 Today, YouTube generates an impressive 4 billion in revenue in 2014, the FCC reclassifies the internet as a utility with Title II regulation, and YouTube announces the winners of the 2015 YouTube Music Awards. Hello and welcome to YouTube News for March 4th, 2015. I'm your host, Alex, and I'll be walking you through some of the most important and interesting topics revolving around the YouTube platform. First up, it's been reported that YouTube generated $4 billion in revenue for the year of 2014. Though that's a massive figure, it sadly fell short of what analysts expected, and it turns out that they may be struggling to actually turn a profit. With $4 billion in revenue, YouTube actually barely even broke even, and they will need to expand their audiences further in 2015. YouTube Music Key, a deal with the NFL, and their brand new YouTube Kids app all seem to be pointing in that direction, and while we're off to a solid start, we'll have to just see how this plays out by the end of the year. Next up, in case you haven't heard, the United States Federal Communications Commission has approved the reclassification of internet as a utility in the support of net neutrality under Title II of the Commissions Act. What that simply means is that internet providers no longer have the option of treating certain data with priority over other data. There was a lot of concern the internet providers were going to move to a fast lane and slow lane internet infrastructure where customers would have to pay more if they wanted things like Netflix and YouTube to actually load quickly. Luckily this is no longer going to happen, and the reclassification ensures that all bits are treated equally from now on. Lastly, the YouTube Music Awards winners of 2015 have been announced, with more than over 47 billion views, 164 million subscribers, and 1,600 videos uploaded in the past six months. YouTube has released the full list of winners on their blog and in a video. I'll link to both in the description if you guys want to check out the full list of winners. Are you fans of any of the winners? Are there any artists that you feel should have made the list that didn't actually make it? Tell us in the comments section down below and let's have a discussion about this. Anyways, that's it for me this week guys, tune in next Wednesday for the latest in YouTube News.
