Google introduces fiber-branded set-top box to FCC

New details have emerged showing how Google could be planning to step into the television market, as the internet search engine giant continues with plans to offer ultra-fast internet service.

The company is reportedly preparing a set-top-box. The device is made by Humax Co. Ltd and is called GFHD100. It packs in Wi-Fi and USB, Ethernet and HDMI ports. And, for good measure, it comes affixed with a Google Fiber sticker.

Google hasn't made any formal commitments to launch a pay-TV service, but the emergence of the Humax box will certainly stir up speculation that Google's got something cooking.

"We're still exploring what product offerings will be available when we launch Google Fiber in Kansas City, and we have nothing to announce at this time," Google spokeswoman Jenna Wandres noted in response to questions about the Humax device.
