Google’s interest in television doesn’t end with youtube

November 12, 2007

From The Observer.

“Internet giant Google is in secret talks with Simon Fuller, the
British entrepreneur behind the Spice Girls, about a joint venture that
could change the way TV is watched over the internet.

News of
the collaboration will prompt speculation that Google’s plans for the
TV market include generating original content and competing with major
broadcasters.”

Google appears to be on the attack to transform businesses well beyond internet search as it makes giant leaps into the world of telecommunication and media.

It appears the big network agencies now need dedicated “Google watchers” to gain insight into the rapidly changing dynamics of the media and advertising market that are being caused by the actions of one company.
