Google to Tie Up with Indian DTH Providers to Stream YouTube on TV


Google want to cash India's increasing market of DTH service. To capture more and more people of India, Google is planning to bring YouTube on TV screens via DTH (Direct-To-Home) providers.

Franciso Verala of YouTube on Global Strategy


On his first trip to India, Global Director of Platform Partnerships, Francisco Varela said, "Google is making a big push to boost YouTube usage in India and is in talks with direct-to-home cable providers to bring the service to televisions screens". However, Varela didn't named the DTH providers with whom he is in talk nor he elaborate on how this integration will be done or when the service will go live.

YouTube makes a major portion of Google’s revenues, which crossed $50 billion (about Rs 3.1 lakh crore) in 2012. As per Varela, India is one of the fastest growing market for YouTube video services. Almost 55 million visitors of global 1 billion visitors come from India on YouTube.

The major DTH providers in India are Dish TV, Tata Sky, Airtel Digital TV, Videocon D2H, Reliance Digital TV and Sun Direct. And according to TRAI, there are around 54 million DTH subscribers in India at the end of 2012. With the support of DTH providers, YouTube would be able to penetrate directly into 54 million Indian DTH subscribers.

But the time will tell what technology Google will be using to provide YouTube streaming on DTH and whether it would require internet connection or not. But as channels streaming on DTH does not require any Internet connection, our hope and thought is that there would be no requirement for high speed broadband connection to stream YouTube on TV via DTH.

Finally Google Enables Request Indexing Feature in Google Search Console After Disabling It for Two Months

By
"Page actions are temporarily disabled" Google Search Console’s URL Inspection Tool Was Down Since From October 2020 and a message "Page actions are temporarily disabled" was displayed on URL Inspection panel of Google Search Console. Now as of today 22 Dec, 2020, the URL Inspection feature is working fine. So, Request Indexing tool is Back in Google Search Console. Is it working fine or Google has just placed a dummy for showing indexing tool is working. I am saying this because I submitted many URLs for indexing but still after 4 - 5 hours none are showing updated content or new URLs in Google results. People will say that Google have the right to index a page or not based upon its liking but earlier it used to index a page withing 5 mins of submitting for index. Have to wait and watch if it is still as effective as it was or not.

By default, auto play for videos is enabled on both the mobile and desktop version of Facebook. Many users never mind to disable this feature. Imagine what will Facebook earns when they will start rolling out video ads for all user generated videos. The ad will run after around 20 seconds of your video watching and deliver 5-15 second mid-roll video ads. Over the period of time I got to see Facebook Pop-Up videos when I scroll the news feed on desktop. This popup video is one step towards making more money through Facebook in videos ads. If you scroll while watching the video, the ad will not be visible to you. So, to make ads visible the video will pop-out from your news feed and will be running and visible throughout your scrolling. Yesterday, while watching a video about edible water orbs shared
