The "other bets" category accounts for $185mm in total revenue. By most normal reckoning, that has taken off. It looks small by google standards and compared the the spending on other bets, but that's a lot of money. IIRC, most of the revenue and cost in "other bets" comes from Google Fibre. It's a signficant up-front investment for a fairly reliable long term revenue stream. treating the whole other bets category as R&D is not really correct. this isn't just google X.
