Google might be working on a “monthly movie pass”

Recently, select users of the Google Opinion Rewards app were sent a very interesting questionnaire. The first question asked whether or not they had a “monthly movie pass” from Google. No, there is not a video streaming service from Google that exists today or has even been announced.

Any other details were not included with the questionnaire; therefore, Google’s approach can go in two ways: follow Netflix or place a limit on the amount of films rented. The latter seems more likely because the Netflix model requires new, specialized deals for unlimited streaming. Google already has thousands of films available through the Play Store, meaning that placing a limit on rentals could be easier. For example, imagine paying $10 per month for ten rentals. Some people are not in need of Netflix’s messy catalog and only have a few things to watch each month.

The company that released the questionnaire on Google Opinion Rewards was not named. Because of this, Google may or may not have been the company to ask the question. Take a grain of salt with this one, folks.
