Google Ready For TV
Yesterday I mentioned Google’s supposed suggestion that it wasn’t ready for television on the Internet.
Kapustka, at Giga Om, has dug into the article a lot more and discovered the quote is out of context.
“Some remarks from Vincent Dureau’s well-received speech at the Cable Europe Congress were quoted out of context in news reports,” said a Google spokesperson Friday. The further background explanation from Google is that Dureau was responding to a question and was trying to address a potential bottleneck Google does see, which they say exists between Google’s own content-delivery infrastructure and the cable set-top box in your home.
Google’s infrastructure scales just fine, they said, and there is no problem watching TV on the Web. Despite what you may have read.
