Interviews and talks from key people in the internet TV industry
Hulu Plus has had a mostly positive reception from industry watchers so far. But Hulu CEO Jason Kilar doesn’t want the hype to get too out of control, hence an interview in which he insists Hulu Plus isn’t going to radically change the world. At least not for a while.
Hulu Plus, Plus What?
Hulu Plus has been unveiled at last after almost a year of speculation and leaked tidbits of information.
What we’ve ended up with is a premium service costing $10-per-month which will offer two main advantages over the free Hulu: availability on televisions and mobile devices; full seasons of popular shows.
Worth $10? That remains to be seen.

The iPad is proving to be very popular, and not just with consumers. Some American networks are embracing the platform and the opportunity it represents, while others don’t seem quite so keen, at least for the time being.
Chatroulette is basically Russian roulette with Webcams. But while you could find yourself chatting to a celebrity or your future partner, you’re more likely to either encounter unwanted male nakedness or become part of an improvised music performance.
The iPad has now been revealed, but its place in the grand scheme of things and how Apple intends to make it an indispensable product aren’t that clear. Knowing that some online video services will be coming to the iPad would be a start. Hulu, anyone?
YouTube may be about to diversify its content in an extreme way – by charging for it. Whether by one-off rentals and download fees, or monthly subscriptions, it looks as though YouTube is set to make revenue from methods other than advertising.

The BBC iPlayer service is currently free to all residents of the United Kingdom. But should the BBC start charging now that the service has proved its worth and kick started the online television sector in the U.K.? Ashley Highfield, thinks so.
