According to the Wall Street Journal, Google has approached several media companies regarding such a service, which involves offering cable TV-like channel packages over broadband. This wouldn’t be the first time we’ve seen the folks at Mountain View putting feelers out, as the company opened up discussions with media companies two years ago. Nothing came of them, of course, but it’s hard to say if the current conversations will meet the same fate – a couple years is a long time in the industry, and things may be different enough to merit a more appealing offer on either side.
