It has been incredibly fun to brainstorm ways technology can power a great video experience globally, to dream up ways to improve video advertising and to make those ambitions a reality. At the same time, Verizon, the largest wireless service provider in the US, has made clear their convictions about the future of online video. They share our belief that internet protocol will inevitably become the dominant way consumers access great video experiences.

For Vessel subscribers, the service will shut down on Oct. 31. Annual subscribers will receive a refund, and monthly subscribers will get paid back for the month of October.

Vessel never disclosed how many subscribers it had.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Recodereported that Kilar will not take a longterm position at Verizon. Tom will join as CTO of Verizon's digital entertainment efforts, which includes free mobile app Go90.
