Google is collecting some of its top executives in Paris coming week for a global press conference and speculation is widespread, which announcements would include a local version of YouTube for European countries.

France 24, a French public TV channel, inveterate last Friday that it has been in talks with Google, signifying the search giant might be lining up home content for its video-sharing service. Google's YouTube events calendar pegs Tuesday -- the day of the press conference -- for an not mentioned "Paris launch."
