Chromecast will fit at home in the boardroom as well as the living room and on the TV in the hotel-room. Connected with your phone or tablet, streaming your content, film or TV show, bringing your cable-TV overseas. The so-called dumb TV's becomes interactive, this will change the TV market dramatically.
