GOOGLE TESTS TV SEARCH SERVICE




GOOGLE TESTS TV SEARCH SERVICE

Google’s Android is slowly taking over the cellphone market, now it sets it’s sights on your television. Google Inc. is testing a new television-programming search service with Dish Network Corp. How will Google search be utilized in your cable or satellite set-top box?


It will be exciting to see how this will integrate with your set-top box. Today’s technology is closing the gap between the internet and your television. There are some TV’s on the horizon that has built in WiFi and that allows for widgets to scroll across the bottom while your are watching television. This is a good move for Google to try and increase their ad revenue and its good for Dish Network because it could possibly catapult them out of last place amongst the big cable and satellite providers.
