Google shuts down video service

Google is shutting down its premium video service, leaving users who have bought or rented content unable to view their videos in the future. The BBC reports.

"... Google started selling video content on its video site in January last year, offering programs such as Survivor, CSI and Star Trek for about $1.99 (£1).

Google co-founder Larry Page launched the service at the Consumer Electronics Show, in Las Vegas, but the success of YouTube has made Google Video increasingly irrelevant. "
