Google’s Fiber TV service not exactly off to a good start
Google launched the Fiber internet service in Kansas City, Kansas a couple of years ago. Google also launched an accompanying cable TV service along with broadband, giving users the option to ditch their cable provider and pick Google instead. A new report now claims that this service hasn’t exactly been off to a flying start with only 29,867 video subscriptions made so far.
About 20,000 of these subscriptions reportedly came from Kansas City, Missouri, the report said. In the area, Google has grabbed about 10% of the market. Kansas City, Kansas on the other hand has a slightly better marketshare of 13%, which again, is nothing to write home about.
On the whole Google Fiber TV is said to have about 0.026% of the entire U.S. TV marketshare, which tells us that Google is yet to make inroads in this area. This also means that cable TV providers in the regions don’t have anything to worry about at this point with Google barely scratching the top of the surface.
