”, but he denounces all rumors suggesting that the mega search engine has any actual plans to produce a mobile phone.

Online high school sports network, MaxPreps has become a part of College Sports Television, also known as CSTV, after CBS purchased the site. The database covers close to 80,000 football and over 500,000 high school basketball games every year. There are more than a million high school athletes registered with Maxpreps. Andy Beal, president and CEO of the company says “This new arrangement will open up many new ways to inform and entertain millions of people who are involved in high school sports.”

The deal incorporated CBS shows on YouTube, sharing advertising income and Google would sell inventory from CBS radio.

Google would have guaranteed advertising revenue of more than 500 million dollars for CBS. Google sought after a five-year contract, while CBS found the deal un-workable.

Recently Viacom demanded YouTube remove 100-thousand copyrighted videos. Last year Google CEO Eric Schmidt put the idea forward that they may guarantee up to 500 million dollars in advertising revenue over several years to license Viacom’s videos. Google wanted to pay Viacom around 70 percent of advertising revenue, but Viacom CEO Philippe Dauman wanted more control of advertising and technical issues before negotiating the money. Viacom took Comedy Central away, and arranged a deal with Internet television service Joost.

NBC television executives have become furious from illegal postings of TV shows on YouTube. Ali cited a six-page letter from N-B-C to Google insisting Google keeps unauthorized content off of YouTube.

Google can’t seem to come across allies in the television business.
