A planned subscription service from YouTube is facing delays related to Google executives insistence that the product be competitive from the day it launches, according to a new report. Billboard, citing an interview with an unnamed executive briefed on YouTubes plans, say that a service originally scheduled to launch earlier this year has been bumped to the second quarter or beyond. Google, which offers a separate subscription called Google Play Music All Access, already has the licenses in place to offer a $5 or $10 monthly service to compete with Spotify, Rhapsody, and Rdio. But Billboards sources say executives are insisting that YouTubes offering be compelling immediately, rather than steadily iterating a beta version in the manner of so many Google products before it.
