This should be made available every where. But then they can't charge us for offline and background play.

YT would get more views actually if they allowed offline now. It would also help with the puny data allowances wireless carriers are imposing these days. The offline will take the power away (in a small way), from the carriers.

They can provide the same experience as today, ads and all. People can watch YT on flights, while driving and what not. Amazon video allows offline usage today and been for a while.

Yeah, they can even make the ads from the flight systems instead and charge airline providers :-).
