WSJ: Google Begins Streaming Commercial Videos for Free

Authored by robert on June 23, 2006 - 1:24am.

The WSJ reports that Google began streaming commercial videos, including movies and TV shows, for free on the Web as part of a trial of advertising support for its video offerings, yesterday. Free videos can be viewed here: video.google.com. Burger King and Netflix are two of the sponsors underwriting this experiment. And yes, I do find it to be ironic that Netflix is helping Google to condition consumers to expect even more for free in the digital world (though I recognize that Charlie Chaplin and Mr. Magoo DVD's probably do not make up a large percentage of Netflix's revenue). Daniel Blackman, Strategic Partner Development, for Google Video, will be on the Television panel at 2PM EST at the Digital Media Conference today.
