International. Through the internet service that Google began to provide in the United States, it will soon enter the cable television business, which promises to be available not only for televisions, but also through an application on mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones.
Through Fiber, which promises to be the fastest internet service in the United States and which began tests in Kansas City, Google wants to begin tests with the television service, for which it has all technical conditions, but is waiting for the authorization of the Federal Communications Commission and that a considerable group of neighbors of this city approve the project.
The company's executives said that the television service will have a wide variety of channels in high definition, including some of its own creation. In addition, it will allow recording up to 500 hours of programming through the online platform Google Drive.
The complete package that Google is offering with its cable TV pilot plan includes internet access, a router, a set-top box, 1Tb in Google Drive for storage and a Nexus 7 mobile that acts as a control, with a cost of US $ 120 per month.
The market is waiting for what role YouTube can play in Google's cable television service, as it should be remembered that the video portal is owned by the best known search engine in the world.
