Chromecast turns one with 400m casting milestone

July 23, 2014

Back in June, market researchers Parks Associates found that, while Chromecast was in an estimated 6-percent of US homes, those actually using it to look at webpages or media on their TVs had dropped significantly. Their conclusion was that the streamer's relatively low $35 sticker price meant many bought in without necessarily researching exactly what the Chromecast could - and couldn't - do, only realizing its limitations and abilities over time.

Google doesn't address such speculation in any way specifically, but is throwing out some free media as a way to perhaps tempt some Chromecast owners (and would-be owners) to plug the dongle back in.
