voluntary slowdown YouTube flow? The kidnapping of the pub? Inflammatory statements? It’s the past. Tuesday Free and Google have buried the hatchet with the presentation by Xavier Niel, a new Freebox 4K Mini Android TV, the offensive 2.0 of the Mountain View company to get a place in the living room.
“We deliberately decided voluntarily to return to Google in the house,” began Niel, aware of the irony of the situation. “We like to take you a little against the foot. It was the choice of the most used in the world system, the Google Play Store, apps and all the Android ecosystem, “explains the director.
A developing project since” 12 month “
Is the wolf came into the fold? ARCEP symposium on 10 October, the CEO of Iliad, Maxime Lombardini attacked Bouygues, which also offers Android TV on its Bbox Miami, noting that Free, he does “not give” the keys to his box to Google.
In an interview with 01Net performed after the keynote, Xavier Niel defends. “I have never said that, and then we work on it with Google for twelve months.” “If tomorrow the French want to use their TV with Android TV box, they will buy an Android TV box” insists there.
YouTube? “I think it works well, right?”
If Samsung and Apple can work together on the components of the iPhone while addressing the court, this new partnership between Free and Google is not so surprising. The bone of contention was the “peering” agreements referral traffic between content creators and service providers (ISP), which seems to have been resolved in recent months.
Free refused to finance investments in its network to ensure a minimum flow to Google to YouTube. “I think it works well, right? I read in the forums, people have said that the quality was perfect, with 4K stream, so we will assume that it’s going well, “replied Niel, the smile.
A win deal ? win-
Translation: “Google, Microsoft, Netflix, Amazon, all pay interconnection agreements” with ISPs, told 20 Minutes Dan expert Rayburn. This does not mean that Google paid directly Free. He was able to take over part of the investment.
The US company, it refuses to comment on the announcement, but she welcomed on Twitter the arrival of Free in “Android family.”
For Google, the French atypical market, centered around the box was a fortress difficult to drill. Via its partnership with Bouygues and Free, it is now in a strong position. His Trojan is installed.
What is 4K?
new video resolution, which will succeed the full HD. At 3840×2160 pixels, it offers eight million points, four times more than the previous standard. You need three things:
- 4K compatible TV (sometimes called UHD for “ultra high definition”)

- content filmed in 4K they are still few, because you have a throughput of about 15 Mbps to route correctly
