Google、動画プラットフォームのAnvatoを買収
Googleは、End to Endのオンライン動画配信・収益化をサポートするプラットフォームを提供するAnvatoを買収した。動画配信技術をGoogleに取り込み強化するとともに、End to Endの技術を利用することでアドブロッカーの入る隙を減らす目的もあるとみられる。

We are thrilled to bring together Anvato with the scale and power of Google Cloud Platform to provide the industry’s best offering for OTT and mobile video. This will allow us to supercharge our capabilities, accelerate the pace of innovation, and deliver tomorrow’s video solutions faster, enabling media companies to better serve their customers.
