Hulu about to charge customers
Hulu, the premium internet content service, is about to charge customers for access to certain TV shows and movies, perhaps the most important experiment ever to test whether consumers are willing to pay for full-length professionally produced video sent to their PCs. Data from comScore showed that in May, Hulu delivered 1.1 billion streams, second only to YouTube which delivered 14.6 billion.
Online video site Hulu, under pressure from its media company parents to generate a bigger profit, launched a subscription service Tuesday with complete access to back episodes of popular television shows.
