It was the open standard, then Google broke it and introduced Chromecast.

And they've polluted the wording so that Chromecast means both the device, and the protocol, etc etc

I look forward to seeing what they rename the streaming protocol to. Maybe it will still be called chromecast

It was called Google Cast for a long time, after other devices adopted the protocol.
