> Of the big emerging business lines at Google - Android/Play, GFiber/Loon, YouTube, self-driving cars, Nest & home automation, enterprise Google Docs, and AppEngine/Cloud - YouTube is the only one where the money comes from advertising.
GFiber/Loon is arguably about increasing connectivity and internet access to Google services, and thus increasing ad revenue. Android also increases exposure to Google services and ad revenue. Indeed, one of the main justifications of Android and Play Services has always been that if Google can control the platform they can control where eyeballs go for ads.
