iPhone 3GS Driving 400-Percent Growth in YouTube Uploads

Video uploads to YouTube have increased 400 percent a day since the launch of the iPhone 3GS, according to YouTube.

In a blog post, YouTube officials Dwipal Desai and Mia Quagliarello cited three factors driving an overall growth of 1700 percent in uploads in the last six months: new video-enabled phones on the market, improvement of the upload flow and a new, streamlined process to share videos on social networks.

Yowza — 400 percent a day due to the iPhone 3GS? We’re guessing AT&T is going to hate this: The company already prevented the TV streaming iPhone app SlingPlayer from working on the 3G network, saying it “could create congestion and potentially prevent other customers from using the network.” How will AT&T handle video uploads? That’s bound to stress the upstream of the 3G network. Guess we’ll have to wait and see.
