I think this is great idea. Many users are watching youtube offline.

Do you have any stats on youtube usage? Personally I don't use the offline feature very much.
A lot of people still have shitty, unreliable, expensive, and/or very limited internet connection. This is great for all of them.
I'm wondering if that's because of where you live? In the US at least, if your not in a top 10 city, chances are your data connection is terrible.
Of course it depends on where you live. Even in europe you'll find lots of underserved areas once you'll leave the cities. No provider is interested in building the network in these regions.
