In an email obtained by Deadline, Paramount Streaming CEO Tom Ryan tells staffers that the company is merging product and tech teams for its Paramount Plus and Pluto TV services.
Vibol Hou, the CTO of streaming, will oversee both teams, while Rob Gelick, the former chief product officer, is leaving the company.
Google says it wants to offer the service to “select areas” by the end of this year. The 20GBps speeds and the not-yet-certified Wi-Fi 7 would be a pretty big upgrade for the service, which currently offers up to 8GBps and Wi-Fi 6 routers.
Earlier today, we posted about AdExchanger’s report that raised questions about whether Netflix is showing fewer commercials to those who cancel their subscription and then re-subscribe to Netflix’s ad-supported tier.
But Netflix spokesperson Nikki Merkouris tells The Verge this isn’t the case, saying “We do not alter the ad load,” and that it has always averaged about four minutes per hour.
