There are plenty of other ways to get that information. Statistics (x number sold * y average casts per user), asking streaming companies (i'm sure netflix and hulu know when you're on a chromecast and could report rough numbers to google), and i'm pretty sure there are other ways that I'm not thinking of.
- lepht 11y ago... and how would they know "average casts per user"?
- magicalist 11y agoYou don't, but that's what the entire field of statistics was invented for to estimate :) From the above, though, it sounds like that's not necessary since it's fundamental to the cast protocol.
- ohitsdom 11y agoNope. As others have pointed out, every cast has to begin with a call to google.com (which is why chromecast must be connected to the internet). The call basically sends an id number to google, and then google returns a URL of where to get the code for that cast.
