Google is taking another swing at commanding the television with its new Chromecast, a low-cost accessory that plugs into a TV and allows users to stream video, share tabs from the Google Chrome browser, or play music from their smartphones, tablet or computer on the big screen.
“Google doesn’t care about making any money on the device,” McQuivey said. “The future is about software.”
This new strategy doesn’t even focus so much on selling the content, he noted. It’s aimed more at gathering information on consumer habits — data that Google could combine with search and other data from its services to expand its user profiles.
“This is a deep, deep relationship built with you,” he said. “It opens potential for them to do much more for you than they could before.”
