Hi all,

This week's poll question is about the recently announced news that Hulu may start charging for access. Discuss here whether you think about revenue structure, and, if you like, the poll results themselves.

Thanks!
Justin

I had a feeling that they would have to consider this option at some point. If they start charging, they'd would have to remove all commercials in order to offer something more compelling than the alternative options (Netflix, DVR, reruns, movie channels, pay-per-view, and etc.). Granted, most of the alternative options involve your old-school TV instead of watching it on a computer. Some would argue that that's a better experience on a larger screen TV versus a small-screen computer.

I never thought Hulu was all that great. OK for free but most of the content is available elsewhere.

Hell, CBS has a season of Have Gun - Will Travel. For free.

Hulu?

I want to go like my grandfather did. Peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming at the top of my lungs like the passengers in his car.

I was being sarchastic. I think. I am aware of Hulu just was not aware it had any sort of importance.
