A quote from a Reuters story about a Google exec. complaining that the Internet has a lack of bandwidth for delivering video and multi-media. It suggests that Google’s plan to further transform the Internet into a better interactive video ad system will eventually bring it into an alliance with the phone and cable giants.
Reuters: “The Web infrastructure, and even Google’s (infrastructure) doesn’t scale. It’s not going to offer the quality of service that consumers expect,” Vincent Dureau, Google’s head of TV technology, said at the Cable Europe Congress. Google instead offered to work together with cable operators to combine its technology for searching for video and TV footage and its tailored advertising with the cable networks’ high-quality delivery of shows.”
