Google Seeks Approval for Kansas City Video Service
Google Inc. filed an application last week to provide video service to residents of Kansas City, Mo., according to state records, setting the stage for the Web giant to offer a cable-TV-like package in addition to the high-speed Internet service it plans to market there later this year.
The video service, if approved, would move the Mountain View, Calif., company into closer competition with cable and satellite companies such as Time Warner Cable Inc. that sell cable-TV service in Kansas City.
