Today's Story Highlights

Changes in Federal IT Spending Require Nimble Contracting
Federal agencies will continue to spend heavily on IT over the next five
years, but the pace and direction of spending will be complicated by
shifting priorities, congressional constraints and a presidential
election. The bottom line is that the overall rate of IT spending will
be above $98 billion each year for next six federal fiscal years,
according to a forecast Deltek released last month.

YouTube has generated more than $2 billion to content copyright holders

management system, Google said, adding that more than 90 percent of all
Content ID claims result in monetization. YouTube also paid out more
than $3 billion to the music industry.
