Hulu Plus

Hulu has added a new product. According to the Hulu online options, episodes of programs from NBC, Fox and ABC from this past season in addition to a catalog of other programming is available by subscription. This new wrinkle in the service is called Hulu Plus. Hulu has priced the service at $9.99 per month.

Recent episodes are still available as  free content, but carry commerical advertising. Hulu Plus will allow multiple viewings for episodes that cover a longer period of time, including earlier seasons.

This new service requires an invitation from Hulu. Initially, Hulu Plus will be available only for computer viewing. Television viewing will be available soon using some Samsung Blu-Ray players. iPads and iPhones should follow shortly and Sony’s PlayStation 3 and Microsoft XBox are to be included later, making Hulu Plus a three platform service.

Is this the precursor to the eventual elimination of “free” access to network programs?
