Online video-sharing service YouTube is extending its reach beyond PCs to mobile phones through a deal with Verizon Wireless.

Under the deal announced Tuesday, YouTube will offer a sampling of the most popular videos available through its service, which allows users to watch and share videos on the Web.

Unlike the YouTube Web site service, which is free, the company's mobile phone offering will require a $15-a-month subscription to a Verizon Wireless service called V Cast. Users don't have to pay airtime charges to stream or watch V Cast content but they must have a V Cast-enabled handset.
