Google Project Stream

After mumbles for years, Google are rolling out a trial for their game streaming service. Starts Oct 5th and into the US you can sign up here:

Limited numbers, but you'll get to play AC: Odyssey for free.

Not PC related , but the new Chromecast has a Bluetooth connection, so suspect this is a stress test for launching on that.

What is the typical roundtrip network latency for these services?

Depends where you live. Can be several days.

Interesting that they're targeting 60fps for ACO. A round trip should be longer than 16ms?

Might be some overlap with technology from YouTube TV, which targets 60fps for every television channel.
