Google offers TV content for free

Google has started offering TV content on the Internet and that too for free. In what could be a defining moment in the entertainment field, Google depends entirely on advertising and does not charge the user for using the professionally developed content.

The search engine giant started it as an experimental site and are offering old movies, cartoons and television shows. Users will see a banner ad above their screen when they are using the service. Among several other prominent companies who have signed up for the ads, some are Netflix, Burger King and Hewlett-Packard. Almost half-a-dozen advertisers have signed up for the trial.

The starting of this entirely free service is expected to give a big boost to Google which has till now been charging a small fee for the same. This latest entry by Google is sure to bring a video explosion on the Net.

As of now, the majority of revenues of Google come from the ads placed near their search engine. But the new system is sure to raise the income by a considerable amount, as if offers TV content for free under the ads.

"We are always looking for ways to show targeted and engaging advertising to users and we think that Google Video is a natural extension of this ongoing effort," said a Google spokesman.
